We tried to play football. We set up to play our game not counter like Conte did. We finished with over 45% possession against a top side which hasn't happened alot over the last year. Yes we played poor on the attack not really creating alot. But I believe the players coming back can sort that. Just need to grind out results as the players work out how to play the new way and score goals

He goes down far to easily. It's not a case of not being strong enough. Remember the drog at the start he used to go down and roll around all the time. Once he cut that out he was a far better player. I'm not saying morata will be anywhere near drogbas level or type of player. And he deffo needs to improve his finishing (a confidence issue I think) but if stays up that will be a start. I don't want him gone after one season. I never like that when there new to the country. But If we can get our money back and bring in a striker of a similar age and proven in the PL I'd be more comfortable with it.

Although I could see where your coming from I think your making to big a deal out of wingers cutting in on to there stronger foot. So I've gone out to prove you wrong mate. after looking for a reconised high level and high scoring winger that plays on the same side as his strong foot. The best player I could find was... Willian... So fair point I hail to your wisdom. Having said that. With the freekicks he takes taken into account too. I still believe he should be hitting a regular 9 a season if he was to be first choice

For some reason when I was a kid I always loved to watch Graham le saux. No idea why.. still baffles me. For fun skill and fancy players it's gotta be hazard or Zola. But duff and roben together was always fun and effective to watch. But I'm gonna go with hasselbaink . The way he could smash a ball and he could run and dribble. I'd love him in today's team. Hed be our first choice striker easily.

Can't see us letting him go to utd unless we got more than money.

A couple of lucky goals at the start of the season to put his head right should do the trick. Fingers crossed

If he's not in sarri's plans then loan him out so he can hopefully get his value back up somewhere else or we will be taking a massive loss as he has not shown to be a 40mill player last season. Positives are he's young so has alot of potential for improvement, and also alot of players need a season to adjust to the PL. But the main problem is he looks lost. Great phisicality with poor defensive awareness and positioning and no end product. Or just save him for games against man utd as that seems to be the only team he knows how to play against.

I'd take butland for no more than 30mill And cabero is a dangerous 2nd keeper espcialy with butland having quite a bad injury record for a keeper. So could be called into action alot. 2nd keeper I'd accept cech / reina And then Cech to then go into coaching in a few years too.

On the hazard conversation. He defiantly has been one of our most consistent players this season. The ones saying he needs to go for big money because he's inconsistent are the people that expect him to be able to win a game by himself when the whole team are playing crap. He's a great player who can make things happen and have that moment of brilliance to turn a game that isn't going your way. But he can't drag us out of loosing games every week. The level he'd of had to play at in feb-march would of been crazy. If you put an attacking team around him and not a team just hitting on The counter giving him less chances to show you what he can do. You will see the best of him. Saying that If he doesn't sign a new contract over the summer I would take 200m for him if it was invested correctly not on players with one good season like baka. Or meh players like Zappa and Emerson

Glad Baka won't be playing (I'm not a hater of him but currently unimpressed) How Drinkwater isn't the first choice to play next to kante I don't know.

Spoken like a true 2003 supported

I feel Carlo was sacked at a time when Roman expected to win the league every season due to the amounts we spent and the the we had. I think if that happened again now. He wouldn't sack who ever is in charge just for that reason. We did play our most attacking football under Carlo. Seeing as we've had every top manager of be up for Carlo again. I kinda hoped he'd get it after mourinho. Hopefully we go on a good run now (don't see it happening especially looking at the fixture list) and keep Conte as I've always hated the manager merry go round. (With the exception of the avb sacking and the absurd Avram grant caretaker time.) But I'm not overly impressed with counter attacking football. Although mourinho really annoyed me with his stupid comments and childishness in his last season. If we'd only collapsed to a 4th / 5th placed finish I think he could have got over it. Then again I do look at the list of players he held back who are now world class or close at other side and get pissed off. Who ever is manager come the summer 2 big names and team leaders are needed. Preferably ones of the managers choosing.

Giroud is a good backup striker. He knows how to play I. This league and has a good goals ratio. People who would rather have bats have to realise that Conte dosnt rate him. So what's the point in keeping him if he won't use him. I think loaning bats out at his age to a top team in germany is a good idea. that way if Conte goes or dosnt renew his contract. Then in we will have a player who will have grown and importantly played regularly. And a new manager can use him if he rates him. I like bats as a goal scorer. But Conte wants more link up play which we all know he needs to work on. So giroud for a quick fix and a player Conte will play and a chance for bats to develope I think is a good deal.

I feel Alonso is doing a good job. He just needs to be able to be rested subbed if he's not having an effect and someobe after his place when he's not proforming. I'm still undecided on Zappa on the other side. And Moses can't cross so Dave does it for him ha

I think it's worked really well. If you look at the age of our squad now I comparison to a few years ago. it's great. They can easily bypass it with clauses like set number of appearances get automatic year extension on to of 1 year extensionsW Without looking like favouring certain players.
