closed Chelsea v West Ham

[Special Juan 27,629]

Conte

"We have a plan on players coming in, I speak to the club everyday"

"Happy with the group, they are working very hard"

"The music in the dressing room before a game is great, in Italy we didn't have that"

"If I was choosing the music it would be BOOM BOOM"

Dodged the question when asked how many players he wants to bring in.

Loved that press conference and love Conte already. You can just tell he lives and breathes football and is the right man to change the mentality of these players. While there likely isn't anything he can do to improve the terrible defense because that's more a case of skill rather than confidence, but players like Hazard, Matic, Oscar, and Costa will all excell under him again I think.

You can also tell he badly wanted to talk publicly about transfer targets but has to remain tight lipped.

[Special Juan 27,629]

Very relaxed, very laid back and very well spoken.

Just what I'd like to see, not what I expect to see.

 

[Pizy 18,553]

My prediction. A 4-3-3. Need steel and numbers in midfield to combat West Ham. No way should Cesc start this one.

Give the Manager a chance. Chelsea struggling to buy players now. Fact. They will rebuild. We should get our first point. We only have the EPL and FA CUP etc to play. We will be okay.

Don't like Chelsea's centre midfield options. Really don't like Chelsea's defensive options.

Offensive options are pretty good.

Don't know the point of this post but I wanted to throw it out into the internet realm.

I've basically been saying this same thing on another Chelsea forum. So great minds really do think alike.
As for West Ham I think we'll do them without keeping a clean sheet. 

[Special Juan 27,629]

I'm certain that Oscar will start this

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

So all of a sudden I see you guys all pick Ivan over Aina? Is it because of the error Aina made in preseason against Real or just sadly accept the fact that Ivan will start whatsoever? For me Aina over Ivan any day of the week. Don't give me the experience talk, Aina can run faster with one leg than Ivan and this is enough for me to favor him.

It'll be 433 with the exact same lineup as last season with the exception of Kante coming in next to Fabregas in central midfield. 

Also, we'll need to score at least a couple because a Carrol goal is almost inevitable.

[Leif 6,006]

It already feels like we didn't sign a new striker, it's like we unspokingly all know already we'll see as much of him as we saw of Remy.

How has Oscar shot so high up the ranks latey? I've even seen him in more than a few make a wish line-ups. Did he really perform that well in pre-season (can't be bothered with friendly football so I wouldn't know)?

He was good in 2 games, unlike Fabregas he had whole summer off plus whole pre-season behind him to make a start here. Plus Conte is a fan and we may finally see 4-3-3 that Oscar begs to play in.

When did Conte become a fan?

When he puts Oscar in and benches Fabregas. Conte tried to fit Oscar in both 4-2-4 and 4-3-3.

Conte said: “Oscar is an important player and the season when Chelsea won the title he was fantastic.

“Last season was bad for all the players – not just for Oscar. He is a good player with a great talent but he can improve a lot.

Looks like Oscar is given another year. Otherwise he wouldn't be here.

Let's see if he deserves this shot or Conte will get rid of him.
