about damn time we back the manager over the players then. Whoever he wants shot of we get rid even if it's harry.What an embarrassment it's the kind of result that underlines there is trouble brewing within. Conte is probably on the brink of walking. I had a bad feeling about this one and so its been proven. When I saw the line-up I thought here we go with that so called defence.
What really was bad was not to see Spence even start and Conte's stubbornness plus assessments are not helping on the support side to those waiting in the wings. He's use to players who know how to win our players don't so effectively look to bring another curtain down on yet another manager it seems.
And then we hire gattuso ?Seriously guys, why bother? We know how this is going to unfold. Manager sacked, Kane and Sonny leave and Dire becomes captain and Sanchez leads the backline.
Who needs to win the Carrrrabo Cup anyway.
We have bigger ambitions.
Sometime in the future, at some point, rebuilding, squad depth lacking, insufficient funding, that sort of thing.
Roll out the mad Italian.
FA cup for a start not this crap trophyOf what?
We have won the square root of f*** all for god knows how long. Don’t think we should be half hearted about any competition we are in as it makes us look embarrassing.FA cup for a start not this crap trophy
Scoring in the first halfOf what?
Yup but everyone wants conte out so that a new manager comes in and puts his arm around them all again and we get a new manager bounce and don’t replace them and rinse and repeat.Exactly. You can't polish a turd. Dier, Davies and Sanchez are floaters that need to be flushed by next summer
The stagnation of our squad has been such that we still have players starting regularly who really should have been gone over 2 seasons ago.
That's also not including players that we should never have bought in the first place (Emerson, Doherty, Sessegnon, Gil).
Probably just under half the squad by my count.
You know full well I was speaking in general and not about specific players. If Spence hasn't grasped the tactics in training up until now then that's why he hasn't featured as much. Conte said it before and did so re Bissouma and he is now featuring more. Just needs patience and to work hard. It'll come for him. We also have two other senior RWBs who have had a year under Conte whether you like it or not. That's why he hasn't started or played as much.I mean Spence looked more of a threat in 10 mins than Doherty or Emerson have all season
