Dire is fucking pointless

Get him out
Sadly he is so so bad now, costing us big time this season!

He is so bad that i'm actually contemplating giving Sanchez a run, and that's bad. Hell i would probably give Rodon a go!

Crap on the whole from us though.... No killer instinct and as someone here said earlier "any excuse to reduce our intensity". Having gone 1-0 up, that should have been a walk in the park given the way Conte wants to play..... At 3-1 up it should have been game-over.

This game is the trick we so very nearly pulled off last weekend too.

Let's be honest, for the lack of ambition we show when we do make the Champions League we don't really deserve to qualify anyway. We only seem interested in the extra revenue which never really gets adequately invested in football team.
We're just a cash cow for ENIC. A piggy back ride for them to exploit their more important non football related objectives.
As CL qualification only strengthens their stranglehold on the club, we're better off out of it until they fuck off
I couldn't agree more, its ludicrous.

I think our next managerial signing needs to be a shrewd one with malicious intent to deliberately keep us JUST above the relegation zone for the next couple of seasons, so ENIC feel compelled to sell. Frank Lampard is our man, step up son.
 
Because our defenders are shit?

And he STILL insist on playing this defensive system, mind-boggling!

This guy is literally BEGGING to be sacked, but Levy/Paratici is just refusing! Self-sabotage at the highest order.

I've said since New Years, that for every game now we keep Conte, our chances of top-4 will diminish.

If you can't win against Wolves, and a bottom of the league Southampton when 3-1 up and their both CB's out, you won't get top-4
Imagine what Confusius would say if we had a high press and had Dier facing a one on one..... But wait, we did have that. A few times. He put his hand behind his back and started the Dier shuffle backward leading to splendid goals, unfortunately scored against us
 
Contes tactics are slightly better than Mourinho. But it's still passive pragmatic shit. Invite pressure and allow even crap teams like Southampton to score 3 against us. This is the premier league, modern football.....like we had and were the benchmark 5 years ago. Sigh!
 
Negative substitutions, Dejan was playing very well he should never have been subbed off. It’s easy to use hindsight but Conte’s scared defensive mentality has cost us too many points and dropped us out of too many competitions.

We should’ve been going for more goals rather than shutting up shop, Southampton had lost their two starting centre backs to injury for fucks sakes.

I’m at the end of my tether with Conte.
 
For those still blaming managers, ........ Wake up. No manager can win a F1 with a beetle. Nor can you win the Met with a Donkey. You need some quality throughout. It's not to say we don't have some quality. We have some great quality and some real Crap. The really crap, is our downfall.

We don’t have a Beetle, we have some very good players - today was on Conte. No players played badly today it was all round a good performance, Conte completely fucked it and mismanaged the game.
