Just watched Chelsea v United and enjoyed the game. But I was bouncing mad. Does this Sarri character think he's a good manager? He hasn't got a fcuking clue!! Chelsea were battling against a brick wall but when Sarri made his substitutions, he did like for like! The United keeper hardly had a shot to save second half but Sarri didn't have the nous to change his approach.
He persisted with Higuain up front who was totally dominated by the physical United CBs. He hardly threatened all game. I like him a lot and accept that he's world class but this wasn't his time. It was blindingly obvious that Chelsea needed some muscle and a physical presence up front to occupy and battle with the CBs (who had an armchair ride) allowing Hazard and Willian, when eventually he was brought on, to feed off the pieces in the United area. But Sarri, with bovine stupidity/stubborness, totally ignored 6ft 4" Olivier Giroud who would have given those CBs a pretty tough time.
Sarri's tactic was to play through United. When that failed miserably, he just changed personnel and kept doing the same thing! How stupid can you get?! He's got a top class target man ideally suited to ruffle the United defence big time and just let him rot on the bench. How some people make a living in football is beyond me but I doubt that Sarri will be doing so at Chelsea for much longer.
I remember Yaya Toure sulking like fuck because he didn't get a birthday cake from Citeh. Birthday cake??!! For Heaven's sake, this guy was being paid north of a quarter of a million quid a week!!
