I don't think the board have the balls to back their coach over the players . We'll see more with the signings they make . He wants Higuain and Paredes , let's see who they get him .

I've just read the full quotations from the post match press conference . To say he was scathing would be and understatement. One of the was along the lines of " I realise we are not a side with battling qualities but we should be able to adapt ". This will not end well for him .

They're decimated by injury , that alone should keep the score down.

It's funny isn't it ? Conte used counter attacking and it's become a by word for unfashionable play derided as anti football by the purists but we're expected to get excited about possession stats and no shots on goal . Dont get me wrong the last half of Contes last season was desperate but we're not pulling up any trees now are we ? Sarri is at the end of his rope with the players . It's the beginning of the end for him now , they'll eat him alive. Who's flavour of the month at the moment in the world of management ? Bielsa ? We'll employ him and he'll get a season ban for spying and we'll get a FIFA ban from signing anyone after Hazard , CHO, Cahill , Pedro , Willian and Luis are let go .

Sarri has just brought out an interpreter to ensure his message came over properly. He said he was angry and that our attitude was wrong from the beginning of the match and that he thought they were over it by now . He's obviously lost the dressing room , they don't give a **** what he wants , they're doing what they want , and what they want is to take the money and run.

At one point in the second half I'm sure Leno was worried enough to put his newspaper down.

sThere hasn't been a single player in our club who has earned their wages this evening , every one on them has been sub par other than Kepa . Sarri is clueless , you can have whatever philosophy you like but if your team can't defend and you can't score goals you deserve the sack . He's chosen Jorginho over Cesc , he was wrong . He's chosen Hazard as a false nine , he was wrong He's curbed any attacking instinct Barkley has and was wrong He's left Giroud and Morata with no doubt where they stand in the club and he's wrong He's playing Kante and Hazard in positions and with roles they are uncomfortable with and was wrong . He's inhibited Alonsos freedom to get forward by changing a proven formation to another proven not to work and was wrong . He's persisted with Willian who's been stealing a living and was wrong He's failed to properly incorporate the fringe players into the squad and was wrong He's failed to incorporate youth into the side and now our best one is leaving an he's wrong . He's got to go .

CHO coming on to wave goodbye

The Zen like calm that comes with the knowledge that we could have 100% possession and we wouldn't score .

Oh dear . I bet they can't believe how easy it's been .

Or working in Camden.

Taylor missed a trick there , he could have sent off Alonso for nothing there.

Another offside wrongly not given , they're bent .

Nope , they buy who they want and that's why we're in the state we're in.
