It all goes to show that he is a weak manager. He makes the decision not the players, right or wrong. Pretending to storm of to the dressing room then turning back shows his weakness. Hope he stays.
Yeah I see all that. Heat of the moment and all that. He probably would have come off if they raised the board. They didn't. They just started shouting at each other. im not vindicating him. But I can 100% see why he wanted to stay on it was injury time in extra time.
Even if Abramovich decides to sell the club, he'll be selling to another multi-billionaire, possibly a royal family from the Middle East, which will mean the near-limitless financialdopingbacking provided by their government, along the lines of Citeh or PSG. The days when they spent more time in Division 2 than they did in Division 1 and Ken Bates bought the club for £1 are long gone, unfortunately.
I think it simply showed what everyone has known about that squad. The players run things, not the managers. Kepa not coming off in the end was ridiculous. Have an argument afterwards in the dressing room privately, don't have one out on worldwide television. What made it worse was Kepa's wink to the camera after extra time. He knew he was faking injury to waste time, and it even fooled his own manager.The most interesting thing about the whole incident was Sarri walking off down the tunnel. What exactly was he thinking ?
Imo
1. I can’t deal with this ( as in the pressure got to him) like you’d run away from a situation as a kid you couldn’t face.
2. He just thought this is bollox the last straw I’ve had enough.
Either way it shows he’s incredibly weak mentally and very vulnerable. You couldn’t for a second imagine another top manager acting that way in that situation.
Kepa will be starting on WednesdayHe went against the wish of his manager which is inexcusable, but if it genuinely was because Sarri thought he was injured I can kind of understand it. If it was tactical then the guy is a disgrace and shouldnt play for them again. Either way, if he isnt dropped for Weds then it shows Sarri to be massively undermined and weak. He will be lucky to survive the week, let alone the season if we beat them

That’s amazing. The rule needs changing then if you ask me.

The best thing about this is if their transfer ban is quickly upheld then they won't be able to splash out and replace him!

Just to point out that Caballero was warming up before Kepos second bout of cramp, I am sure the intention was to sub him purely for the pens, in which case Sarri has lost all authority.
The commentators were going on about him coming on after extra time and I am pretty sure you can't put a sub on after the game has finished, otherwise teams would put penalty takers sitting on the bench on
