  1. or may be there was a clause we didn't know about
  2. did the club actually offered him an extension or this was just the renegotiation after winning the league, i haven't read anywhere that he refused to sign an extension. i think it makes sense to not sign a long term contract specially for the club given our history and they would be liable for more money if they fire him
  3. WTF wat r u on about, its a gaming forum wat has Jack Nicholson done and this is from movie Anger management i m going to say lets move on, this is as stupid as it gets
  4. you keep changing topics you mean in his 27th season where he had control of everything and won the league, i am surprised too he didn't moan not saying Conte has earned complete control but he deserves to be heard after winning the league fergie sold Bekham at his peak (not criticizing but how would have fans taken to the news during that time ,this could have easily backfired ) imagine Conte doing that with Hazard (he hasn't earned the right to do so yet) Fergie was a exception rather than a norm how many managers have been successfully as him. Wenger doesn't moan as well even after they selling their best players year after year. it takes time, a guy not happy with the squad or how is treated by the management is moaning cause he will fired its part of his demeanor he is an explosive character, just look what he did at Juventus again i am not saying Conte is the best manager ever or anything, i am saying we keep firing managers over and over and keep repeating the cycle. there is something more that needs fixing i want Conte to stay cause he has shown he can win the league if anyone else comes and this happens again what will you do the club needs to find a manager who shares the same vision as the club
  5. Fergie had complete control of everything, he benched Berbetov for most of the season after him being their top scorer the previous season https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-news-alex-ferguson-11918367
  6. every leader is egoist to a certain extent(you have to believe in yourself to make others believe in you), go look Pep's or Jose or even SAF interview after they loose and tell me they are any different. as for moaning so you would rather have someone who just stands there and give diplomatic answers and then gets fired while no one else takes the blame he said earlier that he had no input and incoming and outgoings of the team he just gives his opinion , the club and Manager needs to have a similar vision of what they are trying to achieve. this is year the squad is weaker than last year with more games so you have to take fatigue into account too why we are struggling. put yourself in his shoes and you are in charge of a project but you don't get to decide what people you work with and then the project starts to fall apart what would you do? As for the players there is only that much you can motivate, these are the same players that finished 10th after winning the league. our new signings have not been that great this year. last year many said that Matic is the weakest link in the team and this year we are crying for someone like him. Conte's midfield requires hard working players like Vidal, Nainggolan that's why we signed Bakayoko and i didn't work out as planned. i don't know where Barkley fits and why we signed given we have Loftus. last year he didn't play Fabregas in the midfield of 2 this year he has no option its a reoccurring problem, what players did Jose get after winning the league, tell me what is he supposed to do with this https://www.givemesport.com/1267822-jose-mourinhos-eight-tragic-signings-at-chelsea-in-summer-2015-where-are-they-now in today's world Players don't have anything to loose, Manager gets fired what do players get. every manager have his faults, there is no thing as perfect manager. there were few things i didn't like either like what he said after the City game which might be a shot at the board but it was very demoralizing for the players or i don't know what is going on with Drinkwater if we get a new manager who knows what happens then may the players will loose the motivation after playing under him too, what will you do then its a double edged sword
  7. the one thing i learnt reading sports articles, it has no accountability. always look for actual quotes when reading an article cause the headlines are usually made up or misleading
  8. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/apr/13/antonio-conte-chelsea-poor-season “If we don’t qualify for the Champions League, it means we have to divide the fault, also with the players. We must be ready to share the responsibility. I’m the first to take my responsibility. Then there is the club. Then there is the players. In football, but in every job, it’s right to be in this way. We must be frustrated. Me, my staff, the players and the club, for this season. You start the season with great expectations. Instead we have struggled a lot, for many reasons.”
  9. played for about 2 hours, loving it so far the game is hard, combat is different but its really fun
  10. our starting 11 this season is weaker than last season. we sold 2 starters who played key role in the title run and Luiz is out i think Conte was pissed how he was treated even after winning the league and they ignored everything he said, he has been moaning since pre season when started saying he just a head coach not a manager as he has no say whatsoever in anything we spent money on average players which he never wanted to do Costa fell out with Mourinho, first day of Conte he told him that he wanted to leave and then moaned again in January. and what do u think Conte would have done after all that is Conte blameless no not at all but it was coming given how bad things have to between the board and him that rather he and them sitting and sorting things out he went public to make his message clear. under Carlo we weakened the squad after winning the league same happened under Jose we didn't improve. there is a pattern here
  11. does Conte usually tell other players when they are dropped, i doubt it i don't know what point u are trying to make, we can make countless theories without knowing the facts it will be more clear in the coming weeks lets be patient.
  12. and we were winning games when Rudiger played what happens if he plays next game, as i said before if he is being frozen out in future games then it is something to worry about you know as much as i do regarding this, i am saying lets not jump into conclusion without knowing anything Conte stopped moaning about the board so media starts with the narrative that he's started picking fights with the players
  13. but we ended up winning for a change ;) people have have problem with him not rotating players and have problems when he do rotate lets wait and watch how this plays out
  14. and how can one interpret what he said a shot at Conte? what he said is right and could easily be saying about his teammates the press has a habit of making something where there is nothing lets wait a few weeks, missing one game is not a big deal imo
  15. he's dropped from one game and people are making stories. he has played a lot what's wrong in resting him if he never plays again or dropped for long time then we can talk
  16. he's been double marked at times, its the other players who failed to pose some threat
  17. can we sign them on loan, given they won't last more than 1-2 seasons ;)
  18. are u serious, he has barely played this year
  19. we should have been up 3-4 but i don't know what they are doing in final third the only thing on Conte is he keeps playing Fabregas, the guy is slow and have no positional sense in defense
  20. biggest test of this team the SECOND HALF
  21. he used 3-5-2 earlier this season against big teams with great effect, and i don't know what happened he just stopped using it
  22. its a click bait headline did you actually read the article, he said that the club should accept that we'll playing in Europa league next season i don't know what he said is wrong
