Ian Holloway has defended Sarri after he labelled his players “extremely difficult to motivate”

And speaking on the Jim White Show on talkSPORT, the former QPR and Blackpool boss pulled no punches in his assessment of the current Chelsea squad – insisting the problem continues to be the players and not the manager at Stamford Bridge.The fact is they almost look lacklustre. Its always as if sometimes they need a William Wallace type talk,” he said.How many times have they done that? Theyve done it to (Jose) Mourinho, (Antonio) Conte.“Theres something wrong with the group. I watched the game, and do I agree with him (Sarri)? Yes.But is it risky? Of course. But I go back to my ultimate hero Bill Shankly and what he says about lazy players and what should happen (the clip is played out live on air).”3

The former QPR boss believes the Chelsea squad are “lazy” and “lacklustre”

Holloway believes the club have no leaders and a group of players who think about their individual needs ahead of what is collectively best for the team.He continued: Well this group of Chelsea players are lazy. They are not going about their work in the right way.(Roman) Abramovich should look at and think how many times has this happened? Where are the leaders in this group?“The Graeme Souness, the Roy Keanes and so forth.I was told years ago by senior players in that dressing room about what standards were expected from him.“Everybody leaves it now at Chelsea and just thinks of themselves and not the team.”  The 55-year-old, who is keen on a return to management himself, believes Sarri’s public outburst was a “beautiful, honest risk” and fully justified.He explained: No, Sarri is not out on a limb. Hes a very intelligent man and a mathematician.He cannot believe hes had to come out and do this. Do this lot want to win as much as he does?Youve got to be very careful how you dig people out. If its just personal on one player, a bit like Mourinho was on (Luke) Shaw – that was a bit personal – maybe that’s too much.(Pep) Guardiola had his problems with (Leroy) Sane earlier in the season, too.“Both players have responded to that though and shown what theyre all about.“Yes, Sarri’s taken a risk, but I think it was a beautiful, honest risk.He did it because he couldnt believe the group of players hes working with are not performing to the standards they are capable of.”Sarri will be looking for a reaction from his side on Thursday night at Stamford Bridge when the Blues take on Tottenham in the Carabao Cup,a game you can listen to live on talkSPORT.They will have to overturn a one-goal deficit from the first leg of their semi-final clash if they are to advance to the final at the expense of their London rivals.
