Jase 43,479 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Have to say, for all the good things Conte is doing, he's quite questionable when it comes to making substitution. Could have been sitting here and talking about points dropped had it not been for Pedro and Fabianski. Unionjack and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,534 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yeah there has been some odd choices. He did have a habit of making late ones so least stopped doing that..just bit hmmm at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted February 25, 2017 some people should be banned from this thread... honestly. Is the expectation for Conte to be perfect? He's already making something out of the this world with the players we have. Nobody could predict this team could have turned out to be this solid and that's down to Conte and how he works to maximize players' strengths and minimize their weaknesses. That's down to the manager, who has a great environment, deals the disgusting media with grace and class, set the players on fire, found a system that works with players such as Alonso, Matic, Moses, Pedro - that have their positives, but also many limitations. He recovered players such as Hazard - who had the worst season of his life last year, Costa, Cahill, Luiz (even if he was out, he was the same as he was here). Gave solidness to our defense without compromising the attack. He basically made 3-4-3 a thing again, didn't invent it, but refreshed it. Now we must nitpick on his faults. Ok, I don't like his fake hair (although better than bald, he wouldn't make baldness work), he looks really weird in some candid pictures, and worst of all, he doesn't sleep well because of football. I have minor critics to some decisions, I just don't see the point of bringing them up when he's doing much better than expected, none of them compromise and there is no thing such as perfect people, perfect professionals.

Popular Post! Pizy 18,897 Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted February 25, 2017 Give the man whichever targets he desires in the summer and keep hold of our key players and we'll be right in there with a chance for the CL trophy. Just imagine how good we'll be with slight upgrades in a few positions... We'll have an insane amount of money to spend, a manager who gets the best out of even average players, and the lessons learned from the last time we won the title and didn't invest. He deserves to get whichever realistic targets he requests if he delivers a title in his first season, dramatically outperforming our target of a CL place.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Maybe we should just shut down the forum. I mean, what's the point of having one if people can't even mention a legit point. Chelsea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted February 25, 2017 A team that came 10th last season and looked clueless and disinterested. 12 months later we have an eleven point lead and are playing some scintillating football and that's down to Conte and people still aren't happy well what the fuck sort of expectations do you have ?. It's just moaning for the sake of it and it makes us as Chelsea fans look spoilt and ungrateful. Did anyone honestly think in August that we'd be in this sort of position come the end of February no of course fucking not so stop whinging and get behind the team.
