This current crop of Chelsea superstars have been up and down for the duration of their contracts. We had one great run of victories during Conte's first season resulting in a title but that apart it's been littered with substandard erratic shows. It can't all be down to the managers so I feel it's time a manager was backed to do a job.

I'm not saying Sarri couldn't do more than he does but me calling for a striker to start (for example) is just an opinion. I'm not at Cobham or elsewhere with other detail in hand. I just feel calling for a man to be sacked when his team sits 4th from the top and still in the cups is unfair. Whether or not he has flopped remains to be seen.

We have a squad full of players with a cup competition mentality and one way to change that is to stick by a manager over a few years. This is possibly why Jose fails over 2/3 seasons because people never let it play out. Such is football 2019. Over the years I'm guilty of thinking I know better.
