Old old identity to be so daring and counter-attack. Dread 3rd spell of Mou.

However Sarri loses it, blatant disrespect by Kepa. Anybody wanna go #SarriOut?

counter attack has always been chelsea trademark...

on a side note, morata scored the 1st goal for atletico madrid last night

yep, if its really just a misunderstanding, the moment you see your manager + coaching staff going apeshit asking u come off from the sideline, you should at least go towards the manager and talk to him and sort it out. instead of the manager shouting at u to go off, and you shout back waving your finger.

i don't trust the entire "misunderstanding" bollocks.
both kepa + sarri punya reaction doesnt look like "misunderstanding" at all.
either sarri has totally lost the dressing room or kepa ego bigger than jomo undermines sarri's instruction.

both of them will still be in the club for at least another 2 seasons because of the transfer ban thingie. i don't foresee that woman will fire sarri. it will only backfired on her sampah appointment on sarri at the first place. instead, that woman should go.

cant. she is the most powerful being at Chelsea right now, especially with Roman having political and legal troubles.

More than 10 years watch penalty, Jorginho penalty style is the worst i even seen after Simone Zaza

it is misunderstanding.. sarri think he was in charge

early on it might be misunderstanding but sarri antic clearly should make kepa understand

some gk are better penalty stopper i guess. coz before this Netherlands change their GK just for shoot out and they won. last i remember he was playing for Newcastle. not all gk can be sweeper gk. some can read body language & have better judgement on where would taker shoot.

Sarri going nowhere

'
Caballero, of course, used to play for Manchester City. He's a quality penalty kick stopper, he knows the other players and their tendencies well, and yet he didn't get his chance. City went on to beat Chelsea in the shootout, 4-3, with Kepa saving one and blowing another save he looked to surely have.

As to whether it had an impact, it's is hard to tell. We can't really attribute the failed save on Sergio Aguero to him being injured, and there is no guarantee that if Caballero were to have played that Chelsea would have won'

sos

Why didn't Sarri sub him out before the penalty shootout commenced? If he didn't want to be subbed during regulation time, he can still be subbed before the shootout no?

i think kepa expected the match will enter penalty shootout...he didn't wanna give way to caballero ?

What I meant was Sarri still had a chance to sub him out while awaiting the penalty kicks right? When regulation time ended and all the players come off the field, a player change is still allowed, no?

Dreading watching the replays of the incident. Sigh. I believe this is the first time something like this has happened in the roman era? Heck not even the much maligned AVB and scolari had their authority blatantly challenged in the open like that.

Have to keep things in perspective though, kepa is still considered 'youngish' in terms of footballing age and it really was a rush of blood (albeit the stupid kind) to his head and the adrenaline got the best of him. He's going to look back at this one day and realise how stupid it was. But for those of you calling for our most expensive signing to be sold, I don't think there's any chance of that happening. You new fans want an example of an ex-player who truly let his unprofessionalsm ruin his club career? Go look up adrian mutu at chelsea.

Of course the media will have you believe this is the worst thing a CFC player has done in the history of football and yes I expect the older fans to know better.

I know many of us have been sarri out at various points in the second half of the season, but this incident should not contribute towards that. If anything I respect the gaffer for managing to compose himself before facing the cameras and playing down the incident. You're deluded if you believe someone like jose or even conte would do the same, and I think sarri handled himself well and will deal with kepa properly behind closed doors. No point giving the media more ammunition, they already have enough of it.

Now If we can just get one over spurs in midweek, the mood in the dressing room will be transformed and things will look up again.

my bad, I checked the rules

A goalkeeper who is unable to continue before or during the kicks may be replaced by a player excluded to equalise the number of players or, if their team has not used its maximum permitted number of substitutes, a named substitute, but the replaced goalkeeper takes no further part and may not take a kick

i demand same approach vs spurs, with kepa out, emerson, cho and rlc in
but i know it wont happened

I admit we've been 'teased' a few times already this season on sarri's supposed willingness to change. I'd be fine with at least three of those, mainly caballero, cho, and RLC, as emerson did play the full 120 minutes and took a pen. Sarri's justification would be tiredness and although it annoys me that we don't have any other option, alonso will most probably start.

But just like you, I'm not going to get my hopes up

read an article, which made me think, how come ur kapitan Azpi didn't do anything during the kepa/sarri debacle? kasi lempang at that lansi young gk, teach him a thing or do bout lespek etc.

Kepa since 70mins, looks in trouble, injured on his left knee..
Few time need to receive treament..

So in the extra time, kepa looks struggling and grimacing..
Dont know he pretending or not..

But that the main reason sarri immediately want to change the GK..

Don't have leaders like we used to. Azpi mcm don't want get involved. I think he said he was on the other side of the pitch so didn't know what was happening or smtg. David Luiz show more leadership skills by scolding Kepa but sometimes this feller also lose his head easily so can't be relied on either
