The season is almost over and this is still a thing????
Only dumb people still can’t figure this out. No matter which players we have in the squad, Kante will NEVER play in the hole in Sarri’s system. The hole is not for the defensive minded player. With his system emphasizing retaining possession, that player would be useless there. Kante is more useful in the opponent’s half winning back the ball.
Pirlo played in the hole for over a decade, with the more defensive midfielder ahead of him and this is still confusing for people???
As for Jorginho, he has been decent. Could be better, but I will cut him some slack bcos this is his first season in England. Plus, he would have better “stats” if we had a good to great striker.
Read my post carefully because everything you're saying doesn't pertain to what I'm saying LMAO!
The exam question was "Which EPL team remaining in champs league/euro league is under the most pressure??"
My answer is Chelsea because "x, y, z..."
I agree with you wholeheartedly "Kante will NEVER play in the hole in Sarri's system", BUT..... I don't give a shit and that has nothing to do with what I'm stating which are objective facts.
"The season is almost over and this is still a thing????"
As long as SARRI is under pressure, then his tactical decisions and squad selection will always come into question (it's no different for any manager lol). No one questions anything when a team's winning, the same way no one is over critical of the technique of the penalty taker as long as it goes in.
Again going back to the original question at hand and to further expound, IF Chelsea do not finish in the top 4 or win the Europa league (which is really a gateway to the top 4 for all intent and purposes), then Sarri's debut season will be evaluated and YES the Kante/Jorginho will be called into question when the season is not almost over but OVER period.
Or are you telling me that it won't under the circumstances that I laid out for you?????
