You can’t sell a squad.
But you can sack a manager, who, since having his system worked out, and why it took so long is beyond me, continues to play the same starting eleven, as often as possible.

The club gave him Jorginho, Sarri continues to play him. Because of that, we have lost Fabregas, the one creative midfielder in the squad.

He continues to play Alonso, because, as he said, he can be dangerous at set pieces. He is shit.

He continues to play Luiz, who is a defensive liability, but can hit precision 50/60 yard passes.

He continues to play the best defensive midfielder, in the world, as an attacking right sided midfielder/ winger. Why, what logical reason is there?

He continues to play both Willian and Pedro when it is clear their best days are behind them, they both try, but that’s about it.

He continues to leave a centre forward out of the team, to play Hazard as a false nine. That is just so wrong.

Yesterday, he picked the wrong players and system, to play against Arsenal. He is unable to be flexible.
Needing three goals in the second half, he inexcusably made no changes. When he did make a change, we were still two down, after the 60th minute, and he sent on Barkley to replace Kovacic.

So yes, you can criticise the players if you want, but to say it is not the manager’s fault, is wrong.
