there's too much culture shock after years of pragmatic defensive managers to suddenly change to switch to attacking football and perfect after in one year. Sarri needs to swallow his pride and return Kante to his position/switch tactics to achieve short term goals but implementing new philosophy depends on long term vision of board and if they're willing to commit longer and get DOF. This is bigger than any one individual.
I think they're proven whiners. When the new coach is in, they keep brown nosing, saying it's so much better... and then all of sudden, when the coach asks for hard work, they stop backing him. This is not a winner mentality, it's a whiner mentality.
Rich coming from someone who defended Mourinho till few months ago! I'm just messing with you
Well no problem at all mate.Rich coming from someone who defended Mourinho till few months ago! I'm just messing with you
Anyway, I think Sarri has never been in a position to win a league. Winners can also be mentally weak btw. Look at City. They won the league with such ease but gaps in their mentality are showing now.
Horriball
In comparison to Chelsea players, they'll treat him like that.
They’re too often mood players. When things are good they’re amazing. When things start going bad they down tools. For a club that used to pride itself on fighting no matter what, it’s hard to take sometimes. If we moved Hazard and Willian on, I wouldn’t be too upset. I’m becoming increasingly convinced that those two are holding us back from building a consistent, dedicated team.
If Chelsea fans truly have that opinion then that's plain stupid.
I'm talking about Chelsea players not Chelsea fans.
You're looking at his past and not his trajectory. He started from Amateur football and climbed his way here. Someone like Zidane or Pep had a considerable head start. Moyes has been managing in the top flight for way longer than Sarri but what Sarri has achieved is 5 times that of Moyes.
That doesn't change that at 60 you're pretty much at the end of your career. He has about 5-6 years left in his career imo.
He can go as long as he is alive.
Because they started the season really well.
The problem is in the details for me. He decided he wants to play only a certain way, which is fine I suppose, but doing that by playing his best players out of position is not the right way to go about it IMO.
See his pressers though. He said for the 4-0 the team actually played well first half and it could be his problem that he can't motivate them. It's a bit more nuanced than "Sarri bashing his players".
I've watched both interviews. The "failed to motivate" comment is just another passive aggressive jab at the players though. Just saying that the players aren't motivated to play for the club. No manager does it, but if he was really going to take blame for the situation then he should be admitting that he made a massive tactical cock up which is the real problem. Players not being motivated is only a symptom.
Not 100% sure but didn't Conte go in the same direction?
Well for me a passive aggressive jab is very different than an outright bashing which Mourinho would do or what the media says Sarri does.
Kante is not the hill to die on here.
Yeah their big issue has been creating quality chances. I do not know how playing Kante at the base of midfield fixes that. And Jorginho is getting pressed out of matches imagine how easy that strategy would be if Kante was in Jorginho's position.
They played okay in the League Cup Semi-Final. They raise their game for cup games. I doubt the players care about getting top 4 because some of them won't be there next season. That's the problem with mercenaries.
Hazard I can understand. But why willian?
More like Btec van Gaal
But you are not getting it now either.
Hes won nothing in his career to say hes a good coach.
Win the same as Pochettino.
Does not mean he's not a good coach.
