Anyone see what a cronut the Chelski goal keeper was? For those who didn't see it - he refused the order to be substituted for Willy Cabellero in the final minutes of extra time. Sarri was ****ing livid! Is Sarri's time up? Rightly or wrongly? Should he be given more time? Has Kepa lived up to his £71M price tag or should he have acted professional and left the pitch? Should he be given more time?
Should of left the pitch The manager is the one that stands and fall by his decision Kepa wants a good kick in the nuts for me like The club is bigger than the keeper
£71m goalkeeper vs a manger who’s lost the plot not to mention the dressing room. Only One winner for me, if you can call it that. I’m expecting Kepa to be dropped for the rest of the season maybe and then Sarri will be gone in the summer!
Never seen anything like that before Really the ref should of ordered off the keeper as the subs board had been shown
Just watched a replay and seriously Kepa - what a knob! If this was NUFC (and in the past I could easily imagine it) then I would want the keeper flogged regardless of what happens to the manager
I see Sarri is playing it down by saying he thought he may have had cramp hence the substitution. Hmmmm.......
The keeper was down for ages As a manager I would of thought he was injured and I would not want my keeper facing pens while being injured If the keeper was not injured then he should of been booked for feigning injury and wasting time
Isn't Willy a bit of a penalty expert though? Either way, Kepa should have left the pitch and shame on the Chelski players.
I watched it and must be the only one to think good on the keeper for saying fek it I've played 115 minutes and I'm going to play till the end, it's just cramp. Mind, I've never seen a keeper go down with it twice though he did make a sharp recovery He should have saved the second pen though.
Kepa definitely should have come off. You would have thought that some of the others would have ushered him off the pitch. It looked rediculous on telly.
I think the keeper thought (and so did I) that Sarri wanted to sub him because he was crocked. It was a genuine cock-up, the goalie soon recovered and was shouting that he was OK. Would Sarri have brought Caballero on if he thought his keeper wasn't injured? Was it a tactical substition? Who knows? It made for good viewing though.
I had thought he seemed like a good captain previously but he was no where to be seen. You'd at least step in to get the Comms sorted out between keeper and the bench and not just let it get resolved via a lot of finger waving and shouting.
Something lost in translation according to them. It is difficult to believe when you watch it but who knows. A simple one, if it was a genuine misunderstanding, move on. If not the keeper should not play for at least a month or until he learns some respect. Reality though, Sarri will be sacked and a manager brought in they will respect for a month or two. Or until things aren't going well. Then they will disrespect them too and have them sacked. Rinse and repeat. I struggle to believe the misunderstanding angle as there were plenty of spanish speakers on the pitch.
This is totally it, Sarri had clearly cited him as a secret weapon should a penalty shoot out happen, after saving 3 pens in the Man City vs Liverpool match. Who the **** is Kepa to overrule Sarri's tactics? If a player is subbed it's the rules he goes off, the ref should have told him to get off, or at the very least the Chelsea players should have made him leave. What's next, players deciding goal against them should be disallowed? Players telling the ref they're going to stay on the pitch when they're sent off. Sad state of affairs that a players thinks that just cos he cost £71m then his dick is so big that he can disobey orders from his manager.
Just wondering if the ref would have been within his rights to give him a yellow card? It's a bit of a grey area I suppose and I'm not aware of a precedent set for this sort of thing previously. At the end of the day the board has gone up, his number was on it which is a clear instruction for a substitution. Regardless of what he thinks about it if he decides to take matters into his own hands and stay on the pitch then he's timewasting (which is a cardable offence). I hope he's ****ing dropped to the bench for the rest of the season for his antics like, jumped up little prick !!
I thought this at the time. The ref has a responsibility to keep the game moving. Once a manager gives the numbers to the 4th official for the board, the ref then has to enforce it. He should have said to the goalkeeper, "look you are delaying the game, you've been subbed, now **** off or I'll book you"
