They were a lot better first half of the season than after January when their away form was abysmal yet they ended up actually finishing a place higher due to Spurs totally collapsing in the league in the run in. 3rd was pretty flattering in the end but they wouldn't care about that. League cup final v Man. City was arguably their best performance of the season so no criticism there. Disappointing in FA cup against Man. United. Europa league win saved the perception although of course Benitez won that a few years back and was still hounded out of Chelsea by the fanbase. From little bits and pieces I don't think their fans ever really took to Sarri (remember the chants of f*** Sarriball) so he clearly took the hint and pretty much decided to get out of there once he heard Juve might be interested (and for pretty much all Italians that's the dream job). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the type of football they play, defensive and restrictive, I actually think it's a good fit. They only really want to stay up in the championship so he should comfortably achieve that.

Not everything is a conspiracy. I didn't read it as a conspiracy theory, just a statement of fact. Lampard gets an easy ride from the London papers (he did as a player, and he did at Derby). Sarri was never in a position to do what Lampard is doing now, because pre-Lampard, Chelsea were a results club, demanding immediate success. Lampard is fortunate that he has the goodwill within the club and outside the club to try and build a project long-term. Great player, has all the attributes to be a great manager, and I hope he does well. But disagree that the Lampard / London media love-in is a conspiracy theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of their fans hated him for persisting with playing Kante out of position for so long. That's certainly what all the ones I know moaned about.
