    Good 3 points and should have been a lot easier but we still give goals away at corners and the late penalty could have made it jittery.Still don’t think son should start

    Why has Danjuma not had any minutes especially as Son and Kulu are so out of touch.Is this another one that Conte did not want like Spence and if so what a shambolic way to do recruitment.Still I suspect we will have to change Paraceti soon

    I think the manager was just sacked!

    The little I've seen of Danjuma makes me think he could bring something new to our game. He's a good dribbler and he didn't start in the Villareal team that finished in the semi-finals Champions League by chance. But actually Conte does not give him any playing time. His presence is useless because even when he could allow him to play 5 minutes, he brings Lucas in. I like Lucas but from there to purely forget a player that we went to get during the transfer window, what's the reason?
     
  7. The Conte Guest

    I was under the impression he was primarily brought in so they could let Gil go on loan… there also was some uncertainty about Lucas’s condition for the rest of the season

    Must be embarrassing to join a club… do all the welcoming media… and then never see the pitch

    I agree he should have at least gotten some time to shake things up
     
  8. The Conte Guest

    Hard to put too much faith in this wildly inconsistent team but maybe Richy publicly calling out Conte might prove ideal… fired Conte up again at least and got Richy on the pitch

    If there’s one small positive about the woeful events of the last two weeks is that we’re in the same position we were at the end of last year when we went on that great run

    With the exception of one week… that’s one game a week now until the end of the season

    Let’s hope lightning strikes twice… but if we can’t beat Southampton this weekend I might just pull up stumps for the year lol

    Or … “congratulations Dier for being in the England squad”. Remember that bit about being a supporter?

    Voice of reason do you really think Dier is in the top echelons of centre backs.I do support my club but I am not stupid that I think all our players are international class.But then Southgate has picked the same players that lost in the World Cup including players who can’t get in their club sides regularly

    I think Conte, Mouhrino, Poch,Southgate all see something in him. Can’t be a coincidence!
    No I do t think he is the best centre back in the world but he is our player and should be congratulated when he gets selected.
    I do t think Southgate has him there to be the main centre back but McGuire gets chosen so back up is needed!!

    What a load of tripe.The last month lost to wolves and Leicester who have won no other games since and throw away 2 goal lead against bottom team.Please Conte go now as you have no chance of top 4 and you are boring the pants off me.By the way voice of reason what did you think of our England class centre back today

    I think that I will support our players when they get picked for England regardless!

    with the break coming up I wonder if they will pull the plug earlier to give someone a cJanice to work with some of them and do a push for top 4?

    Surely Conte is looking for way out after his comments after todays match accusing the players of being selfish and not playing for team and saying that they have not improved at all.He is correct but you don’t throw your players under the bus in public and expect them to play for you.He must go now while the international break is on

    I bet there's top yids in melt down over what Conte has said because otherwise they'd have to get their heads out of their arses and confront the facts/truth about the state of this club, how **** the squad is and how piss poor the ownership is.

    But it's a lot easier just to cry about the guy on the touchline instead of accepting the reality.

    I have to say, I for one am glad Conte came out and said what he did after the game. The passion was very raw and I think that’s the first time all season he has said what he is actually thinking.

    I have listened to the interview a few times now and he makes some very good points.

    These players are professionals and like we have seen sometimes for Conte but also at other clubs such as Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle, when players are 100% committed and work to a top coaches system, they improve as a group.

    We all may not like/agree with Contes system but I think it’s fair to say that the players are paid massive money and as professionals should be committed and doing more.

    The fact that they continue week after week to be so inconsistent to the approach shows that some of them shouldn’t be at the club.

    Conte has every right to highlight the last 20 years because for 20 years it’s been very similar. We have invested a lot but not enough. The players we do have at any point in time are not fully invested enough to drive us that bit further forward and the club needs to take the responsibility and allow the manager to force the changes he needs in personnel.

    If we look week after week it’s always the same…GK, CB, LB, CM.

    Something has to change to win something and no one can say Conte hasn’t called it out now because he is one of the best coaches in the world and he has shown how he can have our group playing. Problem is the group of highly paid, professional sports players are either clearly not listening, committed or invested in progress and this results in the peaks and troths that we see week in and week out.

    It’s a shame because he will probably walk or get fired and the same players who let us down will continue to collect their salaries and cruise along with no desire to change.

    Very disappointing

    I agree Thfc that Conte was correct in his opinions but this should be done in the changing room and not in the media.Bad as the team is Contes brand also stinks and I will say it is the most boring football I have watched for a long time.

    Having seen the highlights southamptons second goal was scored while we had 7 men in the area against 3 of theirs and they scored without a challenge going in
