VAR disallows Kun Aguero goal. I can only surmise it’s for his fat arse?

VAR didn’t disallow the goal, the assistant referee did. VAR just didn’t overrule his decision.

City are better in almost every position than Chelsea but Hazard and Kante are simply world class. Got to hand it to Sarri it’s been a great performance from Chelsea.

When VAR comes in to the PL linesmen will be reluctant to give very tight offside decisions but instead leave it to a VAR review.

In cricket nowadays umpires never give a run out or stumped decision, even if they are a yard short of the crease, but instead refer everything to the third umpire.

Shocking from Sarri, allowing the player to overrule him.

More like shocking from the keeper. Disgraceful.

That keeper should never play for Chelsea again, how dare he defy his manager in such a way.

If I was Sarri I’d have dragged the ****** off by the ear.

Agree, should never play for them again

Watching a foreign stream, so not fully sure of what was happening, but it looked like the keeper refused to be subbed and Sarri got really angry, but allowed it to happen. Sub keeper, Caballero didn't know what the hell was going on.

If Chelsea lose this penalty shoot out Arrisagalapillockywotsit should never play for them again.

Quick, get on the blower to Sarri and offer him Joe Hart...

The manager makes the decisions. Do you think Mourinho would’ve accepted this. When does a player ever want to be substituted? It’s the manager who has final say.

He did make the decision. But he was totally undermined. Sarri did nothing wrong at all.

Precisely what happened aye. Weak from the manager.

Arrizabalaga is an embarrassment to his club. Is this the worse case of player power? Another Chelsea manager surely on his way out.

What do you expect Sarri to do when the keeper so blatantly defies his instruction.

Short of manhandling him off, not sure what you wanted from him there.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Feb 24, 2019 7:11 pm

It will all end in tears - that was the most disgraceful thing that I have ever seen in
a game of football, and I've seen some things in my 60 years of being a fan.

Short of physically dragging the two hat off, there was nothing that he could have done.
The discipline will come in the changing room where it belongs.

As I said it’s not all on him. Captain has to act as the enforcer. Ditto the ref if he has the authority. But Sarri clearly doesn’t have such a commanding presence.

Yep. Can you imagine our keeper defying Dyche like that. It’s not just about the personality of the players, a good manager exerts authority and the player will not argue.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun Feb 24, 2019 7:22 pm

Next week when the **** is dropped is he going to get kitted out and run on in goal regardless?

It’s nothing to do with the commanding presence of the manager and everything to do with the player being a totally arrogant, selfish individual.

Sarri cant allow it happen. He makes the subs. In that situation he cannot just be forced to accept it. Lack of authority.

If ever an incident summed up a football club, that was surely it. Like a chavvy family having a blazing row in a restaurant. Totally classless. I actually think I hate Chelsea more than Blackburn.

Never seen anything like that in all my years playing/watching football.
Puts 'Player Power' to a whole new level.

Haha
Can you ever imagine a player trying to do that to Stan?

Can't see Kepa starting another game for Chelsea while Sarri is manager.

So he'll be in goal against Spurs on Wednesday.

It looked to me as though Moss went to ask Sarri what he wanted. Used Zola as an interpreter and then didn’t get the outcome he wanted. That was when he stormed off to the tunnel.
The rest of the season in the stiffs should teach him but with Chelskis player power Sarri hasn’t got a prayer.

I think a quite plausible scenario is that Kepa just thought he was coming off due to injury.

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Sun Feb 24, 2019 7:38 pm

There is something seriously wrong at Chelsea. I think Kepa’s response highlights the culture amongst a squad who clearly have no respect for the manager, past and present. As others have said, a senior player should have been across to tell him to get off. It was like watching a petulant teenage cricketer refuse to leave the field after being given out because he thinks he’s better than everyone else.

I've seen some on here say Dyche has lost the dressing room at various times though.
