Without even taking this into the equation, did you see him in an interview the other day? He looked totally broken, like a kid who's just been told to fuck off.

Seen that unfortunately. I've been watching City and United on their tour too and their level is above, for sure. I'm sure Antonio is watching opponents friendly matches and thinking about being failed BIG by the club so far. I would really hate to see him leaving because he's so good as coach and very likable as a person.

Any hints on how to find that video? What was the interview related to?

From pre-season, it seems we will not playing with 2 strikers and 3 CM. Conte looks like prefer to have an established players also. The way he said he has no choice to played Morata on the wing, make me think we will sign another winger, even if Musonda staying. Matic leaving, there is a good chance we will sign another CM. As much as we loved Kante, he will not start every single match in 4 competitions, and Fabregas starting against top teams would struggled. Think it will be a winger, another CM, and a wing back Conte will asked the Board to sign next.

I saw it on tv. It was like highlights of the interview. He talked about preseason, tiredness, lack of quality players in the team and on the bench (in)directly... Simon Johnson said this perfectly  ''dejected, demoralized and frustrated''.

"The Evening Standard reporter, Simon Johnson,  who was in Asia throughout Chelsea’s preseason tour, reports manager Antonio Conte is dejected, demoralized and frustrated after a tough preseason without major summer arrivals."

Bad, worse, (?)!

If true Conte will turn everything into anger and will to win as he has always done.

I'm starting to worry now, really worry. We are now hearing the words "Tired" We are now selling like no tomorrow, players are leaving at a serious rate of speed right now and we have only brought in Morata, Bakayoko and Rudiger.

It seems, and I say seems because I can only use what I read as a yard stick, that nigh on every player we go for/ are linked to immediately becomes not available or sold elsewhere. Are the board penny pinching with all these sales and thinking towards the new stadium rather than squad investment? That's what I think, I think as it stands right now this squad looks horrendous, not just that but so fucking weak.

Yes a month to go, but even less for the season to start. We could be one or two injuries/suspensions away from complete disaster here.

Agreed. This squad in its current shape will struggle to finish in top 4 and do anything meaningful in CL. I am also worried about the negative vibes coming out from our camp, according to reports Conte is getting increasingly frustrated and that is evident from his out-of-character outbursts, he isn't acting like the man from last season.

weird how things went down hill so quickly after that first friendly v. arsenal and the signing of Morata. At that point all seemed rosy and it looked like we would get a bunch of other transfers in but instead we signed no one and lost twice while playing like shit... This is worrying but I do think that the board, roman and for sure conte are aware of the dangerous situation the club is in right now and are working overtime behind the scenes to get some players in. 

I feel like every summer we are in a mad panic to sign players, jumping from one target to the next, to the next, all of which seem to be randomly targeted as we going along, rather than part of a plan put in place months before... Maybe a lot of prem clubs are like this to some extent but it seems our planning for each transfer period is very poor, especially compared to man city for example who it seems decided on their targets a long while ago and where ready to get them as soon as the transfer window opened.

Overall I'm obviously a bit down on the current situation but I still think that we will get a few players in before the deadline, hopefully top quality ones (Simon Johnson of the evening standard is reporting that we are close on 2-3 targets, for what it's worth) and also, importantly, if we win against arsenal to avoid the comparisons to start 2015-2016 season, everything will quickly turn around.

These outburts are actually the real Antonio Conte. In Serie A, Antonio Conte was prime Mourinho in his press conferences. Always taking shots at anybody that criticized his team or himself. 

It was only the language barrier that kept him from speaking freely, last season. 

Not saying he isn't dissapointed and angry at the current situation, but Conte was a badmon in Serie A.
