How does Gab works with these clowns on a day to day basis?
nakeem parsons I feel bad for him but he must be bagging some serious cash to tolerate this crap on a daily basis
Are you sure who the clown is these days?
i truly don't understand
Because your not biased at all 😂
Gab slapped them are you serious😂
The guy is a fool he said and quoted "Chelsea fc being impatient is a myth" you telling me he is right?
They have had 13 managers since Roman abramavich how are they not impatient?
I am with Gab, the others are only fishing for drama that's what they like to talk about more on the this show
So he's a good pundit because he's not criticising Chelsea?
@@rsamancunian5609you expected anything else from idiots?
Gab is Italian
looooooool; the only clown in the room is YOUR TINP0T CLUB
Look to $iberian terr0rists daddy's wallet again this summer?? lmao,,, washouts, goodbye!! =D
Dramas and scandals and fake rumours. Don't listen to them
Marcotti is the lone sane soldier over here.. Not Chelsea FC but ESPN FC is the circus and Nicol is the best Joker out of them..
The funny thing is about your comment is there are so many fans who are saying the same thing they are saying. Because they have a different view doesn't make them automatically stupid
@@darkgenesis342 You see our Club's recent hack and slash approach has made us lottery winners.. Sad but true.. And that's how Chelsea picture portrays towards these guys and to a legion of Chelsea fans as well... Abramovich wanted to see the football Napoli played at Chelsea and I really hope that this time he is patient enough and do what's needed.. These guys clearly are no less stubborn than Sarri when it comes to their opinions. Gab clearly has good reasoning than any of them and that's why I called him the lone sane soldier over here.
Agreed man. Gab’s opinion was more fact based while others are arguing out of their gut which sometimes is unlistenable.
Surajit Karmakar Steve nicol has achieved more in football than you’ll ever achieve. What nicol has forgotten about football, you’ll never know
@@eldio2124 Maradona and Pele has achieved much much more than Steve Nicol.. Yet everything they say are not termed as Bible Verses.. is it? Just because you have been a footballer doesn't mean you'll have good reasoning when your role is a Pundit. For once use your brains for God's sake.
Gab is the only reasonable guy!
Gab is talking like a zealot. I think his punditry has been on a downward spiral since 2017.
Chelsea are an awful side plain and simple. Not creative at all as it's just sideways and backward passes so they are right. Not getting 4th. Sarri deserves critiscm for playing Kante further forward. He isn't an attacking player which showed when he mis controlled the ball when he was one on one with the goalkeeper against Bournemouth. Why would you play one of the best defensive midfielders further forward
Simon Evans Chelsea are 4th in the league, and in the league cup final 🤔
FIrst time I've watched any ESPN content in ages. I can't believe they still employ Burley and Nicol. Surely to god this is not what the audience demands in 2019. Two absolute dinosaurs stuck in the dark ages. Sarri certainly hasn't got everything right, not by a long score, but the notion that idiots like Burley and Nicol can just casually glance at some Chelsea highlights and identify what he should be doing instead is fucking ludicrous. Sure he could use his squad better, and Hazard at a nine has not worked at all, but some are the other criticisms (like Jorginho/Kante) are fucking retarded. These people simply do not watch football. They might have football games on in the studio or at home, but they are certainly not watching.
Has he ever criticized anyone Italian in England ever? Can't think of one. #bias
ESPN FC need new pundits. Gab is the only one who knows what he's talking about.
you think they need someone who knows what they talking about? they need exactly these guys, stuff that rakes in the views regardless it it is correct or nonsense,
yeah, listen to the overweight journalist, whose never kicked a ball, and not the former professional footballers
Somebody remind Stevie where Liverpool ended in Klopp's first season at Liverpool
If it was just all about money then PSG would have won the Champions League by now
Yeah he just saying liverpool were shit still even when klopp was there a year and a half still shit but the club was patient and it might pay off! Might!!! Because we all know they could still bottle it haha
4th and two cup finals in a half a season, without the worlds best CDM a better midfield and one of the best wide players in the world and title winners
@@imo098765 finally someone talking some sense. What has Sarri ever done?
@@nathanielbaxter533 nigga he has broken club pts record and came runners up for 2 season in a row in a league where juve dominate
Day in day out Gab proves to be the only sensible one out of them
Nope, Chelsea and Sarri are pathetic
Look at those 2 morons at the right in the end.
Gab left them speechless! Gab deserves to be around the table. Those 2 utterly stupid dickheads on the right are a bunch of insecure manchildren.
I think Gab is right. The ambitions aren't as high this year. Sarri came in initially and said it would be tough, that time no one believed him. He said tougher times ahead and they kept talking about how Pep praises him. These guys aren't Panelists they sound like Mad supporters.
So glad that Gab spoke Media blowing it out of context.
"If plan A doesn't work execute plan A better "
So true..
fool panelists , none of them are worth to become managers even for championship teams,only gabriele speaks sense
Then stop watching them
nah most of them, like any popular pundit associated with bigger football brands, recycle whatever everyone else thinks to keep normies that pay the big outlets to affirm fandom, basically
waaaaaaaaaahhh
Mohammed Naumani But they played the game at a highly level and won trophies (Steve nicol). So they’ve actually had experience and know what they’re speaking about
@@eldio2124 playing at high level doesn't make you a great manager, look at thiery Henry and Gary Neville , they were clueless during their time but are good pundits, and Sarri knows what he is doing, he has plan and I am sure Chelsea knew what they were doing when the choose him to replace conte
Gab speaks more constructive sense and logic then the rest of the panel put together........nicol and Burley just seen like a couple of grumpy old men who waffle on making no sense at all..
It's the players fault I'm tired of this team always blaming the manager
Exactly.
Every team have figured out "Sarri ball" except Chelsea.
GoD Singh lmao yooo good one
+ just block Jorginho and thats it
Not city, I think pep is stubborn like sarri
GoD Singh which team do u support?
@@asimyadav1255
Leicester City .
Kudos to Gab! Just give sarri a break they arent talking about Pouch flanking 4 competition (edit) Gab has earned my respect!
espn pls sack these dinosaurs apart from marcotti. Shocking opinions.
Ikr, the guy that mentioned he used to be a manager embarassed himself even more by saying that... What a bunch of idiots...
Stop crying.
Actually, continue; it's hilarious =D
Sack Gab too?
I'm with Gab on this one.
Funny Fact...
Kante is Chelsea's central midfielder with most goals and assists... and with time he is just getting better and better in that more offensive role
I am quite sure all this so called pundits except gabriele are telling absolute nonsense words, only accusing the manager like the plastic fans. I think they should watch the bournemouth game first before telling the shits, because we conceded 4 goals not only for our tactics, but also for poor performances and lazyness of our players.
Clearly Gab is wrong
What ridiculous comments by the panel, you don't know what you are saying. Well said Gab.
The comments made by the pundit that said he used to be a manager were absolutely shocking ...
Gab should be the lead pundit on this show. Judging by the comments section i feel like others will agree. Everyone else should be sacked.
Only body dat talks with any sense on this show is Gab stevie nicol talks soooo much nonsense every show....Sarri gives context in his pressers to what he is trying to implement not throwing the players under the bus Sarri plzzzz stick to your philosopy!!!
imagine if Liverpool got rid of Klopp all them years he lost and didn't win nothing? but with slow change of team his philosophy was implemented look at them now
if Sarri is given the time and personnel accordingly he wont take as long as Klopp spend like city and hell do it even quicker
The media don't watch Chelsea especially this lot who will only tune in for Chelsea big games.....Us Chelsea fans see what Sarri is saying. Hazard is playing like an individual......he gets annoyed we ain't giving him the ball every 2 minutes, then comes WAY out of position into the defensive third to COLLECT...and then lose it. Pedro with age has started to release the ball less frequent than just last season or the season prior. Willlian is the same old Willian. Sarri is at fault for one thing.....and that is starting Alonso for so long, but even that has been rectified. Media are pushing this narrative in order to get Sarri fired, then turn around and say "This is what Chelsea are known for".
Roman knew what he was getting into when he hired this man. He's not going to sack him. Especially if he finishes in the top 4. This isn't team. This team needs changing.
For once someone recognizes how the media pushes the narrative to apply pressure on managers and get fans agitated or even get the manager sacked. Kudos👍 top comment.
I agree with you completely, I feel like English media is the worst
Not a Chelsea fan,but I quite agree with Gab on this one !The rest are just being intentionally critical about Sarri!
Mourinho’s gone, now it’s Sarri’s turn. Business as usual for these dimwits
Emery next, or Pep or Klopp depending on who fails to win the title. These guys always have a fall guy to bash on.
@Sturds Sturds He most definitely did.
This reminds of Guardiola in his first season at man city. Everyone was like u cant play that football here in england and blah blah. Next season they become record breakers and noe they’re like his the best coach in the world. Bandwagon pundits. Just know burley in his career has 0 titles and Alejandro played in MLS just saying. They’re qualified to criticise apparently smh
absolutely on point mate couldn't agree more these guys aren't qualified just banter fc pile of crap
Everyone knew in 16/17 with a new GK, new fb’s and another cb then we would storm the league. Pep has won everywhere he’s been and his track record speaks for itself. Sarri has never won anything so what makes you think he’ll get it right and start delivering trophies. Get ready for another pasting next Sunday
When Gab started laughing at Steve I lost It 😭😭😭😭😭
Don't agree with stevie, Chelsea players have thrown themselves under the bus. They are snakes and prove it every season
lol you bellend no they didnt
Yeah they did because they are snakey bastards. Chelsea FC have more snakeskin than an Italian shoe shop!
@@andrew2450 The SAME team had thrown themselves under the bus when playing for Mourinho and Conte. These players are a bunch of primmadonas
I'm not a chelsea fan and don't care what happens with them but i do think the media is taking this issue out of proportion because sarri is the manager and he's doing whats best for his team and he got a 5-0 win today so it cleary worked
Lol. Gab is on point. Those guys in the studio including the so-called ex coach know nothing about what they were saying. They need to watch the interview better and take their emotions out of it. And i am a Chelsea fan who agrees with Sarri. Hazard, Willian esp who feel like the biggest stars don't play to his system. They hold the ball too long and want to dribble thereby killing the quick attacking play. They are not playing good enough for the system. My problem with Sarri is his unwillingness to drop them in the prem for Odoi who i blv will do better for the attack.
CHO will get his time next season. For now I'll fine with him getting more time off the bench. Hopefully we sell william once and for all in the summer and Pedro too (I love him but he's 32) with CHO and the American we can have a dynamic attack. Idk about Eden if he goes he goes.
Marcotti is absolutely correct. And I don’t know why all the others are having a meltdown. There’s obviously a process.
MAYBE EDEN IS THE HAZARD FOR THE CHELSEA FC MANAGERS , AND THEY NEED TO SELL HIM TO REAL MADRID SO THE CLUB CAN MOVE ON AND REBUILD ON A NEW STYLE OF MANAGEMENT AND ALSO TRY ON SARRI- ALL PHILOSOPHY .. JUST AN OPINION
Malbor Xhukellari everybody body says sell him to Madrid but but Madrid has never made an attempt to buy him
Everyone is starting to realize that
@@mict1418 VERY TRUE.. BUT REAL WOULD PURCHASE HIM IN A HEARTBEAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY HOW THEY LEFT THE GOALSCORING POSITION UNFILLED SINCE CR7 DEPARTURE FOR TURIN GIANTS JUVE..
I totally agree, I think Chelsea needs to be rebuilt, I also think the whole needs to change everything
I wonder what people were saying about City when they got beat 4-0 by Everton. Or when Chelsea beat them 3-1 playing counter attack .
Nothing because pep won trophies. That's their excuse.
Hahahahahaha oh well. That’s a poor excuse then. What has pochettino won ?? 🤣 yet he’s still respected .
@@jessesackey-walker5660 for some reason ppl love spurs. I think it's cuz Kane is English
Yeah I don’t get it . Chelsea are always getting overly criticized
I support coach Sarri 100 percent on his approach and comments. I remember when Pep and Manchester City came to Stanford Bridge (after Chelsea had won the league with Conte) and Chelsea won the game 2-0. Manchester City dominated possession and had more chances than Chelsea during this game but Chelsea had 30 percent ball possession and 2 shots on target and Chelsea won the game 2-0 (happy days i thought after the game). However during the post match interview Pep said he was very happy with the performance of his players because they were able to dominate ball possession and create more chances to score against the PL champions at the time (Chelsea) at Stanford Bridge - that to me as a Chelsea fan says it all. If Chelsea want to be a dominant force both in England and Europe, Chelsea players need to learn to play their own game with personality, identity and without fear, dominate possession, be patient to create their own chances and take the chances to kill off games. As a so called big team you cannot carry on to expect to have 20 percent of the ball with 1 shot on goal and expect to win games both in the PL and Europe and expect progression as a club. Coach Sarri spoke about Barca' or Real playing football with personality and identity- look how well they do very season.
Chelsea have never beaten Peps city 2-0. Conte title winning season we beat them 2-1 and last season we lost one nil at home and one nil away.
We won 2-0 this season. But not last year like your statement says.
Kudos to Gab. The football world needs more Gabs
Gab is fighting for sarri because he is Italian
Also coz it makes sense to back Sarri when players don't turn up. Simple as that. Real fans of Chelsea get Sarri
Yeah patience is what we need , Pep, Klopp , Pochetino got time why not him
100% Gaby is correct. Why does Sarri has to change because he lost a single game, it’s non-sense. Burnley can not respond an answer and said I’m fed up. Steve you are here because you did not succeed as a manager. So stick with your plan to the end, if not you will end up changing style and plan every game u lose a match.
You can tell that Gab never played, or coached at even a decent level.
Nobody complained about Sarri's tactics in the 1st half or when we beat man city and knockout spurs.... I think the players are to blame for this match personally 2mins in the 2nd half Bournemouth scored after than the PLAYERS just gave up easy to blame the manager
Not even think the players ARE to blame
"Sarri ball" is Sorry ball
As someone who's watched every single game or Chelsea, I would say with this squad Sarri hasn't been as good but I don't expect, essentially didn't expect a lot - top 4 is relative to our level as this Sarri Ball is quite like an arcade type of game, at its best it's very quick transition, fast thinking, attempting narrow circuit based routines, and we're not seeing it but the first half vs the cherries, it was reminiscent of Napoli Sarri in some ways, build up mostly but that in itself is pivotal to Sarri at least, and in many forms he excites me but hinders himself a bit, Italian stubbornness costs with imperfections
would say Sarri simply needs to invest time into strategizing a second formation (424/442)and in game knowledge, differing his stance from the Prem > Serie A. it was a lot more open there and who knows truly, if Sarri Ball can work to what he thinks it can - the reason I say this is because his style is probably the most unique I've ever seen in my time anyway, so perhaps a midfielder like Golovin is the solution. it's the only true issue in our side from competing against Liverpool/City, second tiers being CB, RB, LB, possibly RW if Hazard goes and Pulisic is solely RW
yeah thats the problem, sarri ball > chelsea ball
Sarri didn’t even win a trophy in the Mickey Mouse serie a and you trust him to be successful here? Hell no. Sarri is stubborn, he will never play kante in dm and will persist with that clown Jorginho
@@eldio2124
i don't really like Kante's energy being used so recklessly from Sarri but other than that, his position is fine & he's gained a lot of awareness spatially with the ball, Kante going ain't a bad thing, Sarri knows this as well
@Greg Frost
true, but Pulisic has learned under Tuchel so i expect his role to be polished at steady levels, won't need a season to adjust imo
@Communist Glaceon
if i make more good takes we should seize the means of production together
lol just clocked you're a communist that receives pleasure from the misery of others (physically harming), imagine living in such a contradiction
Gab knows what hes saying. Give Sarri time and the players he needs and Sarri ball will be a success
These pundits don’t really analyze the game they watch .. it seems to me there’s always one person to pick on that’s wat they all go with . Don’t know how Gab got in amongst them, they are a bunch of clowns n am united fan
Hard to believe this is the same team that went 14 games undefeated at the start of the season
Nobody can understand Sarri's tactics except Sarri himself.
YOu have to give Sarri credit for his honesty. He's always maintained that he'll say what he thinks regardless of how people take it. Most managers won't say what they're thinking because they're worried about how it will be perceived.
someone remind Nicol that Liverpool finished 8th first season under Klopp. Surprised to actually know that Craig actually played for Cfc
People are saying Stevie Nicol is the joke here but as he said he's worked in the staff at a club, he knows the ins and outs. And what Nicol said is absolutely right, what Marcotti is saying is not necessarily wrong but he's also missing the point completely. The simple fact is, if you're not going to change things for the benefit of the players and the club cus "Sarri is his own man" then that's what's going to get u sacked. Managing is not about individualism. It's the same with mourinho
Pinch of salt everyone. There's a reason pundits are pundits and managers are managers. MU fan here btw
taking kante out of his position is disrespectful to the game
I don't understand this "Kante is out of position" take. Kante's been a box to box destroyer his whole career at Leicester, France, and Conte's Chelsea, and Sarri is playing him as... A box-to-box destroyer. Kante was never a holding DM.
professor just shut up
Sarri knows more about football than these guys have forgotten.
When Jose left, I was dissapointed. No more managers causing rows. But now Sarri's here, so it's all good lmao!
Emery's voice is donald duck like 😂😂😂😂😂
Managers first job is to get the players motivated, get them concentrating and make sure they’re switched on for 90 mins a week.. if you can’t do that you’ve failed at your job before tactics or personnel are even brought into it, if Sarri can’t get them up for a 90 min match each week then he’s not doing his job
As an inter fan who follows seriaA and lives in the Uk following the Prem, too, I can say napoli played the most attractive football under Sarri. Blistering and great to watch. He just lacked squad depth. At Chelsea given time and his own squad selection Chelsea will a global powerhouse.
Quite honestly, How is Steve Nicol even on the panel? His statements shows poor analysis of the situation. He’s just going along with the media BS.
isnt it suspicious that internal problems have repeated in Chelsea for years? key players must be transferred if they want since this awkward atmosphere will sustain putting the team at stake
These guys are not strong enough to be pundits......Gab I like Ur calmness.
Nicol u just embarrassed me.
Personal I think we are missing lots of things at Chelsea. Do we have a playing culture like Barcelona has?
At Barcelona you touch Leo Messy you are finished.
Sarri's issue is different from Conte. Conte killed himself by chasing a proven striker in Costa that won the league for him previous season and bought someone who hardly had Game time at Real Madrid. The guy failed terribly.
When Jose came back to Chelsea he brought back Drogba because he wanted to take pressure away from Diego Costa to give him time to settle in.
Now Sarri is coming in and want sadden change by not working well with players.
Sarri needs to be smart.....get results even dirty till you have settled in.
I think oppo managers already figure out how to play against Sarriball... which is to suffocate (man mark) jorginho out of the game.
Early in the season, jorginho number of touch in a game is almost double everyone else... I doubt that was the case the past few games..
What about the Chelsea players who got Mourinho and Conte sacked for the same reasons. How come none of these managers is good enough for these players. Maybe Hazard and co. should pick the next one.
Eden head is at real. The funny thing is real might not even go for him cuz they are using youth. Eden is 28.
absolutely right! @@RasenRendanX
@@DSteven9986 that's the whole funny part of this situation. If Eden isn't careful he will end up hated like Tibo. I already accepted he won't stay but he can turn from hero to villian with fans.
If Chelsea want to be a successful club like man city and Barcelona the board and the fan needs to be patient with the manager .
Is it a coincidence that the same problems happen with the last 3 managers. Its been the same crop of players maybe its the players
you have to change if it's not working if you don't change then you will fail doing the same thing over and again is the definition of insanity
As a Chelsea fan it’s hard to see. We keep signing average players. Honestly I hope that these young players like pulisic, odoi, etc can become the future
So that now Mourinho is sacked Steve Nikol and ESPN FC have set Sarri as their target ....I don't understand why so much hate for Sarri ...they must be reminded of Guardiola and Klopps first season in premier League
Why all these negative comments. Sarri’s napoli played the best football in Europe, give him time and the players to execute the football he wants and you’ll see a very good Chelsea team.
If he sticks to this system anymore and it doesnt work
He is going to get sacked even before the season ends
Every good coach should have a fallback option a plan b to try to change the game or change a certain run of form
Chelsea not a sacking club?
The only manager to deliver a champions league trophy to this club when he took over as interim was fired at the end of the season instead of getting any backing after his delivery of success to the club.
I wont even mention the others...
As strange as this might sound, they are all right. Various arguments in their points have merit still I'd say over Gab is more right.
I swear to God, Craig Burley and Stevie Nicol are just like two old muppets who watch Sunday league football at the local pub while sipping on a pint.
Everybody hates Gab who seems to be the only pundit in the whole crew
I remember when Pep came he struggled for 4th then changed out almost all his team and now everyone praise him. Calm down and stop looking something to argue.
Mourinho openly and publicy critisized Hazard on multiple occassions for forgetting his defensive duties playing on the wing. Hazard the following year after taking in that criticism had his best season.
After mourinho was fired the 2nd time at chelsea hazard came out and publicly stated he was sorry for having any part in mourinho sacking after being with conte.
These players who think they are above the club because they achieve some small individual success are ruining the game. If a manager can get fired, a player should be able to receive sikilar sanctions. Perform at your best all the time, its what your paid for.
I think gab is wrong here. He’s only defending sarri because he’s Italian. Normally I agree with him but he’s just being stubborn here none of the panelists made any unreasonable points but Gab is just in defensive mode when the issue is even vaguely serie a related.
Sarri doesn't give a shit. He is just living the dream after working as a bank clerc.
Normally I agree with Gab, but I think he's wrong this time, but maybe it's because I'm not a Chelsea fan. This happened at my club, Manchester United, with Mourinho. He criticised his players, most notably Pogba, and he got sacked because of it. I do agree with Gab's last point though.
I would like to see one of these guys manage a football club.
Do they actually watch the games? Or extended highlights at least
I am a Chelsea fan but what happened with Conte was shameful. Imo Sarri has big shoes to fill.
Hazard is the star player. The star players always get the brunt of the blame.
Sarri knows his staff and those are his men so I think that they didn’t take offense to not being in the meeting. What matters is Chelsea manager, players and staff being on the same page.
Marcotti might have more credibility if he ever criticised anyone Italian in England but he doesn't want to lose his contacts. Di Canio (lovely chap) Zola, good coach. Baldini, excellent diector of football. The biased list goes on.
All of you sound like clowns defending Gab lmaooo
Total nonsense from this lot...ESPN...Did these dudes every play professionaly?
Gab is the only one on this show that talks well !!!
I love when they argue
How does Gab work with these people? Worst bunch of “analysts” in history.
Gab making sense
not really, he blindly defends italians all the time lol, Sarri is losing the plot and he will be sacked
@@Rockiees lol I disagree. He'll get it right
@@Rockiees after half a season? What's the point of hiring him in the first place.
One of the easiest jobs in the world is being a pundit. Just side with the winning side, and you’re set. A few pundits are aware and reasonable, the others are just clowns. Take Gary Neville as an example. None of these pundits will survive half a season as managers.
Why is anyone surprised that Maurizio Sarri is not succeeding at Chelsea? Anyone who has watched Italian soccer over the past decade knows he’s an above-average manager who has a mentality that he is world class. Sarri has never finished above 2nd place in any competition he has been a manager in, and he was a manager in serie B at one time lol. True, Empoli earned promotion, but they still finished second place in the league that year. He also never finished above 2nd with Napoli so let’s stop pretending a manager who has never won a single competition he has been a part of is world class. But it must always just be his players fault for not implementing his champion winning system properly, never mind that his so called “champion winning system” has never actually won a championship at any point in his career. And once again, this guy coached multiple season in the “serie B.” I am an Italian soccer fan and regardless of the top league, serie B is complete trash lol.
Obviously sarri is not doing well, I am more concern that he can't get his players to play at their best. ALonso, Asquilicueta, and William are currently player under pa. None of the new signings are playing well also.
Did he really just say Mourinho had chelsea on the brink of relegation. What a knobhead
Hey Gabriealla did you chop it ?
So if your players are under performing u shouldn't call them out... And a couple weeks ago Harzard came out and said he has frustrated and will continue to frustrate other managers including sarri ....so its ok for him to openly say that but if he doesn't play up to par don't call him out .... And I am a Chelsea fan ....
7:34 why does gab keep saying guardiola finished 4th in his first season, he finished 3rd. I thought he was paid to know this stuff
5-0 proved that sarri and his style of play is no to blame..
Its the players attitude.
I've watched all of chelsea matches this season..and i could almost predict the way things are about to pan out in the 90 minutes just by looking at the players body language.
p.s Im not saying i have this special ability..what im saying is the players attitude fluctuates so drastically that you can literally see that in their body languages..
Hence the strange variation in the results:
Che: 0 Bou: 4
Che : 2 MCI: 0
CHE : 0 LEI: 1
TOT : 3 CHE :1
CHE : 2 TOT:1
And a lot more
I don’t know why I keep watching these clueless pundits. I already know that Gab is the only reasonable pundit among them. Nicol was boasting of being a coach but what did he won?
An interesting discussion. Quite liked it, luvs. In my view, the players are to blame. This is the 3rd manager who's had problems with these set of players.
The 1st manager they can possibly get away with blaming their fall on him, a 2nd manager is pushing it but still doable if not cowardly, but a 3rd boss is just taking the mick. Heck no. That team needs a complete and utter overhaul in the summer, including Mr Liability, Eden Hazard. He's supposed to be their best player but where is he when things go south? Say what you will about Pogba, but at least he has the drive and charisma to spearhead his team to a comeback like when Jose's Man Utd rallied to beat Newcastle 3-2. Now, if that were Jose's Chelsea side of their nightmarish 2015/16 season, I don't see them coming back.
It says a heck of a lot that United were still in 6th and within distance - albeit lengthy - of the top 4 despite Jose leading them to their worst ever start while Jose's Chelsea lingered near the relegation zone following theirs.
I rest my case. Those players have become too comfortable and must be replaced with actual quality if Chelsea wants to achieve greatness again.
