I just don’t get why we didn’t start with Doc & Kulu and go for it first half rather than leaking another goal while still asleep. When you’re a goal down there’s always a very good chance you’re going to get a fuck up leading to another. I’ve no issue bringing Royal on if we’re defending a lead. He’s not too bad as a defender.
With 5 subs allowed we should be motoring through teams and then defending a lead if and only if we run out of steam. Kulu couldn’t have managed a full game in all likelihood, but why not at least start with the best XI?

Thats not how we roll. Has conte made 5 subs once this season??
 
You don't deserve to win football matches when you start like we always do, with such negative tactics. Period.

We aren't a top 4 side based on what we've seen up til now, from us and our direct competition. Woolwich and City miles better, no way one can argue with that. Newcastle playing much better football too. Liverpool had a tough start but they're still a better side. Chelsea having a rough spell cause Potter is messing about (Sterling at LWB?!) but they'll come back in the race for sure...they defo deserved 3 pts against us. Utd always gonna have games like the Villa one today, but they could well finish ahead of us if they find that consistency. All in all I think we're looking like 7th and losing 10-12 ish PL games.

Nowhere near good enough. But what do you expect with such a negative manager and players as short of talent as Sess, Emerson, Lucas...knowing quite a few of our lads also lack the stomach.

So unless the top teams start shitting themselves, having loads injuries etc, and we sign 2-3 big time players in January AND start playing positive footy, I think we're fucked for CL next year

Deki was obviously not fit enough to play 90, get a grip
 
Dier gave an assist on Liverpool's second goal. The first he was caught ball watching in no man's land.

Having Lenglet in the middle is a risk.

Davies is good as a squad player but by no means is first choice material.

Sanchez is worse than both Dier and Davies.

Emerson is woeful at best.

Doherty blows hot and cold. One can't predict what he will do

Sess is weak. He might have a few fans, but in all honesty, he shouldn't be playing in a top 6 club.

Spence.....The jury is out on that one.

Perisic is Great but clearly isn't a 90 minute every game player anymore.

Romero is Great but can't sail, steer and protect the ship alone.

Out of 10 defenders only 2 deserve to be 1st team. 2 could be squad players and 6 shouldn't be there.

How do some expect Conté not to play defensively. Yes second half we played well but if we gave City the counter attacking space we gave Liverpool, it would have been more than 2-¹
 
The Syrup is so fanatical about setting us up to be hard to beat that it's fucking up the objective, which is to win. I will concede that he needs wingbacks, proper wingbacks, so it's almost unfair to judge him and his system right now. But will we get wingbacks in January and if not, what is the fucking point of this short term Conte project?
 
To be honest I’m much more encouraged after that than Bournemouth Newcastle Etc

In the second half we looked much better we were capable of creating chances etc

Kulusevski man. He makes us a different team! He’s the absolute mustard!

Perisic was good too, I also thought Bissouma and Bentancur were great !

Honourable mention to Lenglet,
