Nothing Conte does is ever right for everyone is it lol I'd have used the 3 man CM with Barks before now even for minutes here n there. But this lineup SHOULD be enough 9 times out of 10. Strong bench too.

Course. Or Isco. But mate you know like I do we have to be realistic. Only way we get anyone decent - world class - in is if we swap Eden or use contacts - like a new managers old players.

Sarri-Higuain reunion at Chelsea? https://www.football-italia.net/121297/sarri-higuain-reunion-chelsea

Wouldn't that be funny eh!

Lads still got it at 40 ffs!!

Only if we could get Guinness to sponser us. But cant see them changing the color to blue tho. But yes mate you git the jist of what we mean by daytrippers. They seem to get corporate freebies from wherever their offices are in town whilst some chap thats followed them man and boy now cant afford one. Its all down to large corporations grabbing as much money as they can wherever and whenever possible. I was talking the other day how different it is to be an annual mid table club. They have no pressures at all as nobody expects much from them. They can ecperiment as much as they want with players,formations etc. And have that luxury to be able to buy good players from lower leagues because they are probably at their standard. If we could take a couple of seasons like that where Roman agreed to give whatever nanager we had his full support so they could strip us down from the board to the academy. Wake up Uj youre dreaming again mate!

You're just trying to cheer us up aint ya?

N’Golo Kante raves about Chelsea FC team ahead of Man United clash in FA Cup final The Chelsea FC star talks up the Blues team ahead of their FA Cup final clash against Manchester United https://www.thesportreview.com/2018/05/chelsea-fc-latest-news-ngolo-kante/

Thats alot easier said than doneI If you were a passionate manager full of hope, wanting to succeed in your new job woud you be happy if your bosses didn't listen to the advice you gave them? If you were a painter and you needed some new badger hair paint brushes but your boss who knows sod all about painting sent for some cheap nylon bristle one that come out all over the wall ruining the paint job. Its the same sorta thing. I just read where Conte was upset Emenalo left which suprized me as I always disliked him and always thought he was a shitstirrer who was jealous of our managers and loved being the center of attention. But he said Emenalo helped him alot as inbetweener but now he has to deal with Granivoskia who I doubt knows much about football. We need to get a new Sporting Director in. The last i read we was talking to Lilles Sporting Director Luis Campos. Dunno what he is like.

Unai Emery favourite to replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/958859/Arsenal-Unai-Emery-Arsene-Wenger-next-manager-favourite-PSG

I'm sure Iggy will have an answer for you too my friend but as you are a long standing supporter you will know exactly the kind of 'daytripper' he means! The ones that sit with their laptops and mobiles taking selfies and are posted onto various social media accounts before the match is ended. The ones that look at us in shock,awe and disgust for venting our anger at the ref or having a sing song. These 'daytrippers' know sod all about football and even less anout Chelsea. They go for various reasons. We have become a part of the tourist industry. Guys want to boast to their mates around the coffee machine at the office they were slumming it with the pie and mash lot. For whatever reason the ground is over run with the b;ighters! And it will only get worse with a bigger ground and the more silverware we win. I liked the days before the tourists came. We didnt win bugger all but it was a great craic following the lads.

Yeah I could live with that mate. But you just know 'The Board' will want to be daddy big bollox and want the biggest available. If we leave it a bit lomger we could goto North London potato men,

I'm all for us spending whatever it takes to bring in someone like Isco but we just cant get the A List trype players. So we have to set our sites loer no matter how much cheese I eat to dream that we can. So you better have a chat with Sarri,Roman or whoever controlls our transfer system to find us a good striker from the 'B' list.

I cant see this guy a step up on Willi myself.

Thats why we desperately need someone like Jorginho who can do it.

There is much more room on them we could rent out surely? Socks? Boots? Back of shirts? Shorts? Headbands,faceguards,gloves or hats? Players Tats!!!

Peeps are talking like they know for certain what is going to happen in a week or so's time. Nobody knows if the Don is offski. And IF he is nobody has said Sarri is def coming have they? We was linked with Allegri for far longer than Sarri. Peeps have such short memories tho. This time last season Conte couldn't put a foot wrong afte us playing some of the best football I have seen us play. Now we have interweb lynch mobs after him. The players this season have failed too. By rights the teams thats been selected have more than been capable of inning the games they were chosen for. And whether thru shit luck or playing like shit they havent done their jobs well enough. But its much easier to make 1 person the scapegoat isn't it. Lets hope the board actually gets togerher with our next one and they can agree about transfers. Thats why the managers position will be sorted out quick I hope. It would be sods law tho that the players he wants get nobbled in the WC lol Lets get the next 2 games sorted 1st tho. Nothing is written in blood.

After the last weeks game lers hope the lads felt suitably embarrased by their poor performance and would like to do summet to show they can actually fuck up teams of this caliber. Lets give the fat Spanish waiter a good sending off.

Had a load ofcheese before i went to bed so was dreaming. And thought I'd carry on dreaming with this 4 3 3 either Asensio or Eden Icardi/Giroud Fekir/Willi Kante Jorginho/Seri Baks/RLC Telles/Emerson Rudi KK Dave Tibo

DOUBLE THREAD NEEDS DELETING

I dont have a real footballing brain. But it seems from all Ive read that the managers we have regularly been linked to play a 4 3 3 system so doesn't that mean it wont just be Kante/Jorginho? They ill use probably Baks or even RLC who I'm dubious about. So those 2 will mean Jorginho can be the playmaking,passomg machine it seems that he is?

I basically agree with what you say mate. I think OUR (supporters) problem is we have become mini Romans. We have bought into his 'if it doesn't work straight away then get rid of it' system. We expext everthing that we want to be instant. Instead of letting players get accustomed to our system, gel with each other. Now I'm not saying yhay about all players we bring in. We may have bought some players who might not be of the standard we hoped they would be. But if a player has been playing well before he comes to us and then he seems to lack the basic abilities and awareness that position needs then theres got to be some reason for it. Either something in that players life isn't right or whatever the team is doing woth him is wrong. I dont have the footballing brain alot of us on here have. I just love watching Chelsea. But it seems to me we have become so used to winning over the kast 15 years or so we now expect us to do it every year. We have had teams that have wotked great together. Those players aren't with us anymore. It might be we haven't bought the right ones to fill those players positions, Or we need to give some of them more patiance. But if we want to build something that will work for more than 1 season I think it takes more from us lot about new players than - 'Hes shit - sell him'

The site mighr have alot f pompous prick on it but have to admit this makes alot of common sense It’s time to exercise patience, or stop calling for a legacy at Chelsea A divided fanbase over Antonio Conte shows we don’t have the tolerance for construction of an empire https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2018/5/12/17330366/its-time-to-exercise-patience-or-stop-calling-for-a-legacy-at-chelsea

Not for Kante tho ffs!!! Chelsea submit stunning transfer offer to rival €100m Manchester United bid for Champions League winner http://www.caughtoffside.com/2018/05/11/chelsea-rival-man-utd-for-marco-asensio-transfer-with-swap-deal/

But I still think Cescy in a 3 man CM can work. Keep him behind the other 2 in deep pocket so he can have time and space to do his magic and get forwards more when possible. That way he doesn't need to defend and can make his passes upfield.
