We had a real chance of top 4 if we gave Conte the backing he needed in January. RWB was an absolute priority and that wasn’t addressed. LCB was another priority and no attempt was even made to get one in.

Conte is by no means a saint in all of this, but if I was him I’d walk come the summer. He’s working with a pair of clowns in Levy and Paratici.

Probably controversial but I genuinely think the crowd made a difference today. Their reaction at FT against Southampton perpetuates exactly the type of nerves and mistakes we saw early on today. Most people on this planet would be nervous walking out to face that again.
I hear you, but I don't know man. As a professional you use that to up your game. When a business gets complaints from customers it fuels them to do better.

Lage: "They are often playing with just two midfielders so we tried to put more men there. They changed to put one more man to press Ruben. After they adapted so we adjusted. It was harder to control the game with the ball, but we controlled it without."

I mean for fuck sake :LOL:

I’m not going g to read the moaning but I’m not worried. Top 4 is gone, FA cup is a very real possibility this year. I trust Conte ? and I think he’s proven beyond doubt that he knows what he’s doing.
We have such an unbalanced squad it’s unreal. We need some players brought in who have the personality to play for him. We’ve got too many players that lack ability/bottle in that squad. It’s obvious who needs to be moved on and who stays. 4 players in the summer and we will be back. Centre half, RWB, midfielder and Striker. Ideally a LWB another CH as well.
I think the style of play is good, take out the donkeys and the players who just aren’t up to it and we’ll be fine.
The fact that it’s obvious is a real plus.
4 players? Daniel go back and play with you're property drawings, this forum is for real fans!

Missed the game today, not a good result at all. What did I miss apart from that Hugo “punch” for the first goal ?‍♂️ Only seen a small snippet of the first goal and he made a right **** of that! How did we play? Can’t be bothered sifting through the thread? Shite again? Probably
Individual mistakes cost us again. Lloris sparked the second goal too with a bad pass to Davies, he then compounded it by clearing it 20 yards straight to their player which after a shot, save, deflection, and the post made its way to their player on the edge of the six yard box.

After that we took Sess off, went 3-5-2 with Kulu. It was less bad then, but our composure around the edge of their box is the same as that of a virgin in a brothel.

Better 2nd half. But who gives a shit after we'd already handed them the game in the 1st. I mean, these teams aren't even having to win these games, we are literally giving it to them.

Absolute shit show at the back again, with professionals panicking and unable to even do the fundamentals.
So sick of seeing players with their hands in the air apologising for a bad pass, or giving the ball up in horrendous areas. Forget the apologising, and just stop making the same fucking basic errors every week.
The problem is there is no pressure from off the bench.

Winks came out and said he thought he was done at the club, obviously he got his head down and put in some shifts to force his way back in.

But then he gets back in and the competition is released, meaning that he consciously or subconsciously knows one error or bad performance isn't going to have too much of an effect in terms of his starting spot.

Until Conte can bring in quality in these positions and in reserve, we will likely see players continue doing the same.

Except that for the duration of the actual match against Southampton the crowd were fantastic - louder than I’ve heard since Poch. What more can they do when the team is this shit?

This concept that once Romero is fit we’d be solid defensively has died a quick death. Weirdly Sanchez and Davies have turned into liabilities again since he came into the side. Now it’s we need Dier back in the side before we end up making the some old nonsensical errors to give goals. We have a serious mentality issue at the club, it’s not just lack of quality there’s someone wrong with these players when they are put under any pressure or expectation.

Does it? Normally those complaints, certainly the angry rants most comparable to booing, go to the poor souls working minimum wages at a call centre - who are regularly anxious, stressed and depressed. Businesses up their game in response to feedback (either literal, or realising something isn't working) - and even then we only know of the cases where that does work, because the others tend to diseappear.

They booed at half-time, and booed again at full-time. Being nice to someone and then booing them doesn't balance out.

I hear you on the call centres earning minimum wages who face the brunt, but in this case it's different. It's not the ball boys being booed.

Two In midfield would completely work, but in order for it to work you need three good ball playing defenders, two quality CMs and two fast WB’s who are good on the ball. We started that match with two adequate players out of seven.

The unforced errors, the Mexican stand-offs between players - you have it - No you have it, the stray passes in midfield that are so prevalent. I'm insane with it all.

Too fackin much.
