Im backing Conte completely! If the greatest chef in the world requests the ingredients needed to make a good dish and you provide him with expired and Tesco value products, your gonna get beat 3-0 at Arsenal. lol

On a sporting level. Yeah i do feel sorry for him of course. 
I didnt realize rich people were beyond sympathy!
I also felt sorry for jt when he missed that penalty in moscow. 
Im sure cahill feels worse about those mistakes than any of us do. Im not defending him, they are horrible errors, nd he shouldnt be the team, but deserves zero personal abuse (not directed at you). 
Hopefully he is taken out the firing line this weekend. 
 

It look's to me that Conte is going to learn about some of our players the hard way. There are 3 or 4 in that starting 11 who i just don't think are good enough and they have been showing they are not good enough for some time now.
Ivanovic, hasn't played consistently well for over a year now.
Matic, i thought he was building something with Kante but it was clear to see tonight that he is still that same player from last season. He cannot cope under any kind of pressure from the opposition.
Oscar, it's like Mourinho's first season all over again. Oscar ahead of Mata, and now Oscar ahead of Fabregas. Oscar will never be consistently good enough for us. He's not a top player.
I also think that in the long run, the likes of Willian can only take us so far. He deserved to win player of the season for us last season, but let's be honest here, he won it mainly because everyone else was so sh*t, not because he did anything exceptional. Willian is great at running back and helping defensively, but his negatives come out when we are trying to go forward. Corners are awful, his passing is average, he can't thread a pass through a defense. Willian is better at the defensive side of football than he is going forward, and he's supposed to be a forward thinking player.
I just hope Conte reacts quickly, because if we have another season like last season then i think we will fall so far behind the rest of Europe and we could take a long time to catch back up with them.

Regarding the midfield 3, im amazed to see so many people happy for Matic to still be in there. Personally i'd like to se a midfield of Kante, fabregas and RLC. Drop Oscar and Matic and see if we can't start causing the opposition a few more problems. In that trio, you could have RLC pushing to support costa like a 2nd striker, as Conte seems to view him, as well as fabregas dictating the tempo of our play and forging chances. I don't see what Matic or oscar have done so far this season to warrant their starting places.

In truth, i'd probably change 4 of our starting line up (ivanovic, cahill, oscar, matic). Far too many issues across the pitch. Praying Zouma is back soon to give our back line a much needed boost

I disagree with many of you! Based on this season he's been as good as any left back in Europe. A left backs primary role is to defend. He's an absolute hound! His passing from the back has also been very accurate and intelligent. I think its a crime he wasn't in the PFA team of the season. Luke sure (no pun) has put in some brilliant performances yet over the course of the season Dave has been a much better defender imo. I think people need to get off of the likes of Lahm or Alba's di*k for a minute and realise the truth. Judging him based on the role hes been given by JM no player has worked harder than Dave this season..
