The Conte Thread

[zekinjo 449]

Interesting from Conte, what he said about Giroud. I hope he wanted him. I’m “only” concerned about who is going to supply him with assists. Still thinking the same about Morata. When Azpi works Morata scores. Midfielders offers less or nothing and there you have a problem too.

Completely agree with you, I think one big problem in the team is that there is no decent midfielder next to Kante, he is amazing player, but he is not great going forward, but because of the donkeys that are playing next to him, he has to do that part of the game also. Can't believe the club wasted almost 80mln for two midfielders who can't complete 2 passes in a row.

But this is what we have. Too much moaning about our players but defensive minded tactis are still there and it seems that Conte likes those kind of midfielders... He could start Barkley in midfield alongside Kante and Hudson Odoi as winger but he is too predictable. 

Kante - Bakayoko and 3 at the back could only work with offensive allaround wingbacks so I don't understand why Willian and Pedro are not played there sometimes..

True...3:5:2 system is shit for me, but right now its only way to fit in Cesc who is along Eden only one who can create something. 

We desperately need to either go back to 4:3:3 or bring absolutely world class RW and wingbacks for 3:4:3 to work on regular basis. 

Its clear that we absolutely need two top top quality wingbacks. Alonso and Moses are allright, but we need best ones here. The system depends on them too much to be ignored. Emerson can be good but it will take time, hopefuly next season.

Shame the board didnt get any quality winger like Bailey. He needs some adjustment time, it would be perfect to get him in january, so he would be ready for next season and maybe even add some flash uptop this season.

Have genuinely encountered people on Twitter wanting Brendan Rodgers to replace Conte. Brendan FUCKING Rodgers.

This is how social media make people depressed. It is a freak show.

I heard that dickhead Palmeri on the radio for the first time last week, what a fucking cock.

Conte has got some questions to answer. Another hamstring injury apparently and that's the EIGHTH one this season!

I guess our players are dead-lifting too much, DAMN THOSE HAMMIES!

One week, Conte moans about not signing players. The next, he moans about signing too many.

"I think now we must be realistic and understand what our level is," Conte said. "Now we have to struggle to fight for a Champions League place. That is the top [priority]. We must be strong to accept this type of situation.

"Then, in the future, if there is the possibility [to strengthen], you have to try to buy only two or three players -- not eight players. Don't forget, this summer we brought in eight players and spent a lot less than other teams who bought only two or three."

Chelsea currently lie fourth in the Premier League, 19 points adrift of City after 25 matches.

Conte has described the setbacks his team have encountered this season as proof that the club is in a transition period, having lost influential veterans like Petr Cech, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Petr Cech and Branislav Ivanovic in recent years, replacing them with younger faces.

"We are in a moment that we have to create a basis," Conte added. "We have to build something important. To do this, you must have 15 or 16 players. In the summer we changed eight players. That means you don't have a basis, a great foundation. We must have great patience to understand the moment.

"We lost strong, experienced players in the last few years, so we must have patience to understand that, now, we have to appreciate the moment, be realistic, create a basis and then build something important to face big challenges with the other teams."

I think he indicated that over last transfer windows we actually needed those 8 players for depth, rotation and replacing those who left, but we don't anymore - now we can focus solely on bringing quality.

He is actually always talking about building something for long term, to build strong foundation. But let's ignore that, right? Who cares if our coach wants to build something important for whole next decade? Let's just focus on his criticizing.

There's no need to get all touchy about Conte whenever someone says something negative.
