Restart the season with Caballero as number 1 instead, and i doubt there's any more than 3 extra goals conceded by this point - with the added bonus that the player isn't a cock.

It's important to remember we jerked around a great, proven member of staff because of him.

Today I learned Conte had a one-off lead role in an American Western movie.

I don't think it can be argued that in the past, sometimes teams including ourselves, have improved in play once down to 10-men. So surely it's allowable to earmark certain games when this phenomena could potentially benefit us. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

And the next manager will have to build a whole new vision Get to know the players all a newLearn who's good, who isn'tall over again

Tottenham have a higher net spend than us in the past 2 seasons yet Poch should join us due to Tottenham being cash-starved and us being cash-rich? The POV put across for 2 of these 3 managers is, 'We have money, so they'll be good!'

Chelsea should replace Conte with one of these 3 managers who i specifically believe are the right choices not just random (see: most popular) names floating around the papers

I can't believe i suggested he was at least good.

(quoted post from July 2017)

'Opta tell us at 70.3%, Antonio Conte has the joint-best win rate of any manager in Premier League history (minimum five games), level with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.' Add that to your crack pipes & smoke it.

i swear i never see you guys post anything positive i think a professional board know more than you some people here want to judge a player before seeing him, but you'll see, he'll be fantastic

BUT HES JUST A SCAPEGOAT!!!!!!!

We're like an ex-boyfriend who had it all but threw it away for face tattoos.

We're genuinely a better side now with 10 men, considering the only way to have 11 is with Bakayoko. My confidence in winning this game has shot up. I'd expect a big win still if Giroud was on.

Agreed. Put on a torture rack, whipped, spat on, slapped. All of it.

Personally i'm starting to find Bakayoko's mental disabilities endearing.

On that bench are 3 players i'd be underwhelmed to see come on. What are the chances all 3 subs are them.

''It meant a final position of seventh – Roma’s lowest position in a decade – and failure to qualify for European competition. Luis Enrique declared that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, stating: “I had another year on the contract but didn’t feel that I had any more to give Roma. It let me see other players and other ways of playing the game.”'' https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/07/11/if-rome-wasnt-built-in-a-day-luis-enrique-and-a-season-in-italy/

Luis Enrique is literally the least qualified manager we've been linked to under Roman, full stop. He got his first proper gig (Roma manager) because they were desperate for apparent quality, and saw that 'Barcelona B's' manager was available. They wouldn't have gone for him had he managed any regular side - it was the Barcelona tag which did it for them - and he brought 0 genius, experimental, 0 progressive energy with him. So anyway, that tenure only lasted 1 year. Couldn't even last beyond a year with Roma. They expected beautiful Barcelona football; they got more like average, Genoa-tier football. After failing with Roma, 1 fine season with Celta Vigo. Then back to his previous club, to win a few trophies with Suarez/Messi/etc. The worst managers in the world could achieve this same story. Absolutely universes away from being good enough for the Chelsea we're supposed to be. His quality would barely have us fighting for top 4. Juventus went from Conte to Allegri (sickening enough, I surely wouldn't be able to take it.) Imagine they went from Conte to Luis Enrique instead [emoji38] But they take their club seriously.

Finally

People put so much stock into age. Bakayoko gets 2 seasons before judgement, Drinkwater's bad after around 5 and a half games. I don't know how Rudiger ends up 'very good' after just a handful. Lass Diarra would contribute more to our midfield, now and for the next 2-3 seasons.

Borini would get 15+ goals a season in that Dortmund side.

But did we really expect him to become a celebrity TV chef half way through the season?
