Kenedy looked realy promising last season. Its a fucking disgrace that he is at Watford (and probably to our luck wont even play much), while Pedro is here.

I think we have some outdated players. For example Ivanovic. Even in his best, I would still prefer a dynamic, quick, powerfull/skilled full back ala Cole, Aurier, Alaba, Clyne etc... And we sign Alonso. Man, I realy wish we had someone like Clyne. Azpi, Iva and Alonso. That has to be the slowest, worst offensive set of fullbacks in history. Then there are Matic and Cesc who turn like ship.

Just my two cents... 1.) Conte was never a manager who makes his teams play beautiful, but he always had that ''never give up'' mentality. So, where the fuck was that mentality today? 2.) Subs. WTF? Waiting till 83min? And same last week. Pedro on? Seriously? Why the fuck didnt Michy play? I bet my ass that we would look more dangerous if he brought Bats in after we scored goal. Was he scared that they will do us 3:1? Cant process that, I realy cant. 3.) Our passes/crosses in the middle. Haha better stop doing that because all we do is lose the ball over and over. No accuracy, no timing with passes and no players to get those balls. 4.) The shit static play has returned. For first games, we had energy, dynamic play, quick passing, possession football. But all that was gone today. You could see Conte changed setup. Stay deep, counter attack with long balls. That was, the shittest tactic I seen in long time. It was first big game for Conte, hopefuly he will learn his lesson and improve. Luiz was good, definately liked what I saw. Costa was good, Kante, Tibo and Azpi were decent. Thats it. Rest was shit. Including the subs. And Cesc. I see he bulked up a little bit. Thats fucking great. Now he is even slower than before. His passing and vision cant save him a starting spot if he cant put in a dynamic display for final 7 minutes of the match. I get why Conte is not starting him. The pressing, all movement with him on the pitch would be gone. Sad, because he is a fucking brilliant playmaker. And Pedro. I have no idea how he gets the minutes. RLC should be getting more minutes than him FFS. We could keep Kenedy for that matter, but nooo.

Why the fuck is Bats not going in

You gotta love Ivanovic. He is absolute piss in dribbling but does it every time he gets the ball, even if he has 3 players infront.

Well thats exactly what I was saying...Its not the result, but the performance of our team is literaly a disgrace. Hazard, Costa, Conte, Matic, Oscar,...no one is giving a single fuck that we are losing. They look like someone who hates their job and cant wait to finish to get the beer.

What the fuck is this? Literally no one from manager to players is giving a shit. We might as well not even enter the pitch and let them win 3:0 automaticaly. Lovren finished like a Suarez and Henderson goal was a crack, there was nothing we could do. Im not pissed that we are 2:0 down. But the mentality...the lack of giving a shit...get the fuck out of here with that attitude.

'I've always believed in the ability and the talent I've got. 'To be honest every pre-season I feel I've done well and it's just about being given a chance. That was the thing that was missing. 'I've got that with this manager now and he knows what I've got. I just want to pay him back by working hard for the team.

I dont want to dig at Conte, but there was alot of talk of buying new defenders whole summer. And now that we got them, the likes of Ivanovic and Cahill still play. It took injury, so that Luiz will play. And I dont buy into this "they are not ready yet". They were playing for their teams regulary, which means they are fit. And what better way is there to learn tactics and bind with squad thanplaying. If we paid 50m for defenders and the likes of Iva still play, something is not right. Iva is actually in good form and all fine if Conte trusts his proven 11, but why the hell would then one buy backup defenders for 50 million and ship Kenedy, Miazga out on loan... I might overreact as its only second game since arrivals, but history tells me these guys wont get the proper chance once again.

Depay is doing a Balotelli faster than Balotelli himself.

Not far till RLC will play as GK, just so that club can say we develop our own players.

Fucking hell. Everytime players leave us they perform like they are best out there and when they return, they also return to average.

Not popular opinion but under someone like Conte and gaining experience, Oscar could actualy end up as very good midfielder. Even the likes of Xavi got better after age 26, I certainly believe Oscar will be much better than he is now once he gains experience and matures (his head is in right place). Now the question is if we are ready to wait 2 years or maybe even more. He is much better this season; his grit had come back, he creates chances and plays better most of the time, but I guess all this negative comments come from the fact that fans expect Oscar to play like Lamps and until he performs like that, people will never be happy with his performances.

Should be benched because some special snowflakes might get offended by his actions through tv screen

I hope we will be more accurate than vs Swansea. We do that and we have great chance to win.

Tibo never actualy proved that he is better than Cech. He just put ultimatum to club either to play in first 11 or leave for atletico. The boy has damn lot to prove, he has quality, but his confidence is low and his head not focused. When we had Cech, you knew he will be reliable, with Tibo, you cant tell.

Why are some throwing Guardiola and his youth integration to be so successfull? Who signed Caceres as well, wasn't Pep? Who signed 24 years old Cesc Fabregas and snubed Thiago? Surely Pep. Who signed 34m. and 22 years old chilian player Alexis Sanchez instead of promoting youth? Also Pep. (From barca forum) His days at Bayern. Did he really promote their youth? I remember him buying several spaniards and dumping Kroos, even Muller among others. Then comes City. How many of their youth will actualy play? And I dont mean the young players they sign for 30m who have great talent. Im talking about City academy. His time in barca and "youth integration" comes to one conclussion. It takes a fucking brillian players to succeed. Xavi, Iniesta, Pique etc were all world class potentials. I dont know why is Pep laying on that myth for ages to turn academy players to starters in every club. If he was here; RLC, Solanke etc would get a chance if they proved themselves, not because of Pep. If your good enough you will play. Sadly our academy players are simply not good enough to play, be it under Pep, Conte or whoever else. Pep is good coach, but his work is incredibly overrated. He gets all the cash he wants to build his teams, replaces half of players, buys foreign talents instead of growing club ones and despite all that, he got tacticaly outdone for past 4 seasons in CL. His bayern squad got injured alot, despite apart from Robben and Thiago, they were not injury prone. That says something about his training too. In my eyes barca was lucky to have him, he got chemistry going on, but he has to be even more lucky to have had barca squad back then. Have some faith in Conte who's style actualy suits premier league, has plan b and is proven to take average team to great one.

It was set for that from beggining. When Pogba got there and United plays 2 man pivot. That was clear as day it wont work. The thing is Pogba needs to move around, but Mou will limit him and I wont be surprised if Pogba wont play well at all. Thats why I was surprised when he actualy went to United, after all the talk he wants barca and play free attacking football. Ends up in double pivot next to Fellaini under Mou is just funny as hell haha.

Gotta respect how he reacted to his current situation.

We had terrible year and quite bad team. We signed Conte to fix that, but it will take time. You cant just bring in 6 players in one summer and start winning games. It takes fucking time. Could well be two years to actualy get all players Conte wants and sell deadwood. Yet here we are two months into and people already complaining. We are actualy improving on both ends, our defense is better than last season (that doesnt tell much tho), our midfield is faster, our attack creates more chances and players release ball quicker. Its all improvement. But obviously we wont be winning every game comfortably 3:0. Some of you lot are like the board. Want changes instantly. No time. No trust. Then you talk about youth and not changing managers every year. If that aint ironic.

Tbh he was always underrated in that aspect. Obviously he got clumsy everytime before taking shot, but his general play was not that bad at all.

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.

Still went as the only one to aplaud the fans. Class.

The haters already creeping out of their hideouts I see...

Firstly. Are any of these players available that we can buy? No they are not. There is no striker out there better than Costa and is available. Secondly. He is a striker. He scores goals. Why the fuck you imagine him being Messi when he is not, I will never know. He doesnt have play in him blah blah blah. He is a fuckin striker and he scores the fucking goals. As long he does that, he does his job perfect. Thirdly. His mentality. Sure he is hothead. But has more passion than the rest of squad together. If Oscar and Willian wouldnt wank around on every second touch, it would help alot. Those two are actualy midfielders and are supposed to have some play in them. Oh maybe people want another Torres, the nice handsome dude who has good ball control. But wait, back then people only wanted him to have striker who scores goals. Make up your mind people. Costa is not perfect, but seriously all talks about Suarez etc. Go fucking see his games when he misses 5 sitters and then still scores 3 goals because he plays in fucking barca with their CBs having better offense than out AMs. Seriously get the damn point. We aint top team at the moment, but Costa is the best striker we can have atm. We have to fix GK, defense and midfield before attack.
