So we are back to defending deep all game then hoping Kane and Son can win it for us. Great.

Good conclusion. Ask a question and answer it right away.
YES! That is what manager should do - he should tweak the system to get best possible result with players he has at his disposal.
Otherwise it would be really simple - put out 11 players in specific system and repeat this selection for 45-50x per season and its done.
We have all seen in past 6 games how well it goes if you play unsuited players to unsuited roles.
P.S he used 3-5-2 quite often in Inter as well. Cause you know, players fitted into this system better.
I read a lot of nervousness, a natural consequence of the defeat in the derby. As a neutral observer, allow me a judgment (not required).
You are in the leading group in an anomalous season where the World Cup will have heavy aftermath: I am thinking of injuries, squeezed players, exhausted mental energies.
I think the important thing is to stay ahead and not lose too many points, then the balance can change.
Being negative when you have only 4 points from the first is only an advantage that you give to the competition.

Agreed. In fact they look the best bet for 2nd. I was annoyed when they got jesus. Hopefully the wheels come off again. But less likely now with the new signings & the confidence they have. Fingers crossed liverpool stop them in their next game to stop the roll they are on.
Let's face it everyone is playing for second spot and down, but yes sadly I could see them getting second but depends on what happens throughout the season of course.
It is a 1 team league so city @ then the other usual 5 in the top 6 with maybe Newcastle being up there. 2nd is open now that liverpool have passed their peak thank god! praise the lord!
Remember every year when you (and others) have been willing them to finish ahead of Liverpool....?
Essentially, this is the eventuality you've been cheering towards.
Local rivalries are one thing(***); but petro-ball has been the arch enemy for nigh on 20 years now....... Yet the likes of yourself could only muster jealousy towards these clubs and ridicule towards your own team..... (***That said; even Chelski garnered more envy than disdain.)

Exactly. They’ll be zero pant wetting from inside the club.
Nothing better than 6th/7th place in League, 1st knockout round in CL and QF/SF in domestic cups.
But I still very much hope that he can change things.
It is not that it would be catastrophe NOW, there is still time to turn things around. But for that, some decisiveness is needed.
This exactly why managers don’t last as soon as little adversity and difficult periods start the fans cry like little babies.
Anyone who starts a Conte out thread and/or participates in it in support of it is getting bin voted and blocked.
Yet everyonn no e says we have one of the best squads in the pl. better than goons even. His just making excuses as he always does at his clubs. Remember chavs he started the fall out bcos he didn’t get a player he wanted I believe. His got a good squad of players. Which is certainly at a better level than the football we are playing. He should utilising the squad he has to play better football by coaching. Other coaches / teams seem to be able to do it with far less spend and on paper less quality players.
Wtf you talking about? I’m just using him as an example of alternative players to richo we could have gone for. However just comparing the two Jesus has played for a winning team for past 5 years, coached by pep, he dies work his socks off as that is part of peps style can play wide, good ish goal scoring record and his skilful. Now compare that with the £60M we paid for richo. Coached by who, relegation quality team, goals record not that great, falls over, cheats, may be runs about however last few games as a starter his not even done that much, technically the ball often bounces off him and his always ficking offside. Pound for pound I would say most people would agree Jesse is probably the better signing.
Also he would have stated plenty of games. Front 3 of son Kane Jesus sounds a lot better than son Kane richo imo.
Jesus is better than Richarlison. I don't know how that's a controversial take. It's not like he's comparing Jesus to Son.
For me, I know this is not really popular, I'd have taken Cash plus Jesus for Kane last year. Jesus facilitates play better than Richarlison. Richarlison is a one dimensional player. Kulu is injured and our attack has fallen flat.
