The Parrot syndrome?I've seen this said more frequently recently, and it was said with Jose as well, but I don't understand it. What is it based off?

Thanks to Kane mostly…We have the 4th most wins in the top 10 and only one less than Man Utd in 3rd. That’s good, keep the manager good.
Pretty pointless looking at things in isolation isn’t it.
There's no way we wanted Lenglet that much. If we did the loan would have been done quicker and would have an option to buy. I remember that loan dragging on so it always felt it was being held to one side while we tried our first choice instead.So basically you have zero evidence he wanted Lenglet which is what you stated initially. We got Lenglet in all likelihood because he was cheap. But I very much doubt conte wanted Lenglet off all players. Same way Rodon wasn't a Jose choice. Same shit different manager.
we are still fourth in goals scored regardless of the drop off so we are scoring at a rate to win games however dull it is. We however can't defend you save our lives.
conte will go but the same problems will persist at a club which chooses the cheap options
And you could quite easily swap that statement for the cultish pro-Conte movement as well as throw in the anti-Levy brigade, who will blame Levy for virtually anything including their wife shagging their best mate!There is a cultish anti-Conte movement. They are literally incapable of rational thought where Conte is concerned, just overly obsessed with how "shit" our football is and wanting a "progressive project manager" in.
Ok, sorry, but i don't see how any of that is Conte's fault. He didn't decide what Levy would pay him at the end of the day. I fail to see how he's doing us a favour by being our coach.Paid a kings ransom to placate the fans by bringing in a top top name to take the pressure off our Chairman for all the dreadful mistakes and bad footballing decisions he’s yet again made
More smoke & mirrors from our leader to keep his job ‘sweet’
I can see him weeping and blowing his nose on the 15 million quid a year he earns. Bless his cotton-socks.
We knew what we were getting into bed with both with Conte and Mourinho; they need funds and specific players to fit into their specific systems and then they win things.
We have broken promises to both of them, probably because when it came to the crunch, we weren't willing to pay the money, rendering both of their appointments utterly pointless.
We will in all likelihood now go back to the ex, who we had a few good times with, but also had a 12 month period at the end where it all went to absolute ratshit and should've parted ways sooner. Poch also regularly fucked off the domestic cups, which a fair few have conveniently forgotten in the last 7 days...doesn't fit the narrative
He'll now come in and not cause any fuss, just tow the party line, like a faithful labrador; perfect for the board.
Such an alarming and disappointing lack of ambition.

But he's not staying beyond the end of the season anyway at this stageWell for one, it would be nice to not have to go through ANOTHER new manager search, and not have the possibility of us watching the likes of Sanchez play for us again or Winks and Ndombele return with a clean slate under whoever that manager might be.
But this has been discussed ad infinitum already anyway.
We have no chance of winning it and no chance of finishing 4thGot to a very strange point where i'd take Europa league because we have a bit more of a chance of winning it...although Levy would ensure thats sucked out of the player to focus on the league...
I find it similarly confusing to you, but I think it's about the way he speaks and conducts himself in pressers - about wanting to change the club into winners and how we don't have a record of success etc. That and the not signing a new contract, holding the club to ransom sort of thing.Ok, sorry, but i don't see how any of that is Conte's fault. He didn't decide what Levy would pay him at the end of the day. I fail to see how he's doing us a favour by being our coach.
I should imagine it’s based on their demeanour and the way they carried themselves in front of the media.I've seen this said more frequently recently, and it was said with Jose as well, but I don't understand it. What is it based off?
We’re 4th. With 2/3 of the season gone. That is the only relevant fact. What’s your point?How about a narrative of we have lost 9 of 26 games.
That is more than a third of our league games.
Lets ignore that too.
Nobody is blaming ConteOk, sorry, but i don't see how any of that is Conte's fault. He didn't decide what Levy would pay him at the end of the day. I fail to see how he's doing us a favour by being our coach.

But there's no point talking about number of losses without number of wins and where we are in the table. Bottom line is we are 4th and you can't sack a manager for that. I could understand if we had a squad that should challenge for a title but we don't. In fact we're still overachieving with the squad we have. We sacked Jose because 4th was out of reach and we were at risk of failing to qualify for Europe altogether. That isn't the case at this time at least so I don't see how we can sack the manager. Top 4 is the best we can hope for with this squad and that in itself is overachieving. As long as we still have that in site I can't see any reason to change manager. If it slips away then fair enough.Well two wins without our manager doesn't entirely convince me that the manager is doing the right thing when he is here!
I've said elsewhere that the City game was probably our best performance of the season.
But one good performance...and it really hasn't been much more than that at all this season...shouldn't save a manager.
I also agree that results are what matters. And 9 losses out of 26 in the league whilst also meekly dropping out of each cup isn't good enough.
Nobody is blaming Conte
Thanks to Kane mostly…
It’s literally brought up all the time how he’s on £15 million a season and therefore is expected to be delivering much much more.
