2 things were coming loud and clear.....................
He's still a Chelsea man. For which he eventually got pulled up for
And secondly he believes past Chelsea Managers have had no interest in promoting from within.
It's only a small sample we have to work with so far, but which route do you think Sarri is going to take?
I know i'm being picky but i think the last 3 games were opportunities missed.
On Sunday i would have had CHO on the bench as at least. Especially in the absence of Pedro. He'd have been something different and somewhat (in spite of the summer) an unknown quantity that may have worked in our favour.
Last Thursday, as my original thread stated was IMO a massive missed opportunity.
And then last night i get the final substitution forced the issue, i was disappointed Ampadu had not made the bench at the least.
I now find myself hoping we get some really garbage team in the next round purely to get the younger players a game. But then that'd prove nothing as we'd be expected to win.
I get there are going to be lots of opportunities to play the younger players as the season goes on. But on the small sample we have, so far it's not looking too promising for this season.

Ampadu not even on the bench.......jeez why did Sarri block a loan move to rams if he won’t even have in the squad for the weakest cup competition.
Just look at Mount, thriving with us, getting lots of game time and even been looked at by Southgate.
Poor form that from Sarri.

Yesterday’s game was against a good Pool team tbf, But Ampadu and Hudson should have been involved against a poor side in the Europa league.

In all honesty Flash, I'm just glad to be winning consistently and playing some good football to boot !. I am also sure that the young guys will be given a chance when Sarri is more comfortable with his squad,and also himself !,after all he has still only been here just over a couple of months.
Well done Maurizio ,we're right behind you .

Sarri will pick the route that best enable his brand of football. Age regardless, if a player fits the style he'll play (e.g. Barkley) if he doesn't he won't (e.g. Loftus-Cheek), it's that simple.
There were positives and negatives from taking the decision to appoint Sarri, one of the negatives was youth integration wouldn't be on the agenda - if it happens it'll be consequential.

If we had had a full preseason with Sarri here then I would be worried. The fact we had maybe 2 weeks means I am hoping we will see some changes re Mickey mouse\euro cups come mid October/ November. If after that and nothing then the youngsters should worry.

How does RLC not fit Sarri's style of play whrn he has not even played much for Sarri as a Chelsea player.

Sarri needs to learn how to rotate and should trust the younger players to be involved in lesser competitions. They are at a stage of their development that they need minutes to progress in their careers
---------------------------------------------
It isn't a necessity for Ampadu and Hudson Odoi (yet), they are already further ahead than most people at that age by being a fulltime member of the first team squad.

I will reserve judgement on Sarri's youth policy until the middle of next season.
Judging by the results of the Napoli youth side, not even the most pro youth coach would have played them

Bellamy summed it up really. These coaches aren’t going to be at the club long enough to risk projects on youth players so need players they know, and trust, and ready made ones. Just how it is at the top clubs.
