I love that while we're all demanding he get's more out of the players, he's demanding more out of us.
I saw him doing it from the east upper lol. The man has that much of a reach!
He understands what that noise can do and how it can give players a few percent more.
Go for a run and try it with loud fast music, you'll run faster and for longer.
Crowd is the same.

At University, I did a test for a mate studying sports science.

I had do a sprint cycle thing on 3 seperate occasions, pedalling as fast as I could on an exercise bike for x amount of minutes. On occasions one and three, he shouted encouragement, applauded etc. On the middle occasion he stayed silent.

Results clearly showed much better performances when he was making noise and cheering me on.

I dunno we (I) pay the highest ticket prices in Europe (maybe the world?). I don't like the prices but setting it that high comes with an expectation. Why should I put up with no shots over 3 games? Also, Kane aside there looked like a lack of energy in the first half. They needed a kick up the arse.

7 shots against West Ham Xg 1.52
9 shots against United xG 1.38 (united only had 1.12)
8 shots against Everton (both teams had below 1 xg)

Don't get hung up on shots on target. We are making chances, but we're missing them.

This is actually a fair point and it's hard to argue against, I actually understand why some boo although it's counter productive - I guess it comes down to trust and patience in the hope that things will get better, it looks like we are finally starting to sort our shit out now.

Not even the highest in London - prices are a factor of location and demand - if the Northern clubs could fill the stadiums at London prices they would .....

West Ham having bugger all fans shows how demand impacts the price (that and a shit stadium)

Whilst shots are obviously an issue, it's missing the chances that's the main problem .....

Wow - The current price of £1,250 will rocket to £3,900 per seat for a tier-one ticket on and around the halfway line, which is likely to push Chelsea ahead of its London rivals for the most expensive seats in the Premier League next season.

Didn't believe it until I saw a copy of the letter they sent to West tier upper season ticket holders - as I said - Wow

The “shower of shit” that Conte will sort out I was referring to is the lack of proper coaching, poor man- management skills and abysmal player recruitment that has occurred over the last few years. If you took this as an attack on the players you are mistaken. I will leave that to the very few on here who seem to get enjoyment in doing just that

There must be a tiny amount of season tickets in our stadium at that price though! Mine was £600 odd at Wembley and jumped up to around a grand in the new stadium. Factor in fuel costs and time with travelling etc it was £40 fuel, 3 hour drive each way and £50 a ticket averaged out over the season. That’s £90 before food / drink money for the day. Now I’ve got a little one that is desperate to go all the time too, I’ve had to give up the season ticket and pick and choose. I wish we charged those West Ham / City prices!

Conte has to feel pretty decent about where we’re sitting. Assuming City beat West Ham this weekend and we beat Burnley, we’re one point off fourth.

Long way to go and still a lot to improve on, but some one as confident and ambitious as Conte will like his chances.

Man U being so shit has given everyone a shot in the arm…. I thought we’d be in the mix from 5-7th but there’s a 4th place slot up for grabs now and with Conte there’s a chance we’ll nab it

COYS
 
I was just thinking that I'm happy that Conte is stuck with our squad for a month or two.

We've been saying for years that it needs a proper refresh. Many players have been shuffling along day to day without a care. It's always been the managers who took the blame but I've said for years that whoever was in charge can do nothing about an inability for our players to pass it 5 yards to a teammate.

Poch took the blame cos it was felt the project had run its course
Jose took the blame for being a dinosaur
Nuno took the blame cos he wasn't good enough.

But with all these...the players were shite but survived all of them.

Now there's no hiding place. If we continue to under perform it is pretty much guaranteed to be on the players and those players will finally be found out and shifted out.

Some of the players who get stick on here will shine though I reckon. Ben Davies being my hot tip for example. Conte seems to like him. He's professional. Reliable. He'll get some goals too.

Watching them scenes at full time with Conte embracing all the players and proper fired up.. it puts the biggest smile on your face. The belief is finally here

Agree but with notable exceptions like Berg and Doherty who didn’t want to know

I don’t think Conte will appreciate sulkers

Ok but a lot like me don’t get any enjoyment at all but have supported our team for a long time (nearly 60 years in my case) and feel that several of our players richly deserve all the criticism that they get!

We’re carrying several passengers and have done so since the Poch era
We all know who they are but if you want clarification I’ll post it

Time they were moved on as they’ve been taking the piss for far too long

Some have had several chances and still aren’t good enough
