IF we don't get a result this weekend, the papers are going to go to town on this club. Conte might have a nervous breakdown
When you haven’t spent any money for 3 seasons running and your club relies on 3-4 individual great players 2 of which have been hurt this season you will not be competitive in England or Europe
It’s the symbol for their version of Memorial Day to remember fallen soldiers. Been that symbol forever and no one would have the balls to try and change that. Edit: also doesn’t look QUITE as bad on the players and we auction the jerseys for charity usually so maybe it gets us some good press. We could use some of that right now http://www.chelseafc.com/news/lates...oidered-shirts-to-be-auctioned-next-week.html
Bad news I don’t think Conte makes it through the year and even if he does a parting of ways in the summer seems guaranteed. Good news if we could hire anyone to replace him I would struggle to find someone better than Carlo.
Bullshit. Dropping him might have been but not even on the bench? Some shit went down after the Roma game and conte is saying my way or the highway. I love it. What pissed me off the most about mourinhos last year is he kept playing the players who failed him. Conte is saying if you aren’t with me I’ll put someone else in. I like it
Dave was awesome today and has a great connection with Morata. Have to close out the game in situations like that, very lucky to not concede late.
So we have played the tougher fixtures and United is 1 point ahead of us but conte is facing the sack and mourinho is amazing. Fucking press
Just came to post this. Certainly surprising but I think it is good news. Been issues in the transfer market and player recruitment for the last 5 or so years. If you believe the media reports (tough to know what to believe) it’s marina who conte doesn’t get on with but maybe it was emanalo that they feel was at fault for certain signings not happening or dragging out/leaving until the last minute. Since we clearly aren’t looking for a long term manager I would hope we could have a top tier director of football who can handle the negotiations and make sure we have a longer term sense of roster management. Don’t want to let happen what did when mourinho took over and we sold or drove away some of the current most talented players in the EPL EDIT: differing reports but it looks like most think he left on his own. He got his UEFA coaching Licence and apparently got an offer to join a managers staff.
Yeah just came here after I saw this on twitter. Kind of shocking and adds to the turmoil but I feel like its a good thing.
Not sure how but Luiz didn’t really make any of his typical defensive mistakes last year. Might have had something to do with matic/kante being such a tactically intelligent midfield but he was great. This year he has reverted back to the norm. Some fantastic performances but some really bad performances and no consistency. Many (myself included) have questioned cahill’s continued inclusion and want him replaced but he looks so much better next to Christensen. Maybe rudiger at LCB against lesser competition and Cahill versus teams we will have to defend more against and Christensen and Azpi start as many games as possible?
Not sure what’s going on with Luiz but it makes me wonder if when he played midfield against Atletico it didn’t go to his head a little.
