He is going to get sacked within next week. Hard to survive this humiliation.
Maurizio Sarri's Sack Watch | And Now Our Watch Has Ended

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Isn't it obvious?
Does Roman have the will to pay off managers frequently nowadays? Might just keep Sarri for that reason.
Or he could just accept a gift pack of Marlboro or whatever brand he likes as compo.

Thanks, I was really struggling.
Brilliant
Sack watch - that escalated quickly.
Remember when everyone was really worried when he came to Chelsea. I could never ever understand the hype around him, very average manager.
No it's not, help me out
Im beginninng to doubt this guy does any defensive coaching. The opennesss they have without the ball, especially at the beginning of matches is shocking. And its more than just where Jorginho and Kante are employed
Chelsea will be on to Mourinho to come back again soon enough ...either that or Mourinho will go round telling people they begged him to come back and he turned them down when they never went near him

Amazing that there's even a thread this early, but 4-0 within 25mins wowzers!
As long as they don't hit back next week v us!

It really isn't the managers fault if a team is down 4-0 after 25 mins. It's disgraceful from the Chelsea players.
This is what people said about Pep Guardiola last season. Chelsea are having to change their whole identity. They have been a counter attacking team since the Roman Abramovic took over. His Napoli side played incredible football. It took Pep a season and a half to coach his players.
Chelsea defend by pressing and compactness. The spacing is an issue.
Clueless manager. What's that saying about repeating over and over something that doesn't work (Jorginho as DM, Kante more advanced)
Comparing Pep with Sarri is an insult to Pep really.
City doing us a big favour today ripping chelsea to shreds in first 30 mins. There defence look crap. Hope we can do the same in the cup.
Had a quick look in the Chelsea forum match thread and a few calling for Morhinio back haha.
Alonso getting serious stick

Do you think that's why they are 4-0 down? They are both capable of playing in these positions.
So how long will they be locked in the changing room for today?
Presuming you mean two seasons ago, Guardiola had done more as a manager initially to warrant being given more time after his average first season. Not sure Sarri's gained anything like the same leeway.
That's not the main reason but it contributes to them not being potent during attacks and weak when players run at them.
Oh he's gone , said it after the Bournmouth game. They look awful .
The main reason is the actual players. 4-0 down after 25 minutes is disgraceful, and they will just let Sarri take all the bullets.
Sarri-ball - Sack-ball
Insanity is repeating the same process but expecting different results. Pretty much true for Sarri.
Eh, earlier Van Gaal was better than the Van Gaal we had.
I don't hate possession based strategies per say, it's good to see your team 'in control', and there's nothing quite like a perfectly organised and balanced possession based team in full flow.
A lot of criticisms come from the worst of possession based football. A lot of time under Van Gaal we passed sideways and backwards indefinitely for entire matches, having the ball for the sake of the ball while offering nothing ourselves. It was deathly boring and not effective at all especially considering the players at our disposal.
Meanwhile you get teams like Pep's Barce.
It's one of those 'all or nothing' things. Possession based football is either beautiful or dull as dish water.
Generally I liked Van Gaal and have no ill feelings towards him. He has a clear defined strategy that he implemented, but he should have developed it beyond what he did rather than just let it linger as stale as it was. He got the players to play a base level possession game, now develop that to a progressive possession based game. And he was quite stubborn with some things for example 'my captain always plays' etc.
Right man but with his flaws, wrong time.
That is up for Chelsea to decide. What can be said is that Manchester City were gearing for Pep Guardiola's tenure.
If Chelsea truly want to change their philosophy, it will take more than a season after almost 20 years of playing with a different mentality. It's obvious the team still do not follow Sarri's instructions.
Here we go again with players letting down the manager. If so what was their previous result again ? Wasn't it a big win ?
Then Sarri surely needs to show some flexibility and work around the players he has? Football teams can't dismiss entire squads in one go.
Chelsea's philosophy hasn't exactly been identical since Abramovic took over - Ancelotti's Chelsea was hugely different from Mourinho's, whose own sides were fairly different from Conte's.
I hope he doesnt get the sack until the end of the season. We need erratic Arsenal and Chelsea to get top 4.
I don't get the LVG hate full stop tbh.
Clearly didn't work at United and it was right to move him on, but he won you an FA cup, didn't do so terribly in the league (missed out on 4th by goal difference 2nd season didn't he?) as well as bringing through Rashford and buying Martial.
Looking at the Chelsea forum, there's a shockingly high number of shouts for Jose return to shape them back up. These must really dislike Sarri now!
Against Huddersfield?
You will never stop banging this “players let the manager down” drum will you
They won their last game 5-0. Did they let the manager “take the bullets” in that game as well?
It’s obvious that the manager sent them out with the wrong tactical plan. They’ve been stupidly open from the first second, and that’s on the way the manager sets the team up.
Yeah .1-0 could have been enough, I mean I don't think they have given up. They are just shite today and so wrongly set up
Mike Deane doing his best Freddy Mercury impression.
What part of the tactics made Barkley head the ball back on goal, or made Cesar just concede a penalty?You will never stop banging this “players let the manager down” drum will you

The football was unbelievably atrocious.
The PL was particularly weak at that point too and he still was nowhere near a title challenge.
Why had Kante played the entire game as a right wing/second striker hybrid, exposing Chelsea's underbelly to the Man City attack? You allow your defenders to be constantly put under high-pressure, shit situations and they'll make mistakes.
Individual moments of stupidity, but they’ve been leaking chances left right and center that put the team under that sort of pressure since the match started. That isn’t due to individual moments of stupidity.
