It’s the offseason now, and we know as well as anyone that it’s the time to write long speculative article about what will happen with the impending change of manager this summer.
Oliver Harbord of football.london wrote one yesterday, and it got pretty heavy flak. The players he picked out to be the ones to benefit from Sarri’s departure including RLC, a choice derided, amongst others, by some Chelsea fans on Twitter.
It really is a powerfully universal negative response. Is nobody nice on the internet?
We’ve collected some of their responses for you to see here:
Ruben? The player who was never given a chance at Chelsea and was finally given one under Sarri? The player who had established himself as a starter and an important player in the team?
Laughable assessment.
