Fabregas, yes yes, ok. Oscar... Jesus (Navas), Mohammed (Salah) and Moses (Victor). I WAS LIKE WTF DUDE And then comes Buddha, and then I realized...

And the club didn't get anyone one except their choice at last minute window. He knew the team was crap but the club didn't do much. kellzfresh and 11Drogba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Share Posted September 30, 2016 11 hours ago, Special Juan said: Transition is constant for us because of the amount of managerial changes we make. We will not be stable until a manager is allowed to implement their ideas and structure. It's the different style of managers that is hurting us, much much more than the number. We don't have a football philosophy and that's the worst aspect about this club. Jumping from a Mourinho to an Ancelotti in matter of 2 years just shows this board lacks any sort of direction and is just looking for short term success.

Popular Post! !Hazard! 3,394 Posted September 30, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted September 30, 2016 I don't think the squad is as bad as you guys make it sound. Sell of the deadwood, buy 3 top top players and bring in 3 of our best youth players from loan and suddenly it is a proper squad. Because of the amount of serious talent on loan and in the academy, and because of the fact that many players like Matic, Oscar, Pedro and Fabregas still have significant re-sale value, "a total overhaul" won't be as expensive as it might sound. A core of Courtois, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Kante, Hazard and Costa is actually really good. The question is, will the board be able to attract world class players and are they even willing to spend outrageous amounts on few individuals? Last thing the board needs to do is what Spurs did after selling Bale and what Liverpool did after selling Suarez. Buying bunch of mediocre players for £20-30m won't do the job. Instead, the focus should be on couple of world class players. Muzchap, Fernando, MefiX19 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot keep expecting miracles - the club has been badly run for ages and we are now reaping what we have sowed. We need to identify a football philosophy (it pains me to say, as Man City have) and then shape the club , Acadamy, coaches and players to suit that philosophy. The constant chopping and changing is doing us no favours! I believe this might actually be a reality under Conte as long as Roman can keep his itchy finger buried somewhere!

dimmas 131 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I just dont understand To attacking the opponent, our left side (where hazard plays) most of the time is his best weapon when comes to attack. But why he for so many games let hazard surround by useless player when attack ?? Hazard didnt have any help at all. No one to create good linkup. What he have around him is a inverted fullback which barely make overlap run, far from good to support like natural lb. Hardly create spaces or make excellent 1-2 combination. And Matic oh my god i dont know what to say anymore Midfielder who consistently clueless and akward on the ball, poor tehcnique, didnt have passing range, cannot shoot, not really intelegent, slow and pathetic when get any pressure. Why just why ?? So unfair when compare to sanchez and sterling situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Finally played a formation he knows best. I hope dropping ivanovic was for real, that would be fantastic. And most importantly, I hope he gives kante more freedom to go forward and play box to box like today and tells Matic to sit back and play the holding role, because that suited them perfectly. Small positive steps at least. Fernando, xPetrCechx and Blue-in-me-Veins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually argue we do have a football philosophy in our Academy Coaches and Academy players. The problem is, the Board and Roman don't want to commit to that philosophy for whatever reason when it comes to the First team. Either they hire the wrong managers for possesion based football (Mourinho Mark II, Roberto Di Mateo) or Hire the right manager for that style of play but don't arm him with the correct players for that style (AVB, and Conte).

Fair point - but our loan style is haphazard to say the least and not really helping any players break through - I guess that is linked to the first team manager spot being a merrygoround every season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do a lot of damage in three seasons. Conte to me continues to show his good. Only reason to sack is if your bad and the only bad we had that merited short term sacking was Scolari and di Matteo. After that everyone should have had at least 3 years. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I have misgivings about perfomance against Hull. First half the team was REALLY bad and was easily one of the most unisnpired performances I've seem since AVB days. 2nd half the team really improved, but great goals from Willian and Costa came from individual plays, and most of our chances in the 2nd half came from long shots from outside the box. To be fair the team looked solid at the back, and there is no doubt Zouma, Terry and Luiz will make the back 3 when all of them are available.
