The Conte Thread

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Coward. Didn't even try to win. Just damage control for the entire game.

Got what he wanted. A 'respectable' loss.

Absolute coward. His tactical ideas are excruciating to watch. He isn’t that interested anymore clearly, he’s off by the end of the season. I say just get rid now. 

Has outdone Mourinho with that spineless approach.

Defended the guy all the way but I can't defend today. Cowardly.

Effectively out of the top 4 race and we'll be dumped out of Europe soon.

There really is no reason to keep him beyond the Barca game.

What's is so painful is watching Emerson on the bench when abysmal Moses and Alonso are on the pitch.... Barkley cannot even get a sniff even on bench... City played arsenal two days ago while we had the whole week to prepare for this shit....

Conte deserves no defense. Has showed his true intention. He clearly wants to get sacked.

Any other manager would be better at this point.

I don’t even think he deserves that. Just give a new manager a go/chance to do something with the 1-1 result. Let the new manager weed out the dead wood early so he knows what we need in the summer. Of course this won’t happen.

What are you doing to my club, Conte?

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Know mind probably elsewhere but still.. This couldve been winnable. So much time to bring on subs and waiting till the end again is shite 

Only so long you can back him for... Onto the next.. Then probably a few seasons later... The next. Winning the league is kiss of death. Not that it's a shock other teams strengthened and we brought duds really but still.. No heart today. 

[The Skipper 20,593]

We had a week to prepare for this. City just played a few days on Thursday against Arsenal. Shambolic. 

[Georgy 439]

We need to sack him today if we are to still save our season. Looks rather impossible but with Conte we have no chance anymore. Signs he has given up were there in that Arsenal game, should've done it earlier.

[LAM09 6,558]

Had no idea what to do once we conceded. Think he's done with the job, so it's best to walk away whilst there's still a chance of ending the season on a high.

conte tactical disaster... Just sit back for the whole 90mins expecting them to be less clinical in front if goal.... City has been terrific this season but they are for the taking today... They played without fernandinho while their defense is a suspect... 

[FabHazard 655]

Thought he would change his tactics and correct his mistakes...Nope too stubborn and too much of a coward...Pissed off with these defensive and pragmatic managers..That style of play is not suited to our club and the current squad....Mr Roman please hire an attacking coach...I do not want to hear names like allegri and simeone

[DYC. 7,542]

What happened to pressing? What happened to always trying to score?

Last year it was energy and aggression. This season it's extreme dullness. 

[Special Juan 27,105]

Yep we had a week to prepare but what does that matter in comparison to a team like City and what Pep said last week? He said his players don't think about tiredness, they think about winning.

Their mindset, attitude and all round metal side is the biggest thing alongside their footballing ability. Pep has created a monster both on the field and in the mind of these players, he has players like Kyle Walker looking world class, Raheem Sterling on the levels he was never near, he has Gundogan playing like Lampard and De Bruyne the best player in the world for me.

It's absolute tragic how far we have fallen and all because we decided to penny pinch after a title winning season because we thought it would be OK...well it fucking isn't now is it?
