Just hope Conte hangs around for the rebuild. Otherwise I don’t know where we go.

 

[hutchiniho]

Spot on from Conte.
Accurate and fair.

 

[tcyrus]

i wonder if he truly knew what he was letting himself in for

Mourinho had a rude awakening when he realized the levels Pochettino's players had dropped to and now the same with Conte.
Too many years of neglecting the squad leaving the players physically and mentally shot and just topping it up with sub standard players. (whoever is to blame it needs sorting fast)

The squad needs to be strengthened. Everyone understands that to be the case.

However, coach and set up the players currently at the club and send them out with a game plan. The last three games have been poor from Conte. Playing a right footed player at left back slows us down. Playing two sixes in a game when we are on top slows us down. Playing Son through the middle against a compact team slows us down. Definite room for improvement but manager needs to take some responsibility too.

Chelsea followed Southampton's game plan to a degree and pressed certain players. The mistakes were made and we were punished. Schoolboy errors all round.

We have been very slow in our build up, even when we counter we slow the game down to allow teamed to regroup, we don't play forward with pace enough. Conte has improved us in some areas but I thought he would have had us moving the ball quicker to stop teams stifling us.

I am looking forward to what Conte can do for the club, but I also want the team to win now.

Very accurate, Levy has to shoulder much of the blame he has been the common denominator in the various clusterf**** that have occurred in recent years.

Very accurate, Levy has to shoulder much of the blame he has been the common denominator in the various clusterf**** that have occurred in recent years.

Does that mean that Levy has to share some of the praise for all the improvements that have been made since he has been the common denominator?

Fair comments but a Combination of other factors out did us Yesterday

1) Doherty on the left
2) Sanchez in diers spot
3) no creativity from cm
4) Tuchel winning the tactical battle
5) Chelsea playing really well
