i wrote a whole load, dissecting last nights game and the poor performers. But deleted it.
Bottom line Sarri must go, even the fans have turned on him. It’s clear the players aren’t performing for him. Same issue with subs. Zappe sub summed it up, couldn’t bring on cho because if he turned the game it would mean he has been wrong.
Don’t get me wrong it’s not all the manager, some troublesome and poor performing players need shipping out.
First out door, Luiz, alonso, Willian, Zappa, closely followed by kovacic, Barklay, jorghino and I’m sorry to say dave.
The reason these players, we need new players, to get rid of the dressing room mafia. Those players have no respect for the fans they way they are acting and performing.
We spent a lot of money on a good keeper but he has no confidence in the team in front of him, this is affecting his performance.
Trouble is being a Chelsea fan is all extreme highs or depressing frustration.
The man for the job is not zidane.
Bring back carlo.

Andrew, I don’t want Sarri sacked but I do agree about Carlo coming back but I’ve got this strange feeling the board/ owner might well make a surprising appointment.

Trouble is TomB, he can’t stay he is inflexible. As a manager I don’t think you can have a my way or the highway approach. You can’t keep repeating things that aren’t working. The biggest indicator of that is subs. Teams can plan against us knowing exactly what we are going to do.

Agree guys Carlo would be my preferred choice but no way Napoli would let us take another one of their managers. I'd expect a Blanc or Allegri, and both managers will struggle in similar fashion because of this squad. And we'll be here going through new potential managers this time next season unless most of these players are gone and replaced with quality.

I agree LondonBlues, I think Sarri requires more time but I also think his stubbornness and boring substitutions will regrettably be his downfall.
I can’t remember who the poster was who said “the players will be getting away with it again†but I think that point is well made.

Trouble is we need a clear out, get rid of dressing room mafia. Almost start again. I’m also not sure it’s not time for Eden to go. He can’t keep threatening so get best money we can. Thing is if we have a clear out we can get decent money. It’s not always about stars. Buy team players, because team players are what we are missing. Players who play for the team, manager and supporters and not for themselves. Just dissalutioned with current bunch.

Indeed andrew, this is why i want us to involve more youth next season. Get these guys in the team, they'll show that desire and fight for the club, they'll play for the badge and bring more of a connection between fans and the players. Get Reece James in the set up with Aina, start CHO and involve Ampadu more often. You'll never question their mentality and surround them with quality. Sign the likes of Romagnoli, Jovic, Mendy, Fekir and Pepe. Doesn't have to be those exact players just needs to be proven quality not quantity. With this type of mix managers would have a much better chance surviving here and i think would find it much easier to implement their style into the team.

My choice would definatelly be Alegri. The guys has passion for football similar to Conte's. Also he is Proven winner and would definatelly not allow the players to rule his dressing room.
Him and JT as his assistant would be amazing.

Morris id love as assistant he will give CHO and Christensen starts and give them a kick up the backside.

Steve Holland for me. JT his assistant. Lamps/ Morris is far too early into their careers to be considered.
