Petty and childish from Willian. Don’t like that. 

Unbelievable. Conte may well go. But that in my view is an unforgivable lack of respect. Happy to take pay them 20m and take Martial off their hands in the process. 

That's 3 of our former Brazilian clique who have fallen out with Conte. Same group who had issues with Jose. Time the rest were moved on regardless.

Conte is hidden behind those three throphies on the right.

Wonder what happened between those two. 

Well, Willian can f**k off now too. I'm sick of the bullsh*t unprofessional attitude of some of our players. Willian hasn't been good enough this season himself. What a great way to put a damper on things. A lot of our players over the years pretend that it's all the managers fault, well maybe it's about time they looked at themselves for once.

Pathetic and childish, just like Costa. Honestly, he should be fined by the club for things like this, make an example of him.

Let me quote him:
Every single player that come this season, was the board choice. I have little to zero word in transfer. I`m just a coach here.

And that is not only Conte words.

Ancelotti before him, was saying the same thing.
Even Vialli admit it.

And Bakayoko was playing, simply because there wasn`t anyone to play, get it? Drinkwater was injured, Barkly was permanent injury, and they both are bad as hell.

You get it now?

Why i even speaking to you, you probably last night was having nightmares ....

 

Conte admitted what Vialli said was bullsh*t and he hadn't spoken to him in years. Stop spouting that quote when your lord and saviour has denied it.

As for having no say, please explain the massive influx of Serie A and Italian signings since Conte signed. Not to mention how much he said he wanted Rudiger and Morata. Oh and look at that, a year later we sign both of those players.

Add Giroud to that list. Conte wanted a target man and got one. Every signing may not have been dictated by him but that doesn't mean none were.

Shhh don't say this, you'll upset @brakeit with facts.

Petulant from Willian, i understand you wanted to start the final and recent league games, but for that one moment where the entire setup of the first team is celebrating... couldn't you just let it slide.

 

Shocked, dont think there's any place for that. But, on the flip side, it adds weight to the talk of players falling out with Conte.  Hazard doesnt strike me as someone seeing eye to eye with him... Cahill refused to back him, too

 

 

IF he is going though, when do you all think it'll be confirmed?  I'd rather it get sorted one way or another by this week tbh

Childish by Willian, but just another sign Conte has lost the dressing room. Hazard complaining about defensive tactics, Willian obviously furious at the manager, Luiz very clearly sidelined, and Courtois looking like he'll walk if Hazard does. sh*tty atmosphere at the club right now, and it needs to end immediately so we can start building positively for next season. Sack Conte now.

 

Couldn't agree more with this tweet, Willian has really annoyed me.

If we do sell him, it sure as sh*t shouldn't be to Man United. Sick of strengthening our rivals for no reason.

Yeah, I'm with you on that 100% 

I don't know why we've turned into Arsenal over the last 5 years, not even Spurs would sell their players to anyone in England, why we do that I'll never know. 

Could you imagine United selling us Matic? Would never happen.

Yeah, I forgave it with Cech because he was an absolute legend and it just felt like respecting his wishes because we chose to replace him (and Arsenal are sh*t anyway), but with Mata and then again with Matic it just felt stupid.

Selling Mata pissed me off immensely, but now looking back on it it was strangely the right decision. He declined rapidly, he was amazing for us when here.

One of the worst ones for me was Sturridge, selling him to Liverpool, and strangely again that wasn't a terrible decision although he gave them an amazing season. Sturridge always had the potential for me, outscored Torres on the wing and we still picked Torres over him and got rid, always made me angry.

I didn't like the sale of Cech either and wait for it, yep STRANGELY THE RIGHT DECISION. I thought at the time Cech was better than Courtois, but Courtois had age on his side and wanted to play, giving Arsenal a very good goalkeeper seemed like a stupid bloody move entirely, but he's turned to absolute sh*t and doesn't even get played that often. 

The sale of Matic needed to happen, but not to our rivals, I still don't agree with that sale. We strengthened Mourinho's team with a familiar player he desperately wanted, Matic hasn't played that bad for United because he's used to his system and way of playing. 

But the worst one I would say was Yossi Benayoun, loaning him to Arsenal. What a stupid f**king decision that was from the board. It was some years ago now, when we won the Champions League I believe, but we gave away our only player who could play with Torres, had a solid preseason, went to Arsenal to win them roughly 10 points on his own with last minute goals he scored. And Arsenal finished above us that season and got into the top 4 along with Spurs, I still scratch my head about that decision, giving Arsenal one of our players so they could effectively finish above us.

Conte wanted Dzeko and the board tried to sign him but he didn't want only 1 year in his contract so that broke apart. Conte got Giroud instead. Conte also wanted Emerson,Rudiger and got both, also Zappacosta.

Even if he wanted Dzeko more he still wanted Giroud. Giroud even said that Conte speaking to him is why he signed for us.

Horrible comments from Conte, saying he got the maximum out of the squad, basically doing what he's been doing all season, exempting himself from blame, instead choosing to blame his players and the board. Pathetic.

 

Funny how Liverpool got top four and are in the CL final, with a midfield consisting of Henderson, Milner and Oxlade-Chamberlain, and sporting two rookie full-backs. We only beat Norwich on penalties lest we forget, and that after a replay. We lost to many inferior sides this season, which ultimately cost us, and yet, if Conte is to be believed, this group of players aren't capable of anything better.

 

Sure Antonio, whatever you say.

Very disrespectful and childish by Willian. That looks like something a high schooler would do.

 may be cause we had better players last season, Fabregas is slow Baka is clueless if he has to do something with ball 
we did give up a lot of goals by playing 3-4-3 this season, so he did the best he could playing defensive

@Theone, regardless of how many times you explain this, many people here still won't understand that Conte just managed to win the league and FA cup with an average team.
In fact, many fans here forgot Jose almost relegate us with the team Conte inherited. And Jose emphasised how reluctant the board were to strengthen the team.
Let's keep on changing managers till we all wake up one day to realise exactly what the problem actually is.

Hello!
Sadly, i dont think Conte will change the way we play, no matter which players we sign during the summer.  He's another Jose [probably even worse]  just goes from one match to another sending out his team to try and squeeze out some kind of positive result. Against any good team we park the bus, home or away. Rely on them missing chances or not playing well. The final straw form me was him basically saying to his players that they are not good enough to compete with Man City, so they went out, played with fear and did nothing more than try to keep the score down. Embarrassing and simply not acceptable! We won the flipping FA Cup, yet i got precious little joy watching that dire excuse for a football match. We look a million miles away from City and Liverpool and do not deserve to be successful playing the way we are. We desperately need a manager that instills real confidence in his players and sends them out to play with respect for all opposition, but to play without fear, home and away.
 
 

If you don't think Conte will change the way we play because we were defensive against City this season, does that mean he used the same approach and formation last season when we beat them home and away or you started watching us play under Conte this season? Funny indeed!

At least this season the biggest problem was lack of goals from our new and big signing Morata that was supposed to replace Diego Costa. Part from Hazard there has to be an offensive player capable of scoring 20 goals in the league, without that player we can forget playing in Champions league every season.

I just don't know what the answer is.

If we sack him, but the board don't back the new man and make sh*t signings again, then what difference is there going to be?

But if the board are willing to spend big and back a manager, why not do that with Conte and see what he can do with a better squad?

He's pissed me off this season with his negativity and tactics, but if the board are willing to back him, 1 more season to see what happens might not be too bad of an idea. But we'll have to sort out the squad problems and the players who have an issue with him, and he'd have to play better football if he wants Hazard to stay.

Also, why give Willian what he wants? With his unprofessional attitude, he doesn't deserve it. We have the power here, if he wants to go to United to be with saint Mourinho, then tell him no.

In the words of The Clash ,conte needs to quickly decide ,should I stay or should i go now.

I’d like him to stay, but not at the expense of hazard and tibo. Clearly he’s putting the ball in board’s court so he can get a massive pay cheque

Hopefully a manager who believes in hard work on the training ground and actually earning his money.

Given what's been going on keeping Conte is every bit as much of a risk as any new appointment.

We have been on a progressive downward spiral for ages and his tactics have been found out.
