Run of league games of Forest, Southampton, Everton, Brighton and Bournemouth coming up, great time for a new attack minded manager to come in and get some momentum.

We aren’t beating Milan Wednesday. Not playing like we have been. Can see us losing that game a mile off.
Completely agree. Whilst I don't want him back right now (more change needed before he comes back IMO), sacking Conte and brining Poch back now will be tempting.

A CL game under the lights, will get the vast majority of fans on side very quickly.

He absolutely has to go now, it’s done, it’s over, I’d be amazed if he’s in charge against Notts Forest next weekend.

Will Levy wait and see what happens against Milan on Wednesday

The hilarious part is that they’ve mangled this week so badly we’ll be back to 1 game per week which is the one situation they can actually manage to.

we’ll fire them right when they’ve gotten to the point where they can actually manage decently.

So let me get this straight.

When we were winning, Mason and Stellini were the second coming of Christ but the second we lose, NOW it’s Contes fault again?

Seems very hypocritical and biased IMO.

And I was clearly taking the piss out of that logic not defending Conte.
No one has seriously suggest any such thing. The good performances are down to Conte, and so is the shite. There is far too much of the latter. The problem is when his tactics work it’s fine, when they don’t we have absolutely no plan B. He gets outmanaged on game day over and over

I still can't see the point of sacking him unless we have someone better to come in but it's tough to see how this gets turned around at the moment.

everything that worked last season is no longer working, teams know exactly how we'll play and he's been too stubborn to change it, all the while acting like he's doing us a favour by being here and refusing to commit beyond this season, get rid.

With the success of old man Perisic still fresh in his mind, Conte brings Levy along on a scouting mission to show him his latest transfer target.

Sorry but I can literally go to the Stellini thread and dig up the quotes for you.

A lot of people said we were playing much better under Stellini and Mason than Conte, when I said it's still Conte's work I was ridiculed.

So forgive me for taking that eye back. I'm a vengeful bastard who believes in an eye for an eye.

I've seen us play infinitely better with Winks and Sissoko in midfield, plus Sanchez in a back 4. This team lacks balance, especially with Son and Deki in current form, but when you have less than 2xg in every game you can't expect much from your forwards. We couldn't even test Milan's shitty backup keeper once in that game, embarrassing stuff. In-game management is also terrible, usually we see poor subs and they come too late anyway. Royal's improvement and set-pieces are the only 2 positive side effects of coaching this season. He was good last season though, probably helped that he wasn't so homesick and didn't have to deal with our boardroom too much.
