Conte gone for me. Days are numbered. Not that i want him sacked, but he isn’t getting the backing from our gutless parasite owners and that bald shine headed toss pot, so he’s off end of season if not before

Manager Antonio Conte

Getting Conte in as a project manager is the height of stupidity. This is the reason more than the financial backing why I want ENIC out. They are fucking clueless, nobody here would be stupid enough to do this, well most wouldn’t. Levy is both a really smart guy and a total idiot, he covers both ends of the intelligence spectrum. He is like a scientist who can’t put his pants on the right way round or cook an English breakfast, a genius and a fool.
But we didn’t though. We got a cheapo CB on loan in Lenglet instead of splashing out what was required for a Top CB. We bought a young unproven RWB when Conte wanted a ready made RWB. Richarlison aside, how the fuck was Conte backed?
That would still be fast and exciting
rich and kulu injuries sort of forced him to play gil today, theres no way he plays if one of them is fit.
i thought the back 3 was good today, the ref giving romero an early yellow didnt help. id rather them 3 than dier, he had to be dropped after the last game alone. you cant get away with shit like that and not be dropped.
what would you of done then kept dier in there?
i personally would of had that 11 but had gil in the hole behind 2 up top with kane and son. son cant beat a man and doesnt have the nous to play out wide, get him central and make the game very basic for him and just try to get him in behind
Yes that's 6 or 7 players. Few injuries and we are done.
What's new?! Exactly same under Poch, excellent starting XI but crap bench. Injuries and congestive week or two and weaknesses are exposed.
It's a naive board, don't want to know, don't learn from past experiences and got to go.
How would it behave at corners & braking? Lol
Think I came to that conclusion after Newcastle we didn’t look like we had anything to offer outside outside sold piece individual brilliance which didn’t manifest.
He should have played 3-5-2 today. If you're willing to give Sarr minutes, why not start Skipp?
If you're willing to drop Dier, why not try Romero in CCB (where he was great for Atalanta), and give Sanchez the start? I'd rather see Sanchez at RCB than Dier at CCB.
Bailey should have had an early yellow as well. Ref definitely played a part in hindering us today.
Bissouma was an excellent signing that simply failed to assimilate. He got Perisic. Richi cost a pretty penny. Once Bastoni said no we really didn’t have any other options. And Spence could have been an instant hit if Conte would have tried.
Portraying last summer as if Conte is an Oliver Twist begging for scraps is far from reality. And again, if Conte needed only world class players to compete then he’s in the wrong place.
Well he got something right today then
Anyone can be a world class manager when they can just pick whoever they want.
no i agree with that, id rather sanchez at RCB than dier at CCB yea. however sanchez is another liability and its always a worry.
i agree about the system change too but he doesnt seem to want to do that. he sticks with his system even though its clearly not working with current group of players.
honestly i think most fans who know what they are talking about could just pick a team and get better performances than him. hes got options but hes too rigid to come away from his little system. its fucking braindead shit.
Lets be honest todays performance and result have been coming, we've just about managed to get out of jail against Bournemouth, Leeds and Brentford but we've been bloody awful for months now. Just cant see it changing under Conte. Results might pick up a bit again but i think this level of performance is it.

That would have needed another 100M on 2 top players. Instead we spent 20M and a loan fee.
You pay peanuts, you'll usually get monkeys. What happened to that 150M that was earmarked, we certainly didn't spend all of that did we?
The one thing I would say is that I knew we’d struggle as soon as it was announce kulusevski was out. We’ve seen the impact him and bentancur have had to the side. How many times have they played together this season? 3 or 4?
There was zero options on the bench and he’s having to play son whose legs have gone. His replacement is also injured.
Today was fucking terrible, I wanted to go home 15 minutes in I was so bored. But I think there was mitigating circumstances. Conte is losing me because of his stubborn 343 formation which just doesn’t work.

Conte has got plenty of backing. He’s just not as good a coach as a lot of people thought or were led to believe.
I wish people would stop calling it 343. It's 523 or 532. It's 5 in the back line not 3.
Just a pet hate of mine. 343 would be with one less defender. He's playing an extra defender.
he plays son out of choice anyway though hes proved that all year.
in the next couple days either conte will be gone or we would have signed a player.
You can't be a world class manager.
