Possibly not in January, no.

But it shouldn't be hard to find competent full backs who can perform in a system that allows them to be an outlet and provide a problem for opponents.

If Victor Moses, Marcos Alonso, Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian, Stephen Liechesteiner etc. can all prove to be catalysts to title winning football teams in a system that gets the best out of them, then there are a lot of players out there who can do the same.

FFS, I reckon we'd probably look better out there with Neco Williams at RWB ffs.

This is what people keep ignoring, they're always saying Conte needs elite wing-backs. He's never had that many elite wing-backs. There just aren't that many of them to go round. Hakimi is probably the best he's had.

Our problems are not just the wing-backs.
 
Sacking Conte won’t fix our issues. We have players in certain areas not good enough to implement what we need. We need more transfer windows and good ones.

The problem is everyone has money now and is strengthening, so a poor transfer window is going backwards.

Keeping him won't sort them either

Yeah this. This has never felt like having any longevity. End of the season tops imo but starting to feel it may be even sooner than that.

Levy has bought in a DOF who sees Conte's vision and spent a good £170m in two windows to back him.

Conte says he needs another 3/4 windows to sort this shit out.

So why would Levy think of pulling the plug right now despite our good position in the league?

Ten Hag and Potter where the alternatives for a club with a forward looking vision and limited funds. They are now gone, other than Poch or maybe taking a risk on managers like Gallardo we are out of options.

And we know who to blame for that.

The man who had ETH and turned him down

Don’t get me wrong, his football is boring at times. But give him the tools and he can deliver. You can’t deliver with Davies, dier, Emerson and I hate to say it, lloris.

Give any manager the tools and they'll deliver. Taking the best team of players to a league title, isn't that why we say Pep is over-rated?

Yes correct to an extent.

I think it's the timing of the defeat and the manner that is the problem.

We have 2 attacking options out, which doesn't help, especially after a lot of games recently.

But we make too many mistakes, even more than any lack of coherent play.

Conte is paid a lot of money to overcome injuries and to create a strength of mentality.

I knew today was a game we could lose. Said it all week and there you go.

Conte has to oversee a victory on Wednesday or he will start to feel some heat.

His post match imterview will be very interesting but it's been a really poor couple of games.

Stating that we could (not will) lose before every damn game; doesn't make you a sage.... You do realise that? It doesn't even mean you've found enough conviction to make an outright prediction.
 
Third in the league and people crying out for his head? Wow, tough crowd.

Conte is the very least of our problems.

Disappointing week, but we are still in a good position to kick on, both in the PL and in the CL

He wont get sacked. He'll either get the hump and walk (maybe after January window) or just see out his contract.

I think it will depend on money if we go large and spend 200-300m on Skriniar, Hakimi, Gardivol, Brozovic, Oblak He will continue. If not he will probably get pissed off and go, it’s whether we have the money to keep going. He wants to win things so will go on the basis of support.
