Ian Holloway believes the criticism of Sarri is unfair

I dont know if youve played backgammon at all, its all numbers, so thats why I feel its a bit unfair on Sarri at the moment.The facts of this is if you are a football supporter, you will have moments where you are disappointed and disillusioned because the energy of your football club is dissipating and going downwards so you need someone to come and pump that up. Whatever happens, you are there forever whereas as a football manager you have to change your shirt and change your office. You are going to get sacked in the morning but you have to learn to deal with that.Chelsea face Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday and you can listen to coverage live on talkSPORT with kick off at 4.30pm.
