How the hell Dunjuma hasn’t got any time is utter bonkers.
Conte didn’t want him so he hasn’t played him. All a power play.

Indeed, it wasn't a lack of effort that let us down last night, in the same way it wasn't that Conte didn't care. They tried and fell short simple as that. For me the loss can be attributed to the players not being good enough or not being coached well enough or what ever else, but it certainly wasn't down to them being lazy or not caring/trying.This is another myth around here. In our rage , we start to believe our players aren't trying. I reckon they put in a shiftiest night(they don't always, true) but the huge problem is our attackers have turned into carthorses from last seasons thoroughbreds. No one could have predicted that.
Last 3 games, yes we conceded a goal in games, but we'd expect our brilliant forwards to score...but they are simply not doing it.
I don’t think it was a lack of effort: it was they had no idea what to do offensively.This is another myth around here. In our rage , we start to believe our players aren't trying.

Whaaatttt? There was 8mins left and we had to score to force ET, we weren't playing for a draw.
Taking off your main creative player for a shit CB was not necessary, we literally had nothing to lose.
Yep, I can't see a way out. It seems crazy, in any business to keep a failing manager who is certain to leave in 3 months. Conte is just picking up the cheques for 3 months...yes he has to do pressers and say the expected things, but there won't be any rage to succeed in them, after the defeats to come he may even crack a smile or two in pressers. A treading water period for him.Can only see things dropping off even more this season now. The sooner we move on, the better.
Obv it's Poch..I've run out of energy to resist because I feel he'd be better than Conte now, knows the setup at Spurs, has probably been following the team closely knowing he's a shoe-in after Conte.....But FFS on a SHORT contract.
Oh crap I wrote our players put in a shift last night...typo meant it came out as shiftiest performance which read as the shittiest to people. I think they put in big effort last night, sorry folks.I don’t think it was a lack of effort: it was they had no idea what to do offensively.
We lost the tie anyway!!!That’s a very very slim chance we would’ve made it there anyway, even with the defensive change in Sanchez, we were a goal post away from losing the tie.
It’s the whole philosophy that’s wrong. It can (but not always) work very nicely against teams that play an open attacking game, but against teams that don’t need to come at us…it’s abysmal.I don’t think it was a lack of effort: it was they had no idea what to do offensively.
It felt at the time like the Nuno Bergwijn sub against Man U that sealed his fate.
I just have a bad feeling he will still be here for the forest game.
There was a lot wrong and it's been that way for a while, we all see that. My concern now is what we do about it. I have backed Conte completely but he's a lame duck now we have no trophies to play for and isn't going to be here next season. I'll scream it until the day I die in defence of him that we shouldn't have appointed a manager like him if we were only going to half back him. Yes it's a lot of money and yes he should have done better, but he's all or nothing, and as a club that should have been known and taken into consideration prior to his appointment.I don’t think it was a lack of effort: it was they had no idea what to do offensively.

I see things are as balanced as expected in here this morning.
I've accepted that Conte leaving is inevitable, and as I said last night, now we're not in any competitions we may as well let him go. Pay him up til the end of his contract, whatever, and let the next manager start building.
Not sure there's any need for claiming he's a **** or a shit manager, though. He demonstrably isn't either, and while he hasn't been a success here on the whole, we clearly have issues which run far deeper than the manager.
