There are videos of winks 5th round performance against Everton last season on YouTube - described as one of the worst performances ever. He starts the following year again in the 5th round. You keep doing the same thing and getting same results - insanity!!!!
Didn’t someone once say if you continue to do the same things again and again you’ll get the same result

I don't even want to see winks or Royale anywhere near the starting 11 against Everton. Would rather he plays some of the younger kids until Skipp or bentancur are back.

I'd also start stevie for son as he needs a time out.
What did Royal do, maybe I missed it?

I’m just going to let go of any hope that we are a top 4 team anymore and go back to the late 90s when I was just happy with a top half finish. Hope we can nick a win against Arsenal now and then and hope players like Dozzell can become the new Gazza.

Got to have big hope for the summer transfer window because the players we've got can't play Conte's game. Borough had more possession than us, just, which people tell me is fine because the way we play we exploit that but we didn't exploit that and didn't look like doing so. Now if you play a possession game and it's not being effective at least you are minimising the opposition's possession so they have less opportunity to score. If however, you give away possession and can't make it count they've basically got all game to keep coming at you and you will eventually lose, it's a high risk system, and it's obviously too bloody high for us.
If this is as good as it gets I don't care if Conte goes because without the players to make it work there's no point him being here and we may as well play the percentage game.

I agree, but he's not blessed with options at CM is he?

Winks won't get a look in once Skipp/Bentancur come back from injury.
Boro’s winner was scored by a 19 year old sub. If wilder can bring him on why can’t Conte give Devine or white a single minute when winks and Hojbjerg are crapping the bed to such spectacular effect???

A deserved loss to a better side but looking on the bright side, we foiled Chelsea from getting a chance to beat us a fifth time this season. Well played boys.

This is why I’m struggling with the “bin the squad and start over”. Even players we know can be good are shite here and new signings are making it worse (when they’re playing at all).

It’s why our issues are far deeper rooted than just signing a load of new players. We’ve got good players who consistently crumble under any sort of pressure. Time and time again we fluff opportunities to capitalise in the league and always mess up cup win chances. “We need a new RWB” “We need a new CM”...okay cool but is that suddenly going to stop players throwing absolute stinkers like today. If we as fans can just feel things like this happening perhaps the whole club including the players mentally are in the same boat.

We need 200m and to start offering wages that brings in the players needed otherwise we will continue like this.

like when we signed Ndombele for £50m+ on (reportedly) 180,000+ wages a week?

All the money in the world won’t solve our poor recruitment.

Good, Winks is fucking shit. An absolutely awful footballer and should not be anywhere near our first eleven.

Fucking embarrassing from the players, fucking embarrassing from Conte, fucking embarrassing from the camera team

Winks & Højbjerg…. I’ve seen non-league players play better than that. So embarrassing.
Emerson…. Just leave man
Son…. Worst performance from him I’ve ever seen, Hall Of Shame performance

Conte… What was those tactics??? Why didn’t he change anything at halftime?? If that was Mourinho or Nuno they would’ve been slaughtered by the fanbase. Bergwijn has been bright every time he’s played him, why doesn’t he give him more minutes?? I really hope Conte isn’t having another public meltdown because I’m tired of him acting like a little baby

And the camera team…. Maybe you tried make us a favour, I forgive you
Agree with all of that.
First time I've questioned Conte. Got it all wrong. How he left Son on is just baffling. And Winks, fk I'd rather see someone from u21s play.

He subbed on Scarlett in fairness.

But yeah, I agree that those 2 could surely do no worse than Winks.
