Episode 1391: Chelsea Routed, Sarri On The Brink, Sergio The Magnificent, Solskjaer For Keeps
Eoin questioned the wisdom of Maurizio Sarri berating his players in public a couple of weeks back – today he informs us that in their last 3 away games since he said those words, they’ve conceded 1.2% of their entire premier league goals against.
Eventually Chelsea will have to give a manager time, but is Sarri a manager they want to give time to? https://t.co/bUv8VYnGry

Dion Fanning and Jonathan Wilson are on hand to discuss just how doomed Sarri is, and whether the only thing saving him is Roman Abramovich’s new-found disinterest in the Chelsea project.
If Chelsea want what Man City have – sustained, sustainable success, a clear identity, an end to the boom and bust cycle – they’re going to have to not sack a manager at the first sign of trouble. (That may not save Sarri, though) https://t.co/Ah6i1LlQKg

Liverpool are looking increasingly bedraggled, but not to worry – they still lead Man City by 3 points and their big Premier League Prom Night is coming up in the middle of May, at which they can bask in the respect of their peers…
