The Conte Thread

[positivefootball 195]

Just realizing more and more how much this team is average when certain players are overplayed. Bakayoko and Cesc in midfield in relegation stuff. Alonso and Azpi overworked. Poor guy.

It does look as if the players are pulling another power play by jogging around the pitch and not taking the game seriously. If so they are a fucking disgrace to the badge and owe the fans a lot more. I won't put up with another Mourinho-esque saga. Travelling fans pay their good hard earned cash to watch these overpaid wankers throw a strop and under perform. If they don't like some of Contes decisions then tough fucking luck. Go and play for a mid table team where they need to play their best players despite their attitude... go play for a shitty little club who trains like what they are. I am sick of watching grown men acting like bitches at the cost of our money and time. Conte is a fantastic manager with player and game experience other managers just can't buy. These average footballers who should feel blessed they are wearing our shirt under whilst being managed by such a character. Who do they think they are? Seriously? We are not Real Madrid. I'd love to have a 30 minute sit down with some of these clowns.

That's what pisses me off everytime 'dont want to play for the manager' Grow up!!! In real life if don't like the manager you either leave or get on with it don't just think nahhh sod this! 

Like you said the fans make the effort turn in week in week out turn up for them! It's no excuse and if keeps happening then the problem needs to be addressed

If the players were trying to get Conte sacked then we would have lost the last 2 games. It's not power play that's going on. There's still fight in this team.

We just have a small squad hit with injuries that has a lot of average players and the system no longer masks that.

Nonsense.. I really don't think that's the case. 

We started off poorly in the league (plus we wont it last year) so I think in that sense the players are not as highly motivated as they could have been. We're also playing in Europe now plus that whole injury crisis thing..

This is nowhere near as bad as the Jose saga, we have to lose the next seven league games for thing's to be that bad, statistically at least. 

I think this player's downing tools thing is fantasy, the reason it went wrong under Jose was because he pushed the player's to the point of mental exhaustion with his intense behavior (and believe me, you can't give your best with a poor mental state no matter how hard you try). This season however it's a combination of many thing's, poor tactics by Antonio, injury's, player's off form, wingbacks getting found out. Unfortunately there does seem to be some truth in the player's not being happy with Conte but i certainly don't think they will start throwing games.

[Georgy 439]

Wonder what will happen if Conte does see out the season. Will he continue? I wouldn't honestly, he can always attract big money clubs like PSG and Milan while at Chelsea he got fucked in the ass 2 years in a row by the board. 

[Beigl 1,387]

Ranieri also won a Premier League and he managed that with Leicester.
Conte is actually an ultra limited manager in terms of tactics.

Lets not forget he won the league with Moses and Alonso as starters and a thin squad compared to the ones Guardiola and Mourinho have got.

[Miki-Liki 405]

Lol, I wonder which coach is supposedly tactically "unlimited".

I can only pray you are right. I will seriously lose my shit if this is the start of players downing tools. I wrote the previous post aftsr stewing on our first half performance. I did see some fight still in the lads.

This team/squad falldown has a lot of similarities to that Mourinho's, 2015. But Conte is managing it and coping much much better than Jose.

It's tough to say at the moment whether the players are still fighting for Conte or they are not downing tools. Statistically, we are not as bad as we were in 2015/16 but let's not forget, there were few times that season where we performed okay, got a positive result and thought things were on the up again, only to see it all went horribly wrong in the subsequent games. We may have fought back in the last 2 games to get a result but I would be wary about it.

[Jase 43,479]

She has some insight on things between the players and Conte.

Yeah agree with that. Think more a case of we're just bad at the moment then anything else but everyone knew it would happen soon as the window closed and seemed a bit ah. We've signed who?!

Just annoys me when that excuse is rolled out as has been before. For the reason it isn't a excuse! Or least shouldn't be everytime cracks appear. Don't wana play for the manager go play for someone else.

Im not sure, the only decent performances i can recall was Kiev away, Arsenal at home and to an extent West Brom away.  Porto, Tel Aviv, Walsall, Norwich and especially Villa we won because of how bad they were more than anything else.

I honestly don't remember a lot of positive results in the 2015-2016 season. There were a number of games where the performance was good-ish and it looked like we were going to get a positive result only to concede late and leave with 1 or no points.

If you followed other leagues you would know that we dont have many options like we had 5-10 years ago. We will rue the day Conte leaves Chelsea, for a very very long time.

[Jase 43,479]

It is disturbing that Klopp continues a free pass from the media despite all the mess at Liverpool (and he has been there for 2 years!) while Conte's job is on the line after 2 losses.
