I think people forget that what Sarri is doing is what Pep advised him to do. Year 1 is to teach the system to 14 players, and year 2 is when you focus on the squad as a whole. The starting 11 still can't figure out how to pass the ball quickly enough or make runs off the ball, it takes times, especially when we've been a counter team for so long, and a team that's relied on Hazard doing things individually. He's stubborn because the players haven't grasped the concepts and he's not a pragmatic like Mourinho or Conte.
