We're better placed to finish in the top four now than this time last season.We won’t finish in the CL places, hope that helps. We will finish below Liverpool and Utd almost certainly
Feeling strangely confident about tonight. Think we’ll do them.
Kane and Richie to score.
Think your find we are dog shit mate, can't defend, have a number of players not up to it in a variety of positions.We're better placed to finish in the top four than this time last season.
Which means that we probably won't.
I might have agreed prior to injuries to Biss and Benta. 4 months of PEH will see us toil to finish 8thWe're better placed to finish in the top four now than this time last season.
Which means that we probably won't.
Since the first time you urged me to put my house on it, I've gone from a 6 bedroom Edwin Lutyens mansion 48 acres, through a 4 bedroom, then a council house and now living in the dog kennels at the Forest Row rspca....always following your advice...
Sound familiar???
The sheer lack of midfield options for us is painful. Id love to think this factors into Conte's thinking and we see something a little "progressive" whilst also fulfilling the need to have at least SOME cover on the bench for mids
Forster
Emerson - Romero - Davies - Perisic
Kulu - Sarr - Hojbjerg - Son
Kane
Richy
with Skipp as our midfield "insurance" in case of injury or early yellow cards for Sarr/Hoj... But it wont happen will it

I can remember when it was all about the football, not money....I think the break point is if Levy feels like CL is at risk. Despite all of our issues we're still within striking distance even though it doesn't feel that way.
The money CL brings in is far too important so the moment he feels that is at substantial risk he will make the move.
Who amongst us remember how appalling his last few months became....he hasn’t changed, we haven't changed.....why would he come back? Why would we want him back? Especially to a team still lacking in key positions...Hit a bad enough run of form and he'll be out. His contract ends at the end of the season so its not like he would cost too much to sack.
And Poch is lurking in the wings as a safe option to bring in on short notice. The big positive of Conte seeing out the season is obviously that you can spend the entire spring planning for whoever is supposed to take over. But Poch is free and seemingly not averse to coming back.
Absolutely....he wants to get fired...If he picks Son again today, if he picks Tanganga again today, if he again sits there while the 11 he picks are dismal, and makes no change until the 80th minute then I actually think even Levy would do a better job.
Conte is not an idiot, so doing what he did against Leicester is telling IMO.
Could see Alfie Devine get a chance tonight IMO, at least from the bench
didnt realise hes suspendedNo; it won't... Cos it can't happen. PEH can't play tonight.
As for lack of bench/depth? ....We're playing the depth because of injury/suspensions. Surely this is all obvious?
