Need some luck. The Kane near miss or the nearly penalty could have been it. Badly need some flair in the centre. Missing Romero and Dier has really cost us in the two games

“Penny pinching” from people at the club, signing players like N’Jie, N’Koudou, Doherty, Hojbjerg, Rodon (plenty others I’ve missed) for the sake of a few million saved in fees and not replacing the quality we used to have, to then spunk over £40m in compensation getting rid of managers who just couldn’t polish the turd anymore.
Levy the common denominator in all this, others are fired and he still sticks around bean counting while the squad bathes in shite.

Not saying your right or wrong but what would you have done differently with the players available mate?

we have no son and no other striker so can’t play 3-5-2 unless Lucas & Kane together?

Reggi and sess injured so Doherty only real option at LWB, unless you put Davies there but that means Rodon starts and he’s been poor.

Bergwijn is out, Gil doesn’t do much, Ndombele is on his way out, dele does nothing, so conte’s options are threadbare.

If he played 4atb I think we’d have even less of the ball.

Main issues have been the defensive errors as Gollini cost us a goal there just like tanganga did in the first game but then on the other hand our wing backs offer zero threat, our CM2 offer no creativity and we are missing son and I don’t think Lo Celso suits that inside winger role in a 3-4-3 so not suprised against one of best defences in the league that we’ve not created much either.

I just hope conte and FP can see these obvious issues and address them with signings in Jan and summer.
I understand what your say regarding players available but I still feel certain things could have helped. For example, we know our CMs can’t cope with Chelsea so bring Gio more central as a third CM or an AM who drops deep. He’s too far out right. Not that he would make a difference but just having three in centre would help. Tbh I don’t see why we don’t go 4231, Doherty is dreadful on the left and I honestly wonder if it wouldn’t be better ether playing Rondon or Gil there.

Aside from that, why play Giolini, I don’t get it, the defence need confidence and commanding. We won’t get that from him.

This way of being outplayed and the way Conte keep saying we are a mid table team will really motivate our players for the NLD :D we are going to get recked
If they had anything about them, I mean anything at all it would motivate them to prove he's wrong. Unfortunately this squad has absolutely nothing about them, no heart or fight, no real leaders at all.

They accept being beaten repeatedly, over and over again being humiliated in front of a full stadium and on tv all over the world. All it takes is them facing a little bit of resistance or adversity and they just fold.

Can u honestly tell me if this was Palace , southampton or even Brighton at home in a 2nd leg of a semi final they would down tools like we have . Have a bloody go at least , get into them , such a powder puff performance.Mentality of this club absolutely stinks .
Don’t think we have downed tools I just think the players out there right how are no where near good enough, can’t defend, can’t keep the ball and not an attacking or creative threat.

they’re all trying, they’re just not good enough.

With obvious squad frailties nice that we got our transfer business done early this time so as not to write off yet another season…

If fans could say you don’t give a fuck about me wasting my time and money for another year, I’d like a refund then they might actually give a shit. Equivalent of a shop offering low grade clothes at designer prices, you realise you got ripped off through false advertising and the lure of the store, but small print says no fucking refund, but come back next year, we promise we’ll have better…

Chill guys!
We all knew we would lose this because Levy and Lewis doesn't care as long that earn some money.

We will have the same squad for next season as well and then we will see Conte walk because he don't get the backing.

It's the same every window.
We start at the window and we have the money to invest, couple days later we are interested in players that won't improve the staring 11 and after that we hear we don't have any money and we sign some random dude from France.

This is part of the problem. The almost complete failure of the academy to produce players that will put pressure on the first team.
As soon as we have half decent talent we completely fail to integrate them or give them good loans. Skipp aside.

This is the state of our squad and apparently we’ve not even got £20m to buy Traore and may have to rely on loans for further signings. Meanwhile Arsenal who have been nowhere near us for god knows how long can suddenly throw around a £150m package to one player?

Joe Lewis et al are a fucking shit stain on this club.
I just don't understand why a 84 year old has nothing better to do before the end of his life then own us.

Surely he should be knee deep Hugh Heffner style and fuck us off.
