Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[PhilM]

Bad that! Sack him

Owen making out hes some hard man

I dislike Owen and he really shouldn't be saying that on the television as it's suggesting violence and injuring another player.

However, for all those who've played football over the years then I think we would all expect most managers to be saying that very same thing.

 

[EFCPaul]

At any other football club you'd be thrown tonight for doing what he's just done. At Chelsea though they'll probably act like he's done nothing wrong and dump Sarri instead.

Modern footballers mate, outrageously entitled.

Man City now have more major honours than Everton. Sad day

They still only have 5 titles (hopefully 6 in May)
Titles are the yard stick of success - not league cups (though I wish we'd finally get round to winning one anytime soon)

 

[Harryflashman]

It’s not often football leaves you gobsmacked but that Did .

 

[Kantareller]

Kepa galore but what about that pen from Jorginho

I'm still cringing

 

[Mozza1987]

I didn't see the game, only heard what happened but if you were Kepa, you'd be absolutely fuming being substituted right at the end before penalties.
Obviously he should respect the manager's decision but I can totally understand him literally fighting the decision. If you've played 2 hours of football, you deserve to stay on and be given the chance to help win the game.
Even after this, I expect Kepa to be at Chelsea longer than Sarri.

Sorry mate but you are chatting rubbish. Yes he can be annoyed but he is your boss and makes the decisions. Disgraceful from Kepa.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Guardiola confirming Fernandinho and Laporte will be out for weeks.... Huge blow, will likely cost them the league title... Every bit of luck has gone Liverpools way, incredible

 

[daza_1973]

Didn't he get a new contract the following summer?

Hardly the final nail

In my eyes I meant to say.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I'd say Kepa is off, but seeing as Sarri will be fired he'll get a second chance.

 

[MarkHollis]

Kepa galore but what about that pen from Jorginho

I'm still cringing

He must surely realise that goalkeepers will know about his gimmicky penalty stuff by now even if it has worked before. Not a good stunt to pull in a cup final.

 

[LEONARD]

Makes ya nostalgic for Alex Nyarko, a player always desperate to be subbed.

 

[Tubey]

Kepa galore but what about that pen from Jorginho

I'm still cringing

Look familiar?





And people call Ross Barkley thick...

 

[PhilM]

It showed that a kid like Kepa felt he could get away with embarrassing his manager in front of the world

His authority in that dressing room must be non existent

As it was pointed out before, this isn't the first manager to be so publicly undermined by this group of players (well, mostly) and I am not sure it will not be the last.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are three or four real bells in that dressing room who simply rule fear, intimidation and coercion. That then spread downwards.

Chelsea need them gone desperately if they're ever going to really challenge again as otherwise it will be the same cycle of players sulking if it suits them.

Add to that, Caballero is a great pen stopper and knows all the City players techniques (favourite side etc.) so it would have been a really big advantage for them.

 

[Joey66]

....yep, he shouldn’t have asked the goalkeeper anything, he should’ve just checked with the Manager that he wanted him off.

I’m sure Sarri thought having ‘Willy’ in goal could get into the minds of the City players.

Not in his duristiction then......

 

[Minimeister]

Terry talking about tactically going down to waste time. Him and Cahill were masters at it and the ref fell for it every time.
