Special Juan

I wasn't plumbing for Silva, I actually think that is what this idiotic board would do.

You are spot on, I have been saying it for months and even years, the shake has to come from elsewhere and not the manager. They have not backed Conte despite popular belief, had they done so he wouldn't be moaning now. It all comes down to penny pinching and stop gaps, that is why we are not moving forward like we should. Conte has exactly the right identity we need in a manger. He's smart, likeable, very good at his job, speak honestly and from the heart, he's passionate and he is also a man of pride. The club should be bending over backwards to keep this guy but they are driving him away and it's quite frankly hurtful to see.

Batshuayi is fucking rubbish, don't know about loaning him, just sell him, some fucker will take him.

Zappacosta replaced Moses last night......Just think about that for a minute. #whatafuckingmess

I'm going to say this now....I reckon he will do well to see out the next fortnight. Marco Silva

I watched the Roma game and let me tell you, Dzeko 's movement and reading of the game is absolute top quality still. The thing about him is, he doesn't just have one trait, he has a number of them and he's very good at them all. He runs the channels exceptionally well, he plays on the shoulder of the defender, his hold up play is exceptional and he is still massively dangerous. Right now he's walk into this team.

First class Marcos Alonso again last night....Offered fuck all, shit scared to get to the by-line and defends like a pissed OAP after a night playing Bingo.

That performance needs to be him at his worst, that's where we are at with this bloke. He was better but the problem being is I still do not have a clue what he actually is mean to do.

No leaders at all on the pitch, not one single person out there to get everyone by the scruff of the neck and pull them through the game, that was exactly what was required. The game itself started well, but once again we allowed them back into it and the fucking flukey goal happened. But what on gods green earth was happening from the marking at the corner? Monreal, who's one of the smallest players plus a few more just lined up waiting to head the ball, absolute joke. The lack of creativity in our midfield is another massive, massive concern. Bakayoko selected again, and whilst he wasn't the worst I have seen him it was like watching a kids team last night, no vision or idea of how to control a game against what was a very average side. It's quite unthinkable that we are now being dominated by a side such as Arsenal, it really infuriates me because they are a lot worse than us. Not sure, and cannot for one minute think that Conte's instructions last night to the back 4 were to send high and long every single time. The three front players who started are not even touching 6ft. The first ten minutes should of been the benchmark, get it down, play and expose them with pace and movement, but no, we just went fucking all out kamikaze and didn't look like we wanted to go to Wembley. I could say more but I am fucking furious.

Despite popular belief there are still footballers around with a bit of self respect and actually maybe he wants to leave a mark on Roma and say goodbye with a goal and possibly deciding their 4th spot. He doesn't strike me as a sulker like that twat Aubayemayang or whatever he's called.

More importantly what will it take to drop Bakayoko who is now slowly becoming an ever present in the side, despite shite performances week after week.

He doesn't trust Batshuayi, never has done, no reason to start now. I could argue the case but he has done nothing to convince Conte otherwise, just simply not good enough.

I can see it now...

Sounds like if agreement is reached with Dzeko before they KO tonight v Sampdoria, he will be benched and fly to London tomorrow.

He will start Bakayoko and Cahill.

And by the sounds of things won't be any Batman either, sounds like the false 9 again.

Not getting excited about him starting tonight, fully expect him to at least get his debut on Sunday in the FA Cup.

Too many loop holes and third parties involved in football now for deals to happen quick or run smoothly.

No surprise to me and shouldn't be to anyone else. The big picture is we have a big fucking massive stadium to build.

You are just giving yourself a constant headache by trailing through Twitter every hour. "He's on his way" "There is a glitch" "Not even close to being done"

Bakayoko will get another start tonight.
