Etc?

Only thing I'll give him credit for it being smart enough to realise he had to change his football to hang on for that scudetto. Some coaches cannot swallow their pride to change. But he was the first of a set of bad decisions the club made in terms of staff and players. He wasn't a fit and he...

Looks a bit like Adam Levine to me.

Would Sarri fix his crippled legs with second hand smoke?

Every tournament is won on small details. To suggest it was some fluke is nonsense.

Lol rubbish, that team hadn't lost since 2018 and played great football.

:lol: :lol:

It's easy to forget amongst the vitriol that Sarri has won the Europa League and the Serie A titles in his last two seasons as a coach, so he might have been the wrong guy at the wrong club but he still has standing on the continent as a coach. That said, next season without Kane I can see...

Watching under Sarri was also awful for large spells, but he quickly changed his style to something more suitable for us once he realised he had no chance to play like at Napoli. Pirlo doesn't have the experience of 30 years (didn't even have 30 games) to do that, which isn't his fault, but...

Did you see AVB shit-stirring again, saying he never wanted Ntcham on loan? He's such a shit coach.

:lol: I was thinking yesterday that I need a change. Even Tuttosport tried to hide him in the corner.

There is no period for adjustment at Juve. Coaches like Sacchi would be full of praise for Juve if they were scrapping around in 3rd or 4th playing his attacking football, that's just the way he is. But Juve would never allow it. In the end Sarri did end up adopting more traditional Juve...

It's another gamble.

Well we fucked this one right up. Wrong on so many levels. Didn't seem like a fit and wasn't a fit, but I suppose at least they admitted to their mistake. The next appointment probably makes or breaks our next 5 years.

In a normal season I'm pretty certain we'd have overturned Lyon tonight. Not 100% but Lyon are a very mediocre side for this level, we've turned over better teams before. Home fans behind us and many players in at least some kind of decent shape. But I'm also pretty certain that we would have...

I don't think finishing 8th is a fair reflection of the squad he had, although it was definitely the start of the process after they had lost Gerrard, Suarez and Sterling. But Liverpool were not under any pressure to win the league, they had to reach the CL only. That's not the same as Sarri...

Liverpool had Benteke, Sturridge and Firmino in Klopp's first season. Origi started 15 games only. Benteke was a menace for Villa but he didn't suit Klopp's football.

Basically hipster coaches, not real tacticians. It also took Klopp a long time (and better players) to implement better balance to his play. Too often Liverpool were recklessly gung-ho. It took almost three full seasons to find a good balance. Adding van Dijk and Alisson helped significantly. I...

If I was following Arsenal it would be purely for entertainment reasons.

Yeah and once upon a time Sarri took over Napoli from Benitez and they had 82 points and 2nd instead of 63 points and 5th. Sometimes a coach settles quickly and other times not so much. We'll see over time how successful all these coaches will be. Pioli has had very limited success for his...
