Wrong about Sarri?

I think this is not fair to say at all.

The squad isn't really that great, all other top 4 teams have more world class players and all of them have better strikers and better back up strikers on their benches. So getting top 4 is an improvement from last season, that's an anchievement all things considered, ffs we got top 4 playing without a striker that's worthy of Champions League football.

Sarri came and changed our system, we looked weak in defense for most part of the season and we look clueless in attack most of the time, even so Sarri got the result and deserves some credit for it because our goal wasn't to compete for the title but to get Champions League football.

Remember that last season it was a gap of 30 points, Man city had 100 points and we had 70, now they have 95 and we have 71 with 1 game to go, Sarri might not be the long term solution but this squad can't do much better than this so we shouldn't sack Sarri when he actually did get us where everyone wanted to end up!

If this squad had a potent goalscorer, it'd have nailed top 4 long ago.  It's a top squad in areas and any manager with half an idea of football could/should have got top 4 with it.  Im not saying if Pep or Klopp had the job theyd finish 1st/2nd  but they'd have us much closer than we are.   They're tactically better. Its that simple

 
The ban will be lifted by CAS IMO so we will see if the club give Sarri 'his' signings or make their own.  (itll be the latter i suspect).  By xmas he will be gone, thats me being realistic knowing our club

Also makes me laugh the ones desperate to shoot down anyone wanting Sarri out, are the same ones who never even touted him for the job post-Conte.   You'd Never heard of him until he got linked here

No one has any problem about people wanting Sarri out, everyone's entitled to their opinion. What gets people's goat is the extreme mental gymnastics that have people trying to spin even his positive aspect into a negative.

stop being a div. He is not a top manager and they were the ones i could think of in a quick few seconds.  I'd have Poch before Sarri, too,

Pochettino came into this country a national hate figure and his first season at Spurs makes Sarri's season here look like something from Pep's Barca.

Poch should be the poster boy lesson against judging too soon.

 
I think sarri has done a decent job personally at the start of the season my expectations were a top 4 finish and hopefully a trophy. We are confirmed top 4 and still have a chance of a trophy. I think overall he has achieved right on expectations and deserves another season, there was plenty of people prepared to give morata another chance so why not the same for sarri. Remember people klopp and guardiola didn't exactly set the world alight in their first seasons but how quickly that's forgotten. Let's all just get behind the team whatever happens. KTBFFH

 
Thought we played well today but finishing let us down. If we can sort that out we could be in good shape for next season. 

No idea how we sort that out. I look back to a couple of years ago and wonder how we didn't buy aubamayang. 

 
stumbled to third, just lucky those around us were also poor this season at times.  big changes needed. squad wise especially

 
One of few Chelsea-managers that's managed to suck the joy out of watching us. We just look extremely dull, effortless, boring and all in all we are just quite similar to Wenger's Arsenal at their worst. Which is what everyone in unison would have hated to see before we hired Sarri, but that some seems to be content with now that he's managing us. Which i struggle to wrap my head around.

What makes it worse is we helped fund that move by buying a striker that Arsenal wanted to get rid of.

Because you are trying to see only negatives 

We are nothing like Wenger's arsenal. We are one season into a project to change our style of football.

I am looking forward to the day Sarri wins a big trophy with us and you and wallosh still find something to complain about.

How long is it supposed to take? His contract is out in a year so his time is running out.

Conte changed our style of football in a week and won us the league the same season.  Sarri has had a whole season now to "change our football" and so he has. My opinion is simply that's he changed it into something underwhelming as i described.

And i hope he does. If he turns us around and wins us the league or CL i'll take my hat off for him. But i don't think he'll last to the end of next season even if he stays past this summer.

This decade alone i would rank 10/11, the AVB part of 11/12, 15/16, and last season as worse to watch us, by quite a distance aswell.

All managers responsible for the seasons you've mentioned here lost their job btw.
The only season out of those we were much worse was 15/16. All the others are very much comparable.

Conte is the past. That style of football worked for one year, then died on its arse. Because it wasn't sustainable and it really wasn't very pretty when we started to be found out. 

If we had that years Costa in this set up, we would be doing a damn site better than 73 points as well. We'd have won today comfortably, we'd have beaten United at their place. 

Just be f**king patient and see how we do next year and stop carping on, it's embarrassing when we consider the two teams ahead of us had worse first seasons when their "project managers" took over.

He was my first choice once rumours of Costa wanting out started. I kept banging on about him in the rumours thread before he signed for Arsenal. It seemed like such an obvious choice, but he was another striker that slipped through our fingers.

 
Honestly at the time I would have preferred Morata to Aubameyang. Younger, could give us more years at top level. Obviously I never saw him being as bad as he was.

Such horsesh*t. Our points total would get us to 3rd most seasons. The teams around us wobbled at a bad time, yes, but in most seasons you would expect all teams to have rough patches, the main difference this season is the top 2 are/ were outstanding and didnt wobble at all throughout the season,
