The Conte Thread

[Irakozium257 350]

The thought of lots of Stockholm syndrome sheep chanting his name at the stadium if we're winning against Crystal Palace sickens me more than the thought of drinking tea/coffee with salt in it. He has killed team morale, he oozes of apathy. What more before enough is f*cking enough? Any caretaker will save our season at this stage.

I don't understand all the criticism regarding the defensive approach as if we actually had a chance against that City side!

United were criticized for the same tactics against them, but Arsenal were also criticized for using the opposite approach.

If we lose 1-0 we'll be called coward and gutless. If we lose 5-0 we'll be called spineless and shaky.

It's not about how bad we are, it's about how good they are. People are acting like this is the City from last season, it absolutely is not.

You are embarrassing yourself here. Defensive approach is completely different from what we saw today. I dont have the gif right now, there were some moments that were easily the most embarrassing thing I've ever see in football: City calmly exchanging passes in the midfield and Chelsea's players passively watching. Im not afraid to say that was by a country mile the most harmless opposition City face the whole season.

This "I don't have the players to challenge for trophies" rethoric seems a little foolish to me. If you are a cook and you need to make a cake, but you do not really have ingredients of the best quality, you still need to try and make that cake. Because it's your duty. Plus, nobody asks Conte to challenge for trophies. We  are desperately hoping for the team to challenge for points and for a top 4 finish.  

I understand that he is not happy about the way the board handled the previous two windows, but it is what it is. His duty is to give his best in order to get things going. Is he doing that? I am not sure, but it doesn't seem like it. I don't know what needs to happen. It would be sad to sack him, as he brought a lot of enthusiasm on the Bridge last season, but if he's not willing to make a change and to accept that he can't always get what he wants (specially with the Chelsea board behind), then it's probably better to let go.

He's basically replicating Wenger's tenure at Arsenal, only instead of doing it in twenty years he's doing it in two.

The speed in which our fans turn on the manager is appalling. We deserve the shit storm that’s coming our way.

Players don't get free passes because of the past, so why should managers? Conte has done a poor job this season no matter what way it's spun.

We all know he’s going at the end of the season, but do you think Abramovich and the Board might get rid of him before Palace next Saturday? Nothing would surprise me, but who would come in? Ancelotti until the end of the season? Bidding for a 3rd caretaker spell?!

You know things are really when Tomo starts saying things like that...

Yes they do. Torres got a free pass for quite some time only and only thanks to his past. If he was a random no-name he wouldn't have been afforded 4 weeks let alone 4 years.

I think people are wrong to conflate him having the hump with not bothering to change anything in a game for 80 odd minutes.

He deserves the benefit of the doubt for the former, but not the latter.

as sad as it is to say, conte out! He's lost the dressing room, tries to show everyone what a thin squad he has seemingly at all times (we get it conte, it's not ideal) rather than focusing on getting the best results out of his players, he gives off an air of "what can I do? we're fucked anyways because of the board", he's isolated luiz for seemingly no reason (pretty sure luiz' injury isn't the only reason we haven't seen him a while), he handled the Costa situation very poorly, now he's mishandling eden hazad by playing him out of position all the time and subbing him off bizarrely, at the most crucial juncture of our club's relationship with eden.... he needs to go ASAP

Conte is saying he's not being given the dough and it's giving him the kneadle

He really screw up with the Costa thing. 

But I will still give him next season. 

We need to give managers another chance to redeem themselves. It might change things with how we work.

That's because we're better than them at everything.

Christ! People still going on about that? Let's just pretend as if Costa hadn't wanted to leave!

Nah he handle it very bad. 

Conte is too infuriated. 

That was the beginning of his demise. 

Nonetheless I would still give him a go next season.
