Anyone who wants Poch back over Conte is fucking mental, seriously, get your head checked.
We have lost ONE game under him in the PL this season and that was our first loss in the PL for quite a long stretch, we are sitting third in the PL, he got us back into the CL after years of missing out and he is a serial winner.
And despite all of this talk of the scum being a freeflowing entertaining team, we have literally scored ONE goal less than them, I don't give a shit what your eyes tell you, the stats and facts speak for themselves.
We may not have been anywhere near our best this season so far but at the back end of last season we were explosive, the football was great and I fully expect that to come again.
People forget how shit we were under Poch once the wheels fell off, sure, lots of circumstances led to that but listen, that is over! You guys HAVE TO EXCEPT THAT!
It's like watching a bunch of losers who still go on about their ex GF years after a breakup, it's done, move on, we have an upgrade now.
Doesn't matter if it's less entertaining for you, if you want to be entertained and watch your team lose week in week out then you are part of the "DNA" problem we have at this club.
Hiring Poch back would be a backwards step.

First time I've really questioned his decisions. Strange choices in the starting 11 and the subs were wrong.
You can't blame individual players on the manager - but you can blame the manager for selecting or not substituting players that are having a bad night.
Really tough game next, away to Brighton. Can't afford any passengers.

We had 6 big games this season and got away with 6 points from them. We are playing shit football by now, the manager insist in the same fringe players every fucking game and is uncapable to change anything. We'll keep playing this same 3-4-3 with Royal on the right until he's fired.
Don't think he's getting fired.
C'mon man, our results came just agains shite team, bar Marseille, and we are playing a shite and uninspiring football. We still have to play United, City and Liverpool, and Brighton is a very good team also. Playing like this we aind getting much from these games.
Not the first time I've heard/read this.
He can't complain about our crazy fixture list and then make no changes to the team.
Why is he so scared?
You can't tell me Bissouma, Skipp, Spence, Doherty can't start games yet Emerson can, I don't buy it.
Why is he so wedded to this system when we look so poor?
He had a whole pre-season did they not work on the 352? He keeps mentioning it but refuses to play it.
Son - Kane - Rich is a shit front 3. Play 2 of them and wait till Kulu is back to play a 3. Not rocket science.

I have no problem with Davies & Sess <> Perisic & Lenglet as they were practical; but as under-par as they were, taking off one of the front 3 wasn't the answer.
Should have taken a defender off and either gone 424 (w/Gil) or 433 (w/Biss).
The opportunities were arising; we just needed to force the issue a bit more.
(There was no moment of magic to be found on the bench and like-for-like wasn't gonna change anything.)

4-3-3 or get out of here please, Mr.Wigbacks
Except royal who's suspended
ALL AFTER THE SAMMY SUMMER OF 2018!!!! And that was AFTER he went public with cries for a painful rebuild. He knew the squad was done and got nothing. His public cries for players provides some absolution Cranny.
Third in table, in good shape in CL group. Not concerned.
I agree with not wanting Poch back. I just don' think Conte is the long term answer.
Conte needs a couple of transfer windows imo to complete squad.
Look where we were 12 months ago. Nuno and a complete mess. 1 defeat in league all season. Foolish to criticise atm. Midfield needs improving. Would like bissouma involved soon and no doubt we need a creative midfielder. Said that in summer.
Emerson is pony for sure, but with regard to the others, I’m afraid to say Bissouma just isn’t the beast many fans cracked him up to be, Skipp is a mediocre midfield no better than PEH or Bentancur, Spence is an unproven Championship RB and Doherty is just pure dog shit.
The theory that we have top class players on the bench that would vastly improve us is just complete folly.
It really is high time we stopped pointing fingers at the managers at this football club.
