Have to admit.......................

Got very sloppy in the 2nd half. They did manage to knock out Sevilla tbf.

Something in Sarri's management style isn't working. We have a tendency to switch off way too easily, not SarriBall related, general commitment related.

It's not a knock on him per say though it sounds like one, it actually reminds me of Ancelotti's teams. All of them have this streak of complacency in them, we most certainly did, that can strike at any time and can last from a 45 minute half (Milan 05 CL final) to half an entire season.

The way we keep switching off in second halves isn't normal, something's off and it's Sarri's responsibility.

Have got to agree DA,the buck stops with him,it's what he's paid a lot of money for.

Also I feel that he's not getting enough from the senior players,they should show more responsibility and maturity ,ie Dave and Luiz.

But as I said, lets hope the guys are starting to realise ,after all, they are professionals.

I'm just hoping that Rudi carries on and developes into the black JT, this is what we need.

Second that. Rudiger's been brilliant this season. Developing some real crowd favorite traits.

Shaky as his partnership with Luiz can be at times, personality wise they're a fascinating duo - one's all laid back playing the joker and the others nothing but intensity.

And then there's Christensen .... nothing against his game, I still think he's got the potential to be one of the best CB's of his generation, been neglected far worse than the likes of RLC & CHO because he's actually done something in his career to date...... but personality wise (on a football pitch) comes against a bit bland doesn't he?
