talkSPORT presenter Andy Jacobs slams Chelsea and Maurizio Sarri after Arsenal loss, calling the club ‘absolutely hopeless’
talkSPORT’s Andy Jacobs has blasted the “absolutely hopeless” Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri following their dismal defeat at Arsenal on Saturday.The Blues were beaten 2-0 thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny in a game where Arsenal were comfortably the better side.3

This was Chelsea’s fourth Premier League defeat of the season

After the match, Sarri launched an astonishing attack on his players’ mentality.But Chelsea fan Jacobs hit back at the Italian, suggesting his team selection was chiefly to blame for the loss – with Eden Hazard playing in a false nine position while defensive midfielder N’golo Kante has been started in a more advanced role throughout the season.On Monday’s Hawksbee and Jacobs, Andy ranted: “Theyre hopeless. Absolutely hopeless. “Having a go at the players is something else and it really is brilliant when it is YOUR [Sarri’s] fault basically. Youre wasting these players, youre wasting the best player in your league.“And when you do that and blame somebody else for it then its quite staggering!”Playing Hazard in a false nine role has been a tactic Sarri has tried often as it worked quite well when it was first attempted during Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City last month.3

Andy is baffled by Sarri’s insistence on playing talisman Hazard in a false nine role

However, future games have seen games pass the Belgian by and Andy urged Sarri to start playing an out-and-out striker to allow Hazard more freedom on the pitch.He added: “It was a pretty abject performance but its no different to the performances weve seen under Sarri with a false nine.“Although Olivier Giroud is not the answer you saw from the minute he was on Hazard was free and Chelsea looked better.”But Andy wasn’t done there. He then had a go at Sarri for his decision to bring on Ross Barkley for Mateo Kovacic as his first substitution even though Chelsea were chasing a two-goal deficit.

"They are absolutely hopeless.""Sarri is wasting the best player in the league.""Chelsea are the worst run top club in Europe… everything about it is a disaster." You have to hear Andy Jacobs's incredible rant about #CFC. pic.twitter.com/clTqjKwoOc— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 21, 2019

Andy also went on to say Chelsea were the “worst-run top club in Europe. ”He added: “Hes [Sarri] an inflexible typical Italian manager whos the Professor of Possession at the University of No End-Product. Its pitiful and a kind of madness not to see whats staring at you in the face. Everyone else can see it.“Even if he played Pedro there [false nine] it would be better than playing Hazard there. It doesnt work!“Jorginho has been chronic for weeks but thats partly because hes not used to playing in the intensity of this league.3

Andy suggested Jorginho could be replaced by David Luiz in defensive midfield

So you think if youre such a great tactician why dont you find a way of freeing this player up?Willian has been awful all season. Hes awful so why keep picking him?Why not play David Luiz in midfield and play Christensen, whos dying for a game, in defence?Its the worst-run top club in Europe. Its not just the manager the board, the transfer policy, the way they do business, everything about it.”
