He seemed timid on the touchline, not as many outbursts of punching/shouting/jumping about constantly. It looked to me as if he seemed intimidated almost, what the hell was up? A downside of Conte 'playing the game emotionally'? His demeanor was certainly weird yesterday, very similar to the one we saw at Arsenal.

There is a difference between a polite 'Could you repeat please?' and yesterday's reaction. I never implied the opposite of what you just said but your response has no meaning to my post. I don't understand your reaction at all. It seems to have just as little to do with what I said, as you tell me mine had to do with yours. We are clearly talking at cross purposes.

El P. 1,354 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 He knew we didn't stood a chance, United could've scored 3-4. I think, in his head, he was at our next game, United game became irrelevant after first half an hour. At least I was. We need to stop seeing things wrong, this team is, individually, same or level below of other top 6 clubs. And whatever happens, Antonio did a great job, whether we win the title or not. He is the reason we are still first. I saw this coming, even in January when we didn't sign anyone. I KNEW that we must've strengthen back then, because we have massive chance to win the league. Either on striker, wingbacks, centrebacks or midfield position, I was begging to bring someone in, even to force a transfer and overpay it. But, nothing happened, and we are stuck with what we have. Can't believe, in the season when it is so clear that opportunity for win it is so big, we are with only 2 decents wingbacks, and Diego Costa at the top with no decent replacement. We are always one injury away from being shit. January was a big failure in my eyes, and I don't know who should take blame for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that simple to beat us if you have decent players to do it? Is this why all the top 5 expect City (in which should have killed us at the Etihad) and Spurs/United home (where Mourinho claimed it went to pan in the 1st minute) - managed to successfully stop us? All they do is press us really hard and we crumble. We struggle keeping the ball against the better teams. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think I'd say this but wish we had Brana yesterday. Did the board expect smooth sailing for the rest of the season? I understand the decision to wait for the right targets to become available in summer, but they must not put blame on Conte if we bottle it. When we need to play Pedro or Moses at LWB you know this squad is not good enough. bluephoenix and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all averagae players though who fans had been wanting gone for many years before they were finally offloaded. Neither of the three would have helped us against United.

Most of our squad is average, would it be okay to ship them all and not replace anyone? bluephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I think now when we won to bench Hazard was a tactical move from Conte. Spurs probably had a player who would have chased Eden all the game like Herrera did. It would have been hard for him. We managed to stay in the game and when the game is open it was the best time to bring in Hazard. Also, Conte was worried that this game can go to extra time so 120mins would have been hard. Well done Antonio, was well prepared for this game! King11Didier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The Hazard on the bench decision is still a strange one. I'll be interested to know Conte's thought process for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Nobody was prepare for Michy. They need to take him in different way then with Costa. This for good call. After Hazard and Costa in we have some Control and when Fabs go in we have full control. These are 3 ket players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
