Is he good at crossing? I genuinely can’t remember.
They aren’t overpaid at all. They are paid relative to the worth of the industry they work in.
Everyone is a capitalist until it comes to footballers wages, it kills me.
No one mentioned being overpaid... and footballers are paid an obscene amount of money.
I'm happy for almost everyone to get paid however much they can successfully demand.
It only pisses me off when they're getting paid a fucking king's ransom and yet can't be bothered to maintain their fitness.

Exactly! This was the big difference in the Everton game compared to previous games this season. There was a plan and that plan created a couple of really good chances that Reggie and Royal should have put away (or at least hit the target). With better fitness and better grasping of the tactics by the players we will see much more of that. Still early days, but positive signs after just a week.
Agree. Plus against Everton it was the furthest the team had run all season and also had a larger amount of sprints than under Nuno. Chalk and fucking cheese.
I didn't say overpaid, I said 'paid an obscene amount of money'.
I never understood why Poch gave up on that system. I think it was predominantly because of the emergence of Son. He should have found a way to get all the players in the side though because we were great with that until he inexplicably dropped it for the fucking diamond.
Give it a few weeks and I guarantee we will be starting to get the usual stories of unrest and it will be from certain players who aren’t in the team. It happened under both Mourinho and Nuno.
And as opposed to Nuno and Maureen, they will be out the door in the next transfer window.
Well if they not happy they know where the door is, fuck them Conte gets 100% backing no matter who they are.
Not too bad actually from what I can remember....

You're going to love this then...some cunts chatting shit about Conte and Spurs...their knowledge about us doesn't extend much further than that we're bottle jobs and Levy doesn't spend anything...
I think there's a delicious irony that a Geordie can laugh at our lack of trophies...and that a Chelsea fan is actually backing us to succeed...

Really good analysis and one of the reasons I was tactically encouraged is that two of our better chances on Sunday fell to Reguilon and and Emerson.
While there’s rightly been a lot of discussion about getting more creativity from the midfield, I think it’s been under emphasized that in most of Conte’s teams the wingbacks are only behind the strikers in terms of goals and assists.
Generally more important in the final third than any of the midfielders. Though of course all of them contributing is the ideal.
