What's Chelsea fans thoughts on Sarri? Had a lot of **** thrown at him but has got you to the top 4 and league cup/Europa League finals. If he's willing to give the youth a chance with the transfer ban you may as well keep him hadn't you?
It's one season though Comm, if City win it they'll be the first to retain it in a decade and if Liverpool win it then it will be the 4th different winner in 4 seasons. Your point would be better made at the gap between the top 6 and the rest.
Yeah, two teams absolutely incapable of defending. Arsenal continue to look great on the ball, absolutely woeful without it. That hasn’t changed, and Koscielny remains the one player in the entire squad with the instincts to put a foot in and stop the opposition.
Yeah because top notch defending was on show in the Champions League wasn't it ! Bloody Ajax handed it to Spurs
The bottom half is atrocious now. There are a dozen teams who would take seventeenth every year which is understandable but doesn’t make for a great competition IMO. The best are getting better though but not sure that’s particularly healthy when it means 85 points between first and last.
Depends on where they finish. Dates are 11th and 16th May for 3rd v 6th and 12th and 17th for 5th v 4th.
I’d say Lucas Moura seized that tie, personally. After Spurs went more direct. Very different to last night’s game, anyway.
The differences were that in the second half we put them under pressure. They got nervy and didn’t cope once we had scored and finally buckled under that pressure. We also started taking our chances, something we’d failed to do in the entire tie up until then.
Basically they were unable to deal with route one football. Teams just don’t play that way in Holland.
Defensively they were poor, they were open and were always going to concede chances. I think the RS would have torn them a new one in the final so I was pleased you scraped through in the end.
