Sarri has to go. His obsession for Jorginho and refusal to bench Pedro. I'm not going to say you can't play a Regista in English football (see Michael Carrick), but man the guy is stubborn

I understand chelsea's trend of sabatoging managers for not winning every year but sarri has got to go on GP. He plays kante out of position and has this fukking weird old man love obsession for Jorginho.

In this system, it calls for a regista do really think Kante can play there? and Kante ain't even playing that bad in an advanced position

While Kante is the best DM in the world, when has he played in the middle of a 3 for more than 2 games? Leicester he was alongside Drinkwater, then with Chelsea he played next to one of Matic/Cesc/Baka. And then in the WC, he was alongside Pogba, where he screened when France attacked. In a 3, his game is more suited to being one of the side midfielders.

If Kante had Fernandinho level passing then yeah he should be playing at the base of the 3, but he doesn't.

Thank you, it's like dudes keep parroting tired narratives, I'm convinced they don't watch football or have never actually watched Kante at all
