2Takes Jorginho off brings Kante on, plays Kante on the right again. Moves kovacic as a CDM. Malmo score because kovacic can't defend. UNREAL— TheFootballGuide (@TheFutballGuide) February 14, 2019
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY KOVACIC IS THE LAST MAN BACK? CAN SARRI PLEASE PLAY KANTE IN HIS ACTUAL POSITION?!?! #MALCHE— Tylan (@TylanV1) February 14, 2019
The stubbornness Sarri is exhibiting here is legendary even for a maverick tactician. Jorginho is off, Kante is on the field, but Kovacic is still playing "the Jorginho role" ie the deepest lying midfielder who knows little about tackling & tracking back. #MALCHE— Kabanza john (@Johnkabanza) February 14, 2019
Kante is on to replace Jorginho, but hes not playing as the holding role. Wow, what is Sarritrying to prove. Could we remind him that Kante, is the best hold midfielder in the world, and he has 2 championships medal to prove it. #bbcfootball— Nii (@HasnopmaiIn) February 14, 2019
Caught out and Kovacic in the holding role gets outrun, stop being so bloody stubborn and play Kante in his position #MALCHE— Gavin Belson (@gavbelson) February 14, 2019
Jesus Christ. What goes through Sarris head? Would Kante have let him through like Kovacic just did ffs? The manager is just being as stubborn as he possibly can be. Refusing to accept hes wrong.— Chris Bunting (@Chris__Bunting) February 14, 2019
Sarri has NEVER tried Kante in the holding role, even when Jorginho is out, which makes me think he believes Kante must be some idiotic footballer who can't play vertical passes.Or he's scared that if Kante plays there and does well, shouts to bench Jorginho will intensify.— Daniel Tiluk (@danieltiluk) February 14, 2019
Sarri is playing Kovacic in a holding midfield role over Kante, NGolo Kante…. the WC winner, the best holding midfielder in the world for the past 2 seasons…. The guy has lost the plot,and CHO is at the bench #MALCHE #Sari— MensahGyekyeFrank (@lifeoffrankies) February 14, 2019
For a moment back there, I'm sure I saw Kante playing as the midfield disruptor.Imagine the scenes in training…"N'golo – I want you to something different.""Yes boss.""I want you to play in the middle and intercept the ball. Can you do that?""………"— Dan Levene (@danlevene) February 14, 2019
