Ive always said is the best

Thank god he did leave. Boring pointless football but in the mickey mouse cup final to out pass city and play it around the gk and defence with such confidence against a Pep side was impressive.

@@CheesestringXX Even more ‘boring pointless football’ under Potter and the results are 100 times worse…. There was nothing wrong with Sarri. As a personality he wasn’t dynamic (but neither is Potter), but he got results and in the end results is all that counts…. 👌

Hazard really carried us this season. Sarriball didn't change much, which is why teams found ways to nullify it by mid season. Season 2 would have had some rough results. Maybe that would have evolved Sarri into being less predictable, or he'd have been sacked by November. Who knows. If he came back now, maybe it'd be different because he's evolved with some more experience. Lazio is doing well. But, again, Italy is a slower league with lower fitness levels, so the analysts would have to do some work.

I always liked Sarri but the more I look back, I realise just how good he was. This was what you could actually call a project. Years of defensive football with Mourinho and Conte. 2 years before Sarri were always 3 at the back. Then Sarri came in and it was 433 possession football every week. We started the season strong and tailed off midway through before finishing fairy decently in the end. 3rd in the league with over 70 points. League cup runners up (deserved to win the final as well) and Europa league winners. Only team ever to win the Europa league unbeaten in every game. Only lost one league game at home all year. Knocked Liverpool out the league cup at anfield and should've beat them at home in the league a few days later. Ended city's invincible dreams and this was back when city and Liverpool were getting just under 100 points. All this and his team was poor. Hazard and Kante carried this team hard. This team was our worst in the Abramovich era imo. The year later was actually better with all the loaned players coming back like Abraham, Mount, Tomori and James. Sarri is also the only ever Chelsea manager to do two things. Seemingly lose the dressing room midway through the season but recover and get it back. And smash a team in a final. Seriously, when have Chelsea ever dominated a final like that and won by a 3 goal margin? Most underrated chelsea manager ever.

I don't

When in doubt, Pedro comes to the rescue

Both Pedro & Willian tbf. They weren't perfect, but showed effort, commitment, and never complained, something our current wingers are lacking

The same can be said about Alonso too

Pedro and William had cutting edge intelligence. This is what was missing in Abraham, and is missing in Sterling.

Don't worry sterling will cover the gap he Left and remember we won the champions league without him.we don't need him.wonder what his doing at Madrid by the way

@@uchizimhone3131 yep gotta say he was never the same since he left us. But still legend of our club no doubt 💙

He upgraded to a bigger club, can’t blame him

Garden of Eden, was too good for Chelsea, that's why Blues used him to cashed Madrid, since then Hazard is not the same😢 i do feel for him

@@uchizimhone3131 sterling cant finish

i think Chelsea had a record for most shots to woodwork or somet

Such a good player

led the league in posts hit that season

Dude was too good for Chelsea, playing like a Striker😊

@@jeffdon1155 He was a great finisher, but he's a fullback at the end of the day. He wasn't good at all playing LB, then towards the end of his Chelsea career; he wasn't really cutting it at LWB, which let him have more freedom on the wings, but his positional sense and lack of pace was starting to expose him when teams figured out to exploit that.

Alonso got displaced by Emerson at the tail end of Sarri’s tenure here. Emerson was performing extremely well-he, Ruben and Hazard had a good thing going. I do remember Sarri making a pretty rash remark about Alonso being the “best LB in the world” relatively early on though.

Was just saying it, "how pathetic it was for some Chelsea fans to roast and disrespect Alonso", but watching this clip and that of TT, I am convinced Alonso is a legend and has left a good legacy.

Sarri really build alonso

I agree, since Costa left we've been creating all the chances in the world but not been able to finish them

And now we cant create

Dude like real talk! Fuck Conte for that shit.

@@trevorkalege1170 BAM 😂😂😂😂😩😩

​@@trevorkalege1170 we can't score 😂

I'm a Chelsea fan since 1997...

I agree with you mate💯%

His laid back, free spirited attitude in general was very refreshing. It probably prevented him from reaching Messi/CR7 levels of consistency (which he could've if he really applied himself) but it was nice for a change seeing a player of his talent not being obsessed with winning the Ballon D'or or any of that stuff - just happy playing football in a city where he was settled. Obviously Real Madrid fans will strongly disagree with this, and I wouldn't blame them, but then again this wasn't exactly a secret about him (being a poor trainer, etc...) so live with it. Sometimes I do wonder to myself if he only joined Real because they were nagging him like a pest for four years & he just wanted to shut them up. LOL

Salah and Mane have already surpassed him. Did u hear of Zola? Spare us the hype. Hazard did his best but talent does not lie only in dribbling. It is easy for the team to be set up for u than playing as they team. I will always rank Mata ahead of Hazard. Mata assisted and scored in a depleted chelsea squad that led us to champions league and Europe. Hazard best dribbler in 2018? You are funny. Being talent mean u can play multiple positions and do well..Hazard fail in that aspect especially when Sarri converted him into the false nine position and he refused to cope. Dybrune, David Silver will always be ahead of him.

@@ismeea5360 salah and mane surpassed hazard??? Short memory put down the ganja my friend 🤦‍♂️😂

Exactyl my thought on Hazard. He really peaked this season. What a player :)

Yeah 14/15 was amazing but 18/19 the team wasn't as good yet he put them on his back and he carried us

Hazards last game against tottenham still gives me chills

I totally agreed. Give him a season or two and backed him up with a few players to compliment the system, Chelsea might able to implement the Sarriball to the maximum. I think the fans are being a little bit too harsh on him considering it's only his first season

But Sarri was not sacked by Chelsea it's Juventus that came for him then he left Chelsea..... Meanwhile he wouldn't have done that good without Garden of Eden😊

@@jeffdon1155 ... no one said he got sacked bro.

@@GardenDoctorTrev It wasn't just the media but also a hard core of supporters. Chelsea's transformation into a possession team did not go down well with fans brought up on direct crosses and traditional centre-forward play. The fact that Chelsea still play possession football and have been able to now win trophies as the better team speaks for itself. A complete overhaul by Sarri from the start which proves Abramovich's succeed or your fired approach motivated Chelsea managers to win.

Still baffles me why we sacked Ancelotti. Won the prem and fa cup in his first season, was the first team to score 100 goals in the prem and finished 2nd in his 2nd season.

And to add, if we didn't have Hazard we wouldn't have won anything and prob finished outside top 6

it was not a sacking, he left when juve came

@@suraj4412 oh yeah ur right

Sarri was not sacked by Chelsea ,he left when Juventus came calling.

And we finished 3rd also didn't we

now he just a flop 😂🤣

@@harris3512 flop like ur mum

@@harris3512very sad😂😂

We can see what he's doing in Lazio now

He re introduce David luiz to squad

That squad was pretty stacked,,,,

Yes

Real Fact👍,,,, Tuchel is very tactical i Love his game😊

Tuchel will quench their fire no cap

TT would have played hazard at back 2

I blame Jorginho for that. We look way better when he isn't playing.

@@axlcinema I agree, Jorginho always reminds me of a player on fifa when you don't press the sprint button. He's slow asf

Hakim Ziyech used to score outside the box than any other Chelsea player.

its about the structure, we have ageing cb in thiago silva and non winning ball midfielder. the player can shoot out of box, but once chelsea lost the ball possesion, they will exposed to quick transition counter attack.

Playing him with CuCu he can't even get a chance! Let Potter leave this Talented team!

@@geedisvr2637 he wasn’t tracking back to help Cucu. Cucu found him alone vs Coufal and Bowen. That’s my only reason why

rlc as well

Same, but it's important to remember how we beat Arsenal more than once under him. Dominated the Europa Final

@@HonestPerson96 Beating Arsenal is nothing special for the last decade. Probably this season.

We won the EUROPA League unbeaten and finished 3rd too. How about that for his first season

​@@thebluescaptaindo you think its easy to change gamestyle from defensive minded to posession minded. Chelsea known as park the bus team since our first ucl winning. Look at graham potter that also has same mission to change our style of play it ended horrible.

For me the team became wayy better with tuchel and now with potter. Sarri team was so inconsistent , also the squad was very irregular , great players and awful players in the same team

I agree-I was almost certain Odoi and Ruben would be world class in this season. Their respective injuries ruined it all.

Good manager in the right place at the wrong time. Going from Mourinho to Conte to him was gunna be a hard sell if it didn't work immediately. The live crowds would've been more receptive to him now, and we'd be playing better football too.

I think Sarris our best ever manager that didn't win a prem or champions league. If he was here now the fans would show more patience.

@@nicolasgarcia2690 Potter has been so bad with Chelsea, probably 100 times worse than every manager that took in

Isn't individual brilliance supposed to bring about unpredictability?

@@israelagbeja9348 I meant our tactics ,playing style

@@arkysonlaitthma726 Under Sarri they scored 112 goals in a season. More goals then Mourinho, Conte and Tuchel’s era. Are you sure they were predictable?

Bruh to think we sold him for Cucurella 😢

@@kushmanbillick328 😂😂

Hazard hold onto the ball too much.

Torres at Chelsea was more good than many people believe . More than goals he made a lot of assist and very good plays. The truth is that from his knee ingiury he wasn't the same. Was his choice and was the price that he paid to refuse fix the problem to go to the WC10.

You are watching just goals and making judgement out of it,go and watch Luiz and Kepa for that season

Most blunders were from wingbacks and Rudigar

Exactly

😂

I remembered sarri staring at his 1st medal you can see it meant a lot to him.

Morata scored more goals than timo Werner..

@@GardenDoctorTrevthey should have given him enough time he will improve surely just like benzema at Real Madrid first
