Have supported him all the way up until now. Terrible tactics and subs. 

 

 

Same but today... The subs... Lack of subs.. Lateness of subs!! Just that!!

They won't sack him until we're officially out of running for the top 4.

That may well be after our soon CL and FA Cup elimination too.

Inevitable.

After the result today we are unnoficially out. Big chance that we will be 5 points away the top 4 next week...

Which we pretty much are. Liverpool have turned a corner on another level.. Spurs.. Who knows and us we're just pissing around doing who knows what. 

Guess won't be seen like that but even so... 

Maybe a miracle happen and somehow win it.. Hah hah hah not!

Eden Hazard, literally the only magic player in our ranks, constantly being subbed off with at least 15-20 minutes to go. Today a minute later, we conceded. Served us fucking right.

Hazard is immune to everything, isn't he?

Urm, no. But there is a higher probability of creating something when he is on the pitch.

Out Mourinho'd today. Could tell Mourinho was the more confident -his psychological patting and hugging our players in the tunnel, handshake etc . 

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Seriously unsure if he'll last if City pump us and we go out against Barca in a similar manner. If he gets us past Barca, okay he'll probably get more of a chance to try take us as far as he can go in the CL but starting to think if he doesn't leave at the end of the season, then maybe he gets sacked. We've lost v Bournemouth, Watford, United in space of like 5 weeks, throw in maybe getting beat by City and Barca... not sure what the big man up top will be contemplating.

No but you can't sub him out in this sort of game at 1-1. There's literally no way to rationalize it. He wasn't good in the 2nd half but was really impressive in the 1st. Why sub out a player that can create something from nothing and leave Morata on the pitch who was beyond abysmal. Leave Giroud on the bench. Bring on an underperfoming Pedro. It's not the 1st time Conte is doing that. Awful decison making and subs. The man doesn't know what he's doing anymore. 

Trying to rationalize him taking off Hazard is truly insane. Sanchez was an abomination today but you didn't see Mourinho trying to take him out at 1-1. No top 4, CONTE OUT.

It's all ifs and buts, no? Hazard started OK but faded away. Wasn't doing anything to justify staying on. When he had chances to shoot, he doesn't take them. Didn't fare much better in 1 v 1s either.

Just like when we turn Mourinho over at the Bridge. Jekyll and Hyde situation here.

Hazard: 4 key passes 4 successful dribbles 1 assist 3 big chances created . That's more than okay. 

Your new thing of trying to underrate Hazard is not very clever  and maybe a bit attention seeking. Morata should have been off before him. He has no business subbing out Hazard

Not to mention he is constantly winning fouls, giving us chances from free kicks.

I don't necessarily disagree with you on Conte's sub management because I thought it was shit, along with his in-game tactical management. But was he wrong to take Hazard off? I don't think so. Wasn't affecting the game in any way. Plus, what I don't get is people's constant need to criticize the manager - Conte or not - when they do something that will seemingly upset Hazard. It's as if we're Eden Hazard FC and not Chelsea FC.
