...yet I heard from Harry recently, that it's not Conte who's telling us to play like a bunch of haddocks in the first halves, it's the players themselves who choose to start all our games cautiously. If that's the case, we're fucked. Who do we believe?
I just don't buy that.

We know Conte is a coach that tells them where to be in every moment. Now the fact he wouldn't even play Bissouma who is technically superior to a lot of players playing instead of him because he 'wasn't getting the tactics' says to me that those on the pitch are doing what they are told.
He just sends them out with the handbrake on and doesn't release it until we are losing AFAIAC.

Next 2 windows following need selling and being replaced

OUT
Lloris
Emerson
Doherty
Sessegnon
Sanchez
Tanganaga
Davies

Paratici needs to earn his money now
I am not sure on Lloris to be fair being on your list. Massive job to find a replacement - don't underestimate it.

Harry blaming the tension in the crowd for poor first halves. What's the reason away from home?
In fairness he was asked the question and he didn’t blame the fans said players should be able to deal with that and the crowd were brilliant in the 2nd half

People criticising the fans and while it’s counterproductive to boo, we have gone 2-0 down in four consecutive Premier League games… that’s pretty bad.

Think this break for the World Cup is coming at the right time for us considering our injury situation. Come Jan, we need to be decisive and go straight out and buy a top, world class CB like Milan Skriniar. No fucking about. Get James Maddison in as well and I reckon we are in for a title challenge next season. We need players ready to come straight in and improve our starting 11. I’d prefer us to spend our money on players for now rather than 20m a pop on Pape Sarr, Spence and Udogie who may never make an impact for us. That’s 60m spent on those 3 players that could have been spent on someone to win that game for us today. We shoukd concentrate on snapping up young talent whenever the first team has no weaknesses which it clearly does at present.

If Arsenal weren’t currently top the amount of negativity here would be half what it is.

I think we’re all just quite taken aback by how each team’s season has so far gone in terms of performances, given us beating them to the top 4 last year was meant to be a bit of a sliding doors moment with us kicking on and them being mentally destroyed and falling further back.

See alot of comments about the ref, was he that bad?? Granted ive had a few guinness but thought we played really well, we'd a couple of var incidents but thought they made the right call for a change. We were unlucky with finishes from Perisic on another day we win that. A very encouraging display imo.

These first half’s were always gonna catch up with us.
And its been a consistent Conte problem. His risk averse strategy means we're always playing catch-up. We know when we pile pressure on Dier he crumbles. We know when he's got a bit of room to breath he can be more than decent. We know when Hugo is left to shot-stopping rather than playmaking and sweeping that he looks class. We know when Davies is allowed the room to find space he's a pretty good wide centre back. We know that further forward that PEH is a nifty little ballwinner and recycler. We also know that as an anchor man in front of the back line he's a bag of nerves. We know that Royal cannot provide any width what so ever and so shouldn't be playing in a role that requires him to do so, especially when its one of our primary outlets. I could go on but you get the point. All these things are things we know and Conte bloody well should by now. He has his philosophy and he will not under any circumstances deviate from that, even when its plainly not working. By doing so he is needlessly costing us points and damaging the confidence of his players. Its completely ridiculous and smacks of a coach who prefers to break his tools and buy new ones than use the ones he has for their intended task and/or improve them. I'm not interested in what he might do with a squad packed with £70m players because he's never going to have that, not here.

Personally I couldn’t give a toss about Arsenal. Their games have no impact on me whatsoever.

If you count being absolutely battered for 45 minutes and only getting away with the points because of a dodgy ref and a poor error "fairly straightforward " then yeah...
'Absolutely battered for forty five minutes' is a bit creative. But frankly whether we played well or shite I'm tired of losing to Liverpool.
