Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri ‘reminds me of the dark times under Jose Mourinho’, Emmanuel Petit says

Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri ‘reminds me of the dark times under Jose Mourinho’, Emmanuel Petit says
Former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has compared the Blues’ current situation under Maurizio Sarri with the ‘dark times’ the club went through prior to the sacking of Jose Mourinho.Chelsea dropped out the Premier League top four at the weekend with Sunday’s 6-0 defeat by Manchester City – the Blues’ biggest loss in 28 years – their fourth away defeat in a row.Chelsea were embarrassed by a superb Manchester City on Sunday3
Chelsea were embarrassed by a superb Manchester City on Sunday
Sarri’s system is showing numerous flaws and his insistence on refusing to change anything has led to calls he should be sacked as he is not suitable for the job.The Italian is believed to retain the backing of the Chelsea board and many of his players, but given Arsenal and a resurgent Manchester United now sit ahead of them, the Blues face a real fight to qualify for next season’s Champions League by securing a top four finish.Sarri has shown over the past couple of months that the pressure of being in charge of the Stamford Bridge club may be getting to him, and Petit believes the former Napoli boss is ‘losing the plot’ – much in the same way Mourinho did before his second spell as Chelsea manager came to an end with his December 2015 sackingSpeaking tohttps://news.paddypower.com, Petit said: “I understand that a manager has to stick with his views and opinions, even sometimes against his own players’ thinking – because maybe he’s right – but I’m sure that Sarri is very nervous.Chelsea suffered a remarkable collapse before Mourinho was sacked3
Chelsea suffered a remarkable collapse before Mourinho was sacked
“His body language in a recent press conference showed this, as did what he did with Guardiola on Sunday [not shaking his hand].“Things like this shouldn’t happen, and when they do you show everyone – fans, journalists, players – that you’re losing the plot.“It reminds me a bit of the dark times under Jose Mourinho.Chelsea have a tough run of fixtures coming up with two clashes against Malmo in the Europa League either side of next Monday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie with Manchester United.The west Londoners then take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, before hosting Tottenham three days later as the Premier League returns. Getting through this run of matches with nothing but victories will be nigh-on impossible, and Petit suggests Sarri could lose his job with another bad result.“Over the last few games,” he continued, “I have seen some things on the pitch that makes me wonder why Sarri wants to keep going with his current approach.“Sarri said he is a strong man, that he has a vision for the team and will ignore the critics, especially in relation to Jorginho and N’Golo Kant.He said that he would stick to his guns.

  • CHELSEA vs Manchester City, Carabao Cup final (Sunday, February 24) – LIVE on talkSPORT
“I understand and I appreciate that – I respect it – but I think he has forgotten something very important: he doesn’t have to convince the press or the fans, he has to convince his players.And for the moment it’s difficult to believe his players are confident about the way they play and the way he wants them to play.“What I saw on Sunday against Manchester City said it all: poor performances individually and collectively; no rage on the pitch; the body language.“Sarri said himself he didn’t know whether or not he could motivate his team. In terms of communication, the last few weeks have been bad for him.What he did after the City game – not shaking Pep Guardiola’s hand – showed a lack of respect. So, I think he’s in big trouble mentally, and he’s in big trouble when it comes to showing his players he’s still the right man.Petit fears another defeat could spell the end for Sarri3
Petit fears another defeat could spell the end for Sarri
“Should Sarri be sacked right now?When Roman Abramovich feels the pressure like this, he doesn’t dwell on feelings, he just cuts down the tree.“He did it with Jose Mourinho and he did it with Antonio Conte after winning the Premier League, so he will have no emotion about doing the same with Sarri.“If the next result is a bad result, that could be the last game for him.”Emmanuel Petit is a Paddy Power ambassador.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren hopes Reds can go entire season unbeaten Arsenal did it, so why not?
Liverpool are hoping to become the new Invincibles and go unbeaten for the whole Premier League season, says defender Dejan Lovren.Jurgen Klopp’s side are the only unbeaten team in England’s top five divisions with 14 wins and three draws so far this term.Dejan Lovren and manager Jurgen Klopp are aiming to end Liverpool’s wait for a league title this season3
Dejan Lovren and manager Jurgen Klopp are aiming to end Liverpool’s wait for a league title this season
The Reds, gunning for their first league title since 1990, sit at the top of the table and can extend their lead over defending champions Manchester City by beating Wolves on Friday night.And World Cup finalist Lovren has indicated Liverpools new-found confidence, or has tempted fate, but saying Liverpool can emulate Arsenal’s famous ‘Invincibles’ side.Buoyed by Sunday’s victory over arch-rivals Manchester United, Lovren said ahead of the Wolves clash: “Hopefully we can be unbeaten until the end of the season.“Of course it will be a challenge but this is what we want, this is why we came here to Liverpool, because we know we can do it.“Arsenal did it before so why not?”Arsene Wengers 2003/04 Gunners side are one of only two English teams the other being Preston North End in 1889 to complete an entire league campaign without losing.Can Liverpool emulate Arsenal’s famous ‘Invincibles’ team?3
Can Liverpool emulate Arsenal’s famous ‘Invincibles’ team?
The once-dominant Liverpool, meanwhile, have not won a top-flight championship in 28 long years but appear to be best-placed in all departments to make a bid to end that run.They could extend their lead over title rivals Man City to four points with a win at Wolves on Friday to add an extra bit of pressure for Pep Guardiola’s chasers.However, Lovren knows their title rivals have few weaknesses and the outcome of the season will most likely come down to who makes the fewest mistakes.“I’m not sure that they have any weaknesses,” he added.“Last year they won by 19 points. They know how to manage even when they lose. They also lost one or two games last year and still they managed to be 19 points ahead.Liverpool are the only team still unbeaten in the Premier League this season3
Liverpool are the only team still unbeaten in the Premier League this season
“It doesn’t mean anything. There are so many games in front of us and in front of them. It will be a tight race and it’s not only City, Tottenham are only a few points behind.“You cannot sit and enjoy and say: ‘We are five or six points in front of everyone’. It doesn’t work like that. Every game for us is a final.“They won on Saturday so we had pressure (against United the following day).“It can be from both ways a positive thing. We will not look back, we will just look forward. “Look, there’s a competition. This is what we want, but we don’t look at who is in front of us or behind us. It’s just about us.“It’s more about how we train, how we do on the pitch and the result will come. There are quite a lot of games still to go but we go game-by-game.”
