I hope Kepa enjoys playing in the youth team until Sarri gets sacked?? Cause he won't be near the 1st team ever again as long as Sarri is there. Fancy screwing your manager so hard in front of all those people and then harbour bridging Aguero's penalty for the loss.

I reckon Azpi is one the main instigators of the "players are bigger than the club" mentality at Chelsea. Sell him and anyone who follows him. Build a team around Sarri ball and actually start competing with city again.
So Sarri gone very very soon it seems.
Nah your 100% wrong on Azpi. Only thing wrong with him is he isnt a captain
Are you buying the story stanny?
That Sarri thought he was injured, wanted to bring him off, Kepa trying to communicate that he wasn’t injured.
On a side note: this seems to be an increasing tactic. Bring a keeper on before the pens.
Is the tactic just that they think they are better at pens? Or do they brief the substitute about the preferred locations for a few minutes and deem that better than the now common gestures from the bench?
It’s even more complicated now for kickers with all the stats out there about your preferred spots etc. it’s like a double triple
Bluff now.
Well he was captain today, so I'm not wrong.
I've got no issue with specialist keepers. Caballero has done it before and City would have been more worried if he had come on given his history as a penalty stopper. Sarri was making a great decision subbing off an injured keeper for a specialist penalty stopper.
Keepers already have cheat sheets for penalty takers favoured locations. But as Kepa showed (Aguero scored against him in the exact same spot 2 weeks ago) it doesn't help if you can't keep properly.
Nah I dont
Well you are Azpi is the most humble guy in our team after Kante, he just isnt captain material despite being given the armband
just saw the footage.
Poor Roman gotta back Sarri here over the keeper.
its one thing for Kepa to wave off Sarri, but to wave off Zola? oh man thats some next level stupidity there.
Proper Chelsea fans not having that sort of disrespect.
You admit we have proper fans? Are you unwell?
That's an act from Azpi. He spits vile at any ref who goes against him and I wouldn't be surprised if he is found out to be one of the instigators of the "coach out" brigade. Plus he seems like a massive dixkhead whenever he's played against us.
Also, Giroud is the most humble guy in your team. A striker who cares more about the team winning then scoring goals. Says a lot that he kept Benzema, Lacazette's, Fekir and Martial out of the team at the world cup but scored 0 goals.
Sorry, meant to say 'proper' in a sarcastic tone as all EPL fans are 'proper' fans, well 'ard, stick a bleeding boot in for the shirt etc etc etc
And yes, I'm unwell, havent you worked that out by now Stanny?
Not sure you even know who Azpi is after those comments mate.
after seeing the ref go over to Sarri and talk to him it got me thinking what the rules state in such a situation.
because it looks like Sarri essentially says to leave Kepa on and get on with it. The ref waves his arms as if to say 'no decision' and calls for the play to continue.
the rules state that if a player doesnt want to go off, then its play on. no matter what the coach says, or whether the board is in the air and the player even begins to walk off. if he gets to the line and decides to stay on then the game keeps going.
am wondering if the ref said to Sarri, if he aint coming off then its game on at which stage Sarri just walked off knowing he 'couldnt' do anything.
so it actually cant be seen as Sarri backing down, theres technically nothing he can do.
now, what Sarri 'can' do is blast that petulant little shit into the sun once hes off the field. will be interesting to see how much 'backing down' is done now.
I would imagine if the coach said we're bringing a different keeper on for pens, that the goalkeeper coach would spend the next five minutes reviewing the stats with the keeper before he went on. Seems like far more opportunity to prep for pens, which like you say is becoming more of an artform.
OK
So how tge **** does a goal keeper get cramp ??
How the **** does a keeper get cramp that bad and the coach wants to sub him off??
These are 2 baffling questions

Punished 1 weeks salary (donated to Chelsea Foundation).
Hope he is still dropped for a bit
Gee I hope when they sack Sarri that Roman goes cap in hand and gets Jose in to clean house
Be a cettain level of symmetry if he found his way back to Chelsea
