Who could blame him!?!

Clearly got little respect in the dressing room (or at least parts of it)

Keeper should be finished.

He'd been backing Money Tree's tips on the *****platignum betting service***** thread, and was just checking how his bets had got on

pretty much the standard reaction of anyone that follows a Money Tree tip

they won ffs.

Goalkeeper was disrespectful to the management team. That needs to be taken further by the club and some type of disciplinary action required from their HR dept.
|

By:
Captain should be stronger there.
Should have dragged the little **** off. He could have thrown his cap on Aguero's pen too. |

By:
Typical Chelsea. No class.

I thought he went for a cheeky smoke.
Poor guy....got a tune out of the team today and then that. Unlucky with the Hazard offside call. |

By:
Dressing room is ****.
Bodes well for a club wit a transfer ban. |

Has he not heard of Uber.

shudda went and knocked the fcuker out then phoned Uber........

By:
the other players have to take responsibility as well. They have created this toxic "Phuk the manager" culture. So they can't complain, imo.

By:
PMSL, at this interview. Has basically backtracked on the whole thing and has admitted that the keeper didn't have cramp to begin with....

the keeper was a drama queen settling for pens,but went to far and bench believed he was injured so wanted to sub him,he wasn't get subbed because of some tactical masterplan to get cab on
|

By:
Gotta go after that
A little runt gives you the middle finger like that its over ![]() |
|
By:
They need someone who will go in and play the whole every hates us
Get them onside by saying the media hates me and them Sarri is never going to win them round he's to much of an old school professor type |
|
By:
Surely once Chelsea hand the piece of paper to the 4th official with the substitution details, then the keeper has to leave the pitch? I didn't think the decision could be changed after that. If he refuses, then either his team mates drag him off and if he still won't go then the ref sends him off. I don't like City but I was willing them to win the shoot out just to expose the idiotic keeper. I hope he doesn't play for the club again but I fear that Sarri will lose out, not the keeper.

By:
Maybe the 'misunderstanding' was scripted by the PR team hmmmm

By:
Chelsea fans should be livid with the whole dressing room - time and again if certain elements in that dressing room (whichever clique is annoyed with whatever perfectly reasonable decision the manger has just taken) don't like the regime they pull hissy fits, disrespecting the manger, the club and the fans. Whomever the captain was yesterday should be ashamed of himself as should all senior players who stood by and did nothing. Coupled with past history and performances like the 6-0 the dressing room is clearly unmanageable as it is and whomever the next manger is he should sell every single one of them and start agin as the rotting sores will only get worse and worse. Most Chelsea fans won't give a sheet though and will already be talking about who the next manger of this bunch of rrsoles will be!

|
By:
I'm a little perplexed really with the media overreaction to the whole 'incident'
it certainly isn't unprecedented for a new manager like Arrizabalaga to lose his first game in charge nor will it be the last! |
|
By:
to be honest, I may be alone here, but thought Kepa was in the right, he said he was ok to carry on. In this day and age with all the tarts in the game, it was good to see a player wanting to carry on.
Is it wrong for a player to say NO I am fine to carry on? I would rather that attitude than I can off in the local derby as a 'precaution'. |
|
By:
Why is Jon Moss not getting more flak over this ?
The keeper was substituted, he then refused to leave the pitch so why did the referee not have him removed immediately ? Why did the referee run over to the touchline and call Sarri over? The referee is supposed to be in charge on the field yet seemed to go over and plead the keepers case to his manager that he wanted to stay on. Very odd but for me the referee was utterly useless and weak. Chelsea players also should have backed their manager and dragged the bollox off the field |
|
By:
Maybe sarri thought willy was abetter pen saver 9and having played with city would have an idea of where to dive) and the sub was tactical - and judging by the v poor effort to stop kunn's pen he is prob right!
|
|
By:
If Sarri has a shred of credibility and pride he should resign right now - or come out in the media and say 'I can't manage that nest of vipers because, as has been proven historically, then don't want to be managed, so I'm just staying here for the money'
|
|
By:
but spyker thats all ifs and buts, Willy could have gone the wrong way and would he have saved Sane penalty? we dont know.
Now if it was prearranged that cab comes on for the pens, then i do have a problem with Kepa, for me a player wanting to stay on and saying he is fine is a plus point in this day and age. |
|
By:
I totally with with premier fantasy on this. Sarri made the decision to substitute the keeper and that should be the end of it. It is then down to the ref to restart the match with the substitute on the pitch. If Arrizabalaga refuses to leave then the ref has no option but to send him off.
|
|
By:
If Sarri selects Kepa for the next match he might as well go, although he was already for the chop before Kepagate anyway.
|
|
By:
I don't see the issue keeper down lokin g injured manager think right get a fit keeper on obvious decision
Then player says he's fine so no change needed it wasn t a tactical substitution if it was pre determined the keeper would have come off Just a misunderstanding imo media overload |
|
By:
Did you miss the bit where Sarri threw a strop and stormed off down the tunnel? His player seriously undermined him and he didn't put his foot down and looked weak. The player should not have gone against the manager's wishes and the manager should have insisted he come off just to show who was the boss at the very least. Caballero would have done as well if not better than him.
Sarri shouldn't resign but should engineer a sacking to protect himself financially. He's not going to be able to get the players he wants in if the ban is upheld and the players don't want to play his football anyway. Get a payoff ASAP and go to a club where he is wanted. |

By:
Chelsea players refusing to follow managers instructions SHOCK
|
|
By:
keeper brave to stay on LOL, THE WHOLE SITUATION AROSE BECAUSE OF THE KEEPER GOING DOWN AS THOUGH SHOT twice, rolling about in agony when as he said himself was perfectly alright, he was wasting time feigning injury to get to extra time
|
|
By:
So why was Sarri furious when the keeper didn't come off when asked? It does raise an interesting question. If a manager tells the fourth official that he wishes to make a substitution, can the player on the pitch ignore the decision or can the ref send him off?
|
|
By:
Sarri Should impose a 3,4 or 5 match ban on the guy, Just a token dont feck with me... If he plays him as normal, Zero respect from every one. If he tries to drop him completely He's fired..
![]() Hate Chelsea... ![]() |
|
By:
4th official can have subs number and before change is made someone else can get injured and they change the substitution happens all the time
|
|
By:
No need for Kepa to have a ban, Sarri just needs to leave him on the bench for as long as he seems fit. Caballero is a decent enough reserve and from I've seen of Kepa he isn't that good anyway, certainly not worth what they paid for him.
