I believe we have little to no hope of beating Watford if he play with a false 9 again.

What does your crystal ball say about our impending defeat to Watford?

That sentiment could be applied to the majority of our first XI at this point. Don't think we've needed a clean out more than we do now.

Think the saga in China hurt him massively this season.

I never said he would be my choice but several reports are pointing his way. We seriously need an identity going forward

Luis Enrique seems to be nailed on and is available now. Conte's got a massive game on Monday

Spurs won't be able to handle Liverpool's attack like City. A draw is the best they can hope for and it would be the ideal result for us.

Tottenham won't be beating Liverpool at Anfield.

He's playing out of position for me. Playing at the top of a 5 man midfielder is where he is meant to play.

Bertrand was a youngster. That's the exception

Drinkwater, Ampadu or even Barkley. I expect Conte to revert back to 3-5-2 against Watford, so Kante along with two of them would be an improvement.

It's not something that should happen again. I'm still behind the man leading our team but he's got to change things up immediately. Cahill & Bakayoko need to be bench for the foreseeable future, if he has any intention of steading the ship.

Is it a freak result, though? No way he can be conceding 3 at home to the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth, etc regardless of who's playing. I know we overachieved last season, but the manner of our play, Conte's manner & reasons like this add up. He should be challenging the board for better (if requested) or walk tbh.

Managers live & die by their own sword. Did someone force him to play Cahill & Bakayoko tonight? The fact they are both still on the pitch is rough.

He doesn't seem like someone who learns from his mistakes

Take Baka OFF!

Mourinho's defeat to this lot was one thing but Conte is on shaking ground with this abysmal performance

Cahill is our CAPTAIN?! Pathetic

Bakayoko needs to come off ASAP

Don't think we've offered anything going forward inside 25 mins

Pleased to see Zappacosta retain his place. Forced to a play a false 9 tonight, but I hope we don't see it again.

Lol Seems that way if reports are to believed

Hope he can hit the ground running and make the most of the spell.

Surprised the board got an obvious deal done

They'll be in Europe along with the fact he's guaranteed game time. I'd obviously have preferred him to stay here, but the move should be a very good one for him. Lets hope he can build himself like a few others have in recent years over there and come back in a place of real contention to start games.
