The Conte Thread

When Conte goes, we need to employ someone who wants his team to take initiative and be the bully. Someone who is about attacking and asserting dominance. No more rigid structure and setting up to contain first and hoping for chances here and there.

I've loved Conte and his passion but it's clear he's lost it at Chelsea. I think if he's given a better chance to succeed at a more ambitious club he'll be back at the top in no time. Maybe PSG or Milan.

Mr Abramovich ...Please tell what you want to see from chelsea football club....Is it attacking football? then please fucking hire an attacking coach

Abramovich doesn't want anyone telling him what to do. He thinks he knows everything there is about football. I think he actually likes it this way. The chaos and everyone pandering to his whim.

Maybe becuase they acted as auxillary fullbacks which is what Conte and managers with his mentality fantasize about. They hate natural talent and flair but love the workhorse mentality. Conte is the gift that keeps on giving right now with his comments.

This man is going to drive away Hazard and Courtois as his final parting gift to Chelsea.

Roman cannot let that happen. 

I'm afraid damage is already done but we must try something to change the course of this club. And that starts by sacking Conte immediately. A more attack-minded interim coach could play 4-3-3 with this squad for the rest of the season.

Courtois

Azpilicueta - Christensen - Rudiger - Emerson

Kante - Fabregas/Drinkwater - Willian

Pedro - Giroud - Hazard

Today was a really hard watch. I can, to a degree, accept us losing badly to Bournemouth or Watford as every team will have a bad performance or get whacked now and again, but the set up and tactics of the team today I cannot accept whatsoever.

A huge amount of this problem lies with the board though. We have not had a plan since Abramovich brought the club. Two of our most successful managers during this time are Conte and Mourinho who, whilst they excel tactically, are both reserved and careful in their tactics and set up of the team. Managers that set up in a more attack minded approach usually need more time to bring their style across to the team and need round pegs in round holes to suit this style. We have shown that we are not prepared to offer managers either.

Even Guardiola was afforded time at City because it was not something he could achieve overnight. People forget that City only just limped into the top 4 last season.

I want to see changes next season, but that isn't just the manager, the whole club needs to change its approach and develop a project which hopefully in 2 or 3 seasons time give us a team that will play attack minded football and look to force their approach on even the best teams, rather than worry about the opposition. City buying someone like Sane and giving him the time and patience to develop and gain confidence is bearing fruit...if only we had done this with the likes of Salah, De Bruyne and Lukaku.

That's what couldn't understand. It wasn't like first half we were in control and just unlucky. We didn't have a sodding chance or a shot or really a string of passes that didn't go back to a City player. Yet no subs till to late. Didn't get it!!

Just watched his post match press conference. He really doesn't give a shit anymore does he. 

"Pedro and Willian played a fantastic game" Really ? No player had a fantastic game. Especially Pedro who had an absolute shocker.

Lost count of the amount of counters he fucked up by mishitting simple passes. 

The way we set up just pisses me off soo much. No attempt to win, no believe whatsoever that we could win just hoping we keep the score down to an "acceptable" amount.

Also, re: comments about potentially being 3 or 4 goals down at halftime - losing 0-1 today sure felt worse than any trashing we have ever experienced. Losing 0-3 against Bournemouth or 1-4 against Watford this season felt terrible but at least we were simply shit in those games. Today, however, we didn't even belong on the same pitch as City.

Starting XI was ok, he wanted to "pull a Barcelona" one more time and he was right to try it. But ofc he should have changed things at least in 60. minute. Again, reacting too late.

But hell, they are 100 times better than us, it would have hardly changed anything. We are shit, there is no tactical magic that could cover that.
