Sarri

[Pedro de la Rosa]

He's not all that good is he, and besides that Ampadu's development is going backwards. Out of all the clubs, Chelsea are the worst possible choice for a young player.

Maybe, just maybe he doesn't think the Sun shines out of Ampadu's arse. As HG has said, Sarri has developed lots of players, he's a good coach. He's proved that pretty much everywhere he's been. Ampadu has about 20 career appearances, he's not going to force himself into the side with that when most are in League 2 or international friendlies. I'm basically echoing HG but the way we treat young players is broken, and if Sarri plays a load of kids, they make mistakes and lose, he's the one that has to carry the can for it, not the young lads.

It was a young kid named Brooks who neutralised Jorghino, and showed the world how easy it was to nullify Sarriball

Sarriball? His coaching made strikers like Higuain and Mertens play better than they ever have before and, arguably, since while he built a reputation for developing players rather than buying talent. He also probably has had a bigger challenge this year than Jose/Ole (clearly a more talented squad) and Emery (less of a tactical transition) having come in after Conte who played 3-5-2 and system rather than individual talent won games. But yes, one negative thing that seems to stand out is that he has no reputation, as far as I'm aware, of winning titles.

The entire Sarriball system is build around Jorginho, so what's the next move? How do you solve the problem of the opposition No.10 disrupting play? He was great when he received the ball in space, and made hundreds of passes every game.
