I agree with what you are saying but when you talk about Conte and Jose throwing players under the bus, seems to have rubbed off onto the fan base. Again I'm not trying to lay the blame on any one sector. From the chairman to sections of the fan base it's all fucked up. Levy, the board, various managers and coaches, the players, the fans, all have to take various amounts of blame for where we are right now. It's all ultimately one man's fault, but all of those mentioned need to change their thinking if we are ever going to achieve anything.Whilst I agree with what we are getting told about the system, you have to remember that Jose and Conte are happy to pull the trigger on players that keep making mistakes. Our midfielders take no risks, our attackers rarely take risks, and all the risk is taken on by defenders to try and get the ball up the pitch.
If players knew they could do their job without risk of being benched or criticised then they will take more risks. Our attack is blunt right now, but we have some very good attackers. These same players were superb end of last season when they were taking risks. Something happened over the summer where Conte managed to get a full pre season. We just became more rigid
