Loved the way Emerson got stuck in from the moment he came on; Conte's persistence with him has been infuriating but he was one of the game changers tonight. The fans were underwhelmed with Alan Mullery's ability on the ball when he first joined but he won us over with the aggression and work-ethic in his play and earned the nickname of The Tank. Maybe we need to think of Emerson in similar terms.
 
*imo. Not getting into semantics, I just think personally he is a better leader.

I also believe that having a CM as a captain is better for everyone in terms of communication.

Whatever Harry is capable of bringing as captain he should be bringing as an outfield leader anyway at this point......

Nominating someone else when Hugo steps down makes sense IMO.
 
You can say it's shit...cos it was. But the amount of 'Conte Out', abusing our players or similar at half time is ridiculous and pathetic.
That is and always was football. Like everything its been exacerbated by digital media the way to avoid that is to avoid online spaces. I'd simply not take it seriously as half the time it's just emotion. But people rightly called out what was wrong during that first half and the result doesn’t change that.

So we agree?

If you spend all match in the stands shouting abuse at the team who then go on to win, you look a dick.

If you do it online, you look a dick.

And for clarity, I'm not saying people are wrong to express disappointment with our first half performance cos it was shit. However, some on here melt worse than a really melty thing!
