I'm not usually a fan of goals like that. I always think they're hopeful at best ... although when they do go in they're definitely a thing of beauty. And to do it on your debut ... against the top team. It can't get much better than that.

So Chelsea were well and truly beaten last night by a very good Man Utd side. Gonna be interesting to see how much longer they'll give Sarri now. If Chelsea get battered again by City next week then the wheels will have truly come off.

My problem with this is that Chelsea knew what kind of manager they were getting, they knew his style if play. Surely it's up to them to stuck with him until the end of the season to get his style into form, right? Then again, we all know there are some serious dickheads in that Chelsea squad who will just down tools for the smallest of reasons.

"will you people stop saying Chelsea so much"

would it be hilarious if mourinho came in again?

hahahahaaaa

like some venezuelan soap opera

wait, does venezuela make soap operas anymore?

I watched Chelsea v MU and yeah, the players aren't helping but nor is Sarri helping himself. He wants everything to go through Hazard to the point where any team now knows exactly what they need to do to neutralise them. And even when Hazard's up for it, while he has occasional games where he's genuinely unplayable, he's never been someone you can rely on week in week out.

What???
My hometown team's just reached the last 16 in the Europa League???
Rennes??? Really??? A club mocked by most French pundits???

They really played well and won 3-1 in Spain against Betis Sevilla!!!

i am so psyched about this game

buying all the hype

liverpool without firmino otoh...

Not sure what's wrong with Liverpool atm. Surprised they're still top. This is the worst time to have a dip in form, especially as MC seem to be hitting theirs.

to use a highly scientific descriptor, “their forwards have lost their mojo” XD

Boy, am I glad I didn't get to watch the games today.

Well well, Chelsea MC was crap but Kepa defying Sarri by refusing to be substituted for the shoot-out and Chelsea then losing it. Ouch.

Clearly spoke to soon. If I was Sarri I'd stab the cunt Kepa, it at the very least slap he. What an absolute mess.

It's bad for Kepa. Can't see him playing again for as long as Sarri's there. But the fact he defied him so openly tells me he has zero control of the players. Could you imagine Ederson doing that to Pep? Allison doing it to Klopp? If Sarri's sacked Abramovich should sign a holy trinity of Simeone, Keane and DiCanio so they can tag team beating the shit out of Kepa (and all the other troublemakers) till the end of the season.

:D :D :D

Someone mentioned how the telling sign is that none of the senior players, Luiz aside, went up to Kepa to get him off. Really do hate this whole downing tools thing. I know I've said it before but it pisses me off, man.

so... couple of days?

I wouldn't even be surprised if Sarri resigns over this. I can't remember seeing a manager disrespected like that. But regardless if Sarri stays or goes, Kepa should be sacked.

If this is true then ... well I don't know what to think ...
