Antonio Conte has claimed Chelsea’s critics are right not to rate them among the favourites to win this season’s Premier League title and again suggested that his squad is not equipped to compete with Manchester City and United.

Another one of those second Seasons.

Plus and minuses of a dictator I'm afraid..... Conte will have had enough by Christmas and it all starts again. 

The revolving door is starting to spin.....

He's not going to last the season, is he? I could see him walking, to be honest. The fact he signed a new deal without committing any further time to the club, suggests both parties want to keep their options open. Obviously Conte is not the yes-man who answers to Emenalo that the board want. Anyone up for Hiddink Round 3?

Thing is who would take the risk and want to replace him? Be such a under pressure job with little players to work with and seeing the fact your unlikey to get the players you need to strengthen.

So much potential and yet again...off he'll go...

Thomas Tuchel :ph34r:

If you're a young manager, you would take the risk at Chelsea.  Worst thing that could happen is you'll be sacked in a few months and a nice payout (e.g. Villas-Boas).

Some journo's are blaming Conte these smug fuckers haven't a clue. Oliver Holt is an off the scale prick who looks like a shit version of Noel Gallagher.

He just have an unpopular opinion that Chelsea is doing good in transfer window and Conte has no reason to be that unhappy.  I agree with all of his points.

Conte did great last season, but Im afraid he is a one trick manager. It seems he relies on 3CB system. Yesterday the team was playing at home against relegation bound Burnley. One CB received red. He replaced one attacking player with another CB. Then besideds the back 3 or 5, we had a mid with Fabregas and Kante plus Willian and Batshuay. The 2nd half was entertaining due to teams fight spirit, bu the final minutes aside, the team never kept Burnley under pressure.

We should discuss tatics and football instead of silly talk about the board lacking ambition. Anyone who think the team need to spend more 200m to dont get embarrassed by Burnley should stop writing stuff about football.
