Ultra defensive. Replace Matic with Fabregas at least.

If we replace Fabregas with Matic we can play 3-4-3 and easily switch to 4-3-3 with Luiz moving to midfield

i agree, the signs were there and we almost paid the price, he only made changes on 76 min when we were 2-1 down, changes should have been made on the hour mark, but at the end of the day we didn´t lose which would have been a travesty, because we gifted Swansea those 2 goals. Cheers

He keeps talking about incorporating players into his style of football but what does he really mean ? All i really see is a defensive approach. Two games we've nicked in the dying minutes and finally we lost points today against a really poor side. He hasn't binned any of our underperformers from last season. Every new manager must take a year to assess the garbage in our squad and since we change managers every year they'll basically be with us forever.

 As for Conte what is really special about him? I don't see it so far. Mourinho wouldve had the exact same lineup that he's been playing so what was the point of bringing him in ? The football hasn't really changed and the youth players can't even make the squad.

Wish we had Guardiola. He would've really transformed the team.

Not exactly true. Yea the starting line up is frustrating at times but comon, you really think the team under Hose last year would have faught as hard to get the draw or a possible win? Conte has definitely changed a beaten up mentality to a fighting spirit. Who knows if he is just resting players like Cesc for the bigger ganes that we have coming up!

After going 1 up our play became really lethargic. We didn't fight hard at all. Frantic scurrying in the last 10 mins to save two points isnt really fighting hard. Any professional player with dignity would do that.

We didn't fight hard at all?? I think you are wrong. That frantic scurrying in the ladt ten minutes was the result of fighting hard lol! We should have scored a third tbh

[blues.bridge 340]

Someone have To explain me why, With all problems we have for starting play, we have To keep  fabregas  on the bench?   Why why why?????

It's like Break a tire And don't use The spare!

Only first 4 games of the season. Even Guardiola's City don't look a special team. Actually the Manchester derby from yesterday was far from a flawless one, and City didn't look "solid". Some people in this forum are really trying to picture Conte as a genius (some are vem saying we scored the 2nd goal because of his subs, perhaps in a attempt to picture him as a game changer), and there is nothing at this point to suggest he is a genius, but there is also nothing to suggest he is a fraud. 

We started the team with the same shit back four as last season. Swansea 2nd goal was a Cahill+Terry construction. Terry passed the ball to Cahill in a dangerous position (first mistake), and Cahill was really slow with his reaction (2nd mistake). You cant blame Conte for the quality of the back 4.

To other side I'm getting worried about his decisions to play the same players every single game. It seems he is doing a Mourinho and fielding the same players no matter who the opponent is. His in game decisions are not impressing at all. Moses replacing Willian was a weird move, Fabregas was introduced too late, and Batshuay for Oscar was the cliché 2CF in the last minutes that barely pays off. 

Don't expect this team to challenges for PL trophy this season. Getting a top 4 finish will be a huge achievement.

We win...Conte is the best manager.

We dont win...Conte is average...what did he do so far...we should keep Mou...

Some people Change the opinion as the wind goes.

They are missing 4 starting players. Kompany, Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and Gundogan. Their football just looks way more fluid whereas ours is just as disjointed as last season because we haven't really changed anything at all apart from the defense.

Tbf Guardiola is starting with a much stronger group. Man City have better footballers (ability on the ball mainly) in pretty much every single position. You make a combined XI and who makes the teams? Kante and Hazard and that's about it.

Courtois and Bravo can make a real battle of that GK position. Both have been like wizards this wekeend.
