Looks nothing like Oscar. Articles quality on TC has gone to shit lately.

I've been working in a DHL warehouse for the past 4 years in a dead-end job. Been overlooked for 2 promotions, one just recently for a total newbie who knows jack shit and now he's my boss and I need to teach him... fuck logic eh? In free time 99% of time I intoxicate myself alone by smoking and drinking. This is what you get having suffered crippling depression for 10+ years, but at least there is always a way out when I well and truly get tired of this shit. This is the truth, I don't talk about it much, but here you go, that's what I do for living. Exciting isn't it?

Neymar hahahahahaha, what a useless turd. He left Barca to come out of Messi's shadow, but the truth is he needed Messi to carry him, selfish diving choke artist on his own. "Better than Hazard" some said Get real, all the guy cares about is personal glory and when he doesn't get it he plants his ass and cries on grass.

Excited to see Emerson and what he can offer. Hopefully Hudson-Odoi will play a part too. Ideally Conte would find a way to play without Kante and Azpi to give them much needed rest for the upcoming monster schedule where they will need them to play every minute. Willy Rüdiger - Luiz - Cahill Zap - Drinkwater - Ampadu - Emerson Willian - Morata - Hudson-Odoi

Christensen at 21 is better than Cahill ever was. In physical aspect GC is better, but everything else AC has him beat. Christensen is already good and our 2nd best CB (best natural CB), but I feel he can still improve in his ball play. Too safe and unimaginative at times, want to see him add a spoonful of Luiz or Bonucci to his game. Defensively he will also get only better and tougher, he hasn't even played a full season in this league yet and is already bossing it. Cahill isn't a light-footed footballer nor is he very wise, Andreas is and his reading of the game is damn near perfect, that's why he is ideal in the middle of our back 3. There was a palpable discord between my confidence of keeping a clean sheet and Cahill replacing Christensen. I was even worried we'd throw the game and draw, this is how confident I am with him in the middle. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

That's very interesting to know, didn't know anything about that international selection thing. You might be right, and as Conte himself said when he first arrived, that he would prefer to kill a player who doesn't give his all. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

It's because saying this publicly puts more negative spotlight on the club, more pressure on himself and affects the squad negatively I presume.

Well this has now come to a point where I wish he would just shut up. With things like these it's difficult not to think that he wants the sack. He's basically calling the board and the players shit while bigging up himself. Last season he was different, much humbler, now it looks like he just doesn't give a fuck anymore. I can't imagine it rubbing off any positive mood to the squad, especially what he said there about "not smiling while working hard". He's like Rihanna with all this work talk.

Yeah... Morata, De Bruyne, Salah and Hazard in attack with Kante and Matic behind them. Our team could have been absolutely sick, now it's just shit.

Man i would love to have that team.. you obviously put some thought in it. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

The more it looks like it was a bad decision letting Michy go, but we wouldn't have got Giroud If we didn't. What a clusterfuck.. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Wait what? Thought he was just a backheel flick merchant.

Tbh Emerson I understand. He's been away for LONG, starting so soon might not have been the best for him or the team in general. Giroud on the other hand? I tend to agree, having a half-fit striker, who is just continuing from where he left off in the same league, is better than leaving our most dangerous player facing 5 players on his own.

Many players are shit and look scared to do anything under Mourinho. The big combative battlers thrive under him, that's why he had a hard-on on Ivanovic. But Salah isn't his kind of player, not one bit. Players like him (and attackers in general) tend to become lost under him. With proper attacking patterns players like him thrive, Mourinho needs "magicians" who can do it on their own, rather than somebody who relies on teamwork and intricate passing to get the best out of him. Salah always had the ingredients to become who he has become - he's freakishly quick, his technique was solid even for us, doesn't need somebody telling him where the goal is. He was young and needed nurturing and faith, but most of all a manager NOT like Mourinho, who doesn't give a fuck what you do as long as you track back. We lost KDB for the exact same reason, he looked lost for us for exactly the same reason. We did not make much of those sales back then because we genuinely thought they were crap, but really they just weren't built for our team. It could have been different, with a different coach, but what's done is done. The Willians and Pedros of this world are built for this team now.

Back in those days the forum was different and not many would put up with posts like these abusing our legends. However the likes of Anelkalouda, Bosingwa and Mikel got stick daily, not much different from today. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

No Bakayoko, means we have a chance. Slight, but still a chance.

I'm glad he has stayed here so long, but it's a bit sad that he has pretty much wasted himself here. Sure, 2 EPL titles in 6 years is cool and all (not really), but we never kicked on after that CL win - the reason why he joined in first place, thinking we were ambitious and going places. He couldn't have been more wrong. We haven't challenged for the CL since, have been in decline and the club implodes after every successful period. No sustainable success, just scraps here and there with subpar players and subdued performances. For me he is a legend for sticking with us through all that (possibly because of false hopes or promises), but nevertheless he has shown more loyalty than some others who enjoy legendary status. I wouldn't blame him at all if he left this summer, I would too if somebody better came calling.

No. I think he plays him because he thinks he's the best option. He must be doing something right in training, but continually crumbles during games.

Missed the game, take it we played well but were unlucky.

I think it's time we stop assessing players based on if they fit Conte's system, it looks increasingly unlikely he'll be here next season. What system does Luis Enrique play?

Can't wait to see high balls to Hazard again.

"Callum Hudson-Odoi came on as a late substitute, bizarrely fielded as a right-wing-back" False. We clearly went 4 at the back with Azpi RB, Alonso LB and Hudson-Odoi winger. If he were playing RWB he wouldn't have had those actions on the left side.

Grossly misworded quote, typical. Asked if he was happy with the club's business, Conte replied: "It's not important. I'm not happy [with the result]. The transfer market is not important. Now we have to focus on the work. Players go, players come. It doesn't change."
