I stand by my weird statement that he wasn't my preference to replace Conte, but I don't want him to be sacked.
I do fear that his stubbornness could become his own undoing.
Whilst I can see what he's trying to do in principle and I do remember Pep having the last laugh on us all when we slate him for being inflexible, I believe (based on previous history) Pep always knew he was safe to do as he's always done.
Whereas Sarri's position is far from safe.
Pep had the CV and his bosses at City were also with him at Barca.
Simon Phillips has correctly (IMO) pointed out that the club is to blame and that's board, head coach and players that are to blame for how things are.
But a few things I think Sarri could have done differently:
Not continuously play the same underperforming players. Is there any motivation for a player who does not fear being dropped?
Stop the failing and predictable 'False 9'
And I think he got it wrong publicly calling out the players he's gonna undoubtedly play in 4 days time. Especially as he only took minimal blame himself.
Sarri

Who is Simon Phillips and what are his credentials for his supposed comments?

It appeared to be far from meaningless at Napoli.

Brummie you'll mock me here but he's one of the few on Twitter who's opinion I respect/trust. Simon Phillips I mean. I agree with the point the form etc is down to 3 factors.

Is Higuain on loan a done deal? He will make a huge difference you'd imagine and Sarri won't have to play Hazard as a false nine.

We have two strikers already who have better goals/minutes ratio than Higuain already. A striker isn’t going to magically solve all our problems, more deficiencies in this yeam

Wouldn't mock you at all if you agree with him - Just I've never heard of him!
What's his claim to fame bye the way?

Chelsea supporting freelance journo. But in spite of others he doesn't claim to be an ITK.

A journo - well Flash, I never trust a Journo. After all they have to come up with something to print or their kids don't get fed.
If I read what a Journalist has penned, I know I could just be reading something he (or she) has come up with to line his own pockets.
You may have noticed I don't hold Journalists in high esteem!
