Hahaha I saw that 😂😂😂 reap what you sow - hope Jose bankrupts them, at this rate that will be January!!! Waiting for his little horse comments 😂😂😂

I still think he is bang average and nowhere near the level we need Hes just faded away - after the CL goal I thought what a player and my hopes were high that we had plucked a gem out of nowhere. Now I just think - oh it's Oscar - bet he fucks up this simple pass and guess what he does The guy obviously has skill and ability - it has to be a mental issue - I'm just not sure he has 'vision' or 'anticipation' in his locker - that's what sets the great players apart from the average. He just doesn't seem to be decisive when he gets the ball - he always seems caught in two minds. I wonder if a sports psychologist could re-train him? I would love him to have a barnstorming season, for me to eat my words and to see this thread implode - but most of all because it would guarantee us CL...

Exactly and @Tomo great point well made. That's what made Utd so successful under Fergie - they never gave up - ever! I think Conte knows this and come the end of the season, we will see a Chelsea team capable of fighting for 95+ mins. I like how he has motivated the team, his pressers and all round attitude. To think some are unhappy with him just defies belief

Maybe it's because he's young and entitled. I'm sure he will mature and will benefit from Conte, like he did at Atletico. He needs to let his football do the talking - but the same could be said of many of our players.

Anybody complaining about Conte already is delusional plain and simple. We were dogshit last season - fact we are now Good/Average - that's a huge leap! If he can do the same again next season - we will be in a great place! this season is al about Top4 - that's our aim - to expect anything more is just crazy. Conte is doing a decent job - International breaks always fuck up our momentum. Onwards and upwards!

Why do you think he joined City? He's not a stupid bloke - City needed a few signings to be a really great team. Chelsea needed at least 5-6 signings and the team individually is below that of City Our team struggles with passing and moving - we are slow and static - we have no desire to make angles and give the person on the ball options. This will improve - but it takes time and a change of personnel - we need Cahil and Iva dropped, Azpi on the right and new guy (again) on left we need Cesc + Kante in midfield. As for today - their goal was a foul on Cahil - no surprise Marriner didn't see it - easily one of the most useless refs around we should have scored 4-5 - it has been a perennial problem. Hazard, Willian & Oscar do not score anywhere near enough goals. The improvements will be slow and painful - but as long as we are improving I'm happy.

I call bullshit Fabregas is the only player we have with vision - selling him would be a huge mistake in Jan... Unless they can bring in a quality number 10 in the same window and a midfielder to sit alongside Kante (unless Matic, the real Matic, finally decides to turn up)

Darren Anderton was the one I remember most

The gulf between youth and senior is just too great - there has to be a better system, but for now we are stuck with what is on offer. Loans are definitely the only way to really test a player right now. I agree with your analysis - I think it's just the romance of it that makes people over-appreciate the players ability. I have no doubt though that we will produce a couple of outstanding players.

Him and Silva rotated the No.10 position jesus - why we sold him I will never know

I still love Frank - sure he made a mistake - but who hasn't - that boy played his socks off for us season in season out - we still haven't replaced him and likely never will - a true one in a lifetime player and thank fuck we had him

Cool - just donated - keep up the good work, but skint this month, but will try for more in the future

Jesus I live in Peterborough - can't believe so many fans arrested ! I think it was the Millwall game Actually - I can, they aren't the brightest screws in the box Can't believe we are in the CL place - bet Arsenal fans are pissed off ???

Yeah Jose is for Jose - everybody else can fuck off - that's just him His personality has definitely changed and he's more bitter now - he's like Emperor Palpatine - the dark side is consuming him...

So much negativity - give the lad a chance having a player in position will be a massive bonus (The best position is Iva on the bench) You can't really compare his previous performances - there's no guarantees in football - people probably thought the same about Kante before last season - you just never know.. Look at Fonte - bang average then finds some good form has a decent euros and press are loving him.. Fickle business football! We just need to be patient and give the lad a chance !

The more this sinks in the happier I am we need some passion and fight in the team - not the limp performances of last season all of our defenders have a mistake in them - as do all other teams defenders - I just have a feeling this time round he will be a little more polished. I'm definitely looking forward to him and Zouma in defence - two big crazy characters Well done to all involved for rescuing the transfer window - decent signings, decent money - impressed - I know I have been massively critical - but fair's fair - I was wrong and should have had more belief, I think last season jaded me more than I care to admit! Lets keep the pressure up on those Northern Monkeys and if the draw - we could be top after next game Roll on!!! p.s. Please try to cheer up forum - last year is gone, look to the future

To be fair Watford and WH are hardly yardsticks - WH are dire with 3-4 of their decent players missing... Our defence against City is what worries me - they will tear us open ivanovic is either CB or on the bench - he's just not quick enough now for FB position and is always caught in the wrong place. Cahil is also shaky, so Iva and Terry until Zouma returns....

Is this still going on? Close the thread - not coming - end of...

History would have this nailed on over a defender of any worth ???

Get him gone - ASAP - bang average player

Actually - all football in the UK is ultimately governed by the Football Association - even amateur pub football. It is ridiculous and 4 years is a long time when people are 'growing up' Sour grapes from the scousers

No offence but even Stevie Wonder can see we need defenders Prices are already doubled and tripled to previous seasons - it's just how it will be from now on, the sooner youth starts to get a game, the better

The whole world is losing money... Seriously? No wonder we get called 'plastic' with comments like that... The guy is building a stadium, has pumped nearly a billion into the club and because he hasn't secured your FM/FIFA targets - he's lost interest and should sell out? I cannot honestly believe what I am reading - yes I sometimes get annoyed with the club and the way it is run, but I understand and appreciate how close we were to not being a club. I think you need a history lesson to gauge some perspective. I would rather promote our Acadamy players than pay £50 million for above average players. If that means a few seasons without trophies whilst we get our nice conveyor belt of youth working, then so be it. we are sitting on a gold mine of young players - who now might get a chance because of the exorbitant prices in the market - who'd have thought this would have been the catalyst? FFP was supposed to - but that backfired! Good ole Freakanomics...

Average player? You're having a laugh surely? Yes, he was shit at Liverpool but at Villa he was a very good player. He has a proven scoring record in the Prem. I would have had him here at that money...

I meant in his younger years - under Arsene
