LAM09 7,056 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Looks almost identical to last season. The board need to act fast to sort that shitshow of a defence out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the same tired, lame formation as we've been using for years. It's a 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 4-1-4-1. I'm taking bets. That ludicrous back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is Oscar wil play a deeper role. But when we're putting pressure on the opponent in the final 3rd, it's essentially the same thing.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Jesus Christ, it's basically the same team we've been seeing the past 3 years. Conte wanting to "assess" these players first is going to be his downfall. I like the Kante & Batshuayi signings but if I'm honest I think the entire team bar Courtois & Hazard is dispensable.

Wouldn't go that far but 4 players in that I wouldn't mind never seeing play for us again. Depressing after the builup Ive given us in my head.

Not even close the way the 4-3-3 works is completly different of course a lot depends on the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The sack Conte crowd is already sharpening their tools Gonna be a fun ride. Hope Carlo already adviced him about a possible next destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 With Baba gone we've actually got worse in defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Maybe if Ivanovic gets burned for pace a few times today Conte will see what all of us have for the last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I hope Matic is the one sitting deep in midfield. If it's Kante I can't help but feel he's being wasted there, should be one of the two CMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cescy just needs time and space to do his joib. Matic/Mikel etc doesnt give it him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
