I’m not going to speak in detail about the loss last night, that was shambolic. If I was a supporter who made the trip to the Vitality Stadium, I’d be knocking on doors at Cobham today demanding a ticket refund.
But sack Sarri? Don’t be silly. It’s just past mid-season, whether you agree or not, he certainly needs more than half a season.
Having said that, there are a number of things that annoy me about his current reign. I fear that his stubbornness will end up getting him the sack. If something isn’t working, change it.
If the players don’t get your system yet, tweak it, a bit. I’m one of the few who understands what he is trying to do here though. I get his system. It’s about quick passing and interchanges, leading to ‘goals’…
I’d rather boss a game than be defensive and rely on opposition mistakes. But with that said, I’d also rather win matches. We aren’t turning our possession into goals, so, therefore, it becomes boring and frustrating.
If we were scoring and winning, nothing but good things would be said right now. But we aren’t, and that cannot be ignored.
Sarri blames lack of motivation from his players, and I agree to an extent – some of these players mentalities are a disgrace. They down tools when things aren’t going well, and there is nobody standing up and being counted. A lack of leaders, maybe.
A lack of balls, absolutely. They are all too quick to hide and not take responsibility. They are ALL to blame, none of them have the strength to go to war, to battle and dig in. Even Eden Hazard looks lost at times and his head already looks in Madrid.
