Conte - great start but been a bloody disaster lately. I expected that he could set up a defensivly solid team at the very least.

Cesc ruins a tired 10 man team and all of a sudden he MUST play. Are we all children in here?

 

Cahill and Ivan need to go, which has been apparent for 18 months......... 

the only excuse i can make is we've had a relatively unfair run of fixtures recently, but even so we shouldn't be playing so lackadaisical and without intent. we are laboured with no urgency. very frustrating.

Conte deserves so much more fault than he is getting.  Picking the same f**king team every game, slow starts EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.  Sitting back defensively like cowards EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.  Picking utter dross EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.  We are staring another mid table season right in the f**king face.  

This is not Conte at all. The team were atrocious in Jose's last season, they were average under Hiddink and I believe that, despite the current score, they are an improved team under Conte. 

The harsh reality is, in my view, the squad simply is not good enough.

conte has to work with what he's got unfortunately (and injuries to key defensive players doesn't help the cause) and we didn't get his defensive targets and are paying the price now

Conte has to take some flack as well as the players. This back four is simply not technically good enough to play the ball out from the back yet Conte has them playing in a way that invites pressure on them.  Three games in a row 2 down before we have looked like kicking off. We are entering games with a poor attitude and set up for defeat.

Exactly what happened with Mourinho

Mourinho couldn't do it, Hiddink couldn't do it, and now Conte can't do it. Maybe it's not the managers that is the problem, maybe it's the players.

Bring forward our youth back four, Aina is already in the first squad, and should surely be playing at RB.

Why the f**k don't we ever meet a teams f**king asking price? This saving money and keeping sh*t players who have proved their sh*t is just amazing. If we want to compete with the big clubs we have to spend on the needs if our team. Of course we were going to overpay this year because we can't offer European football.

I hate even writing this because growing up we never had these expectations but now with the new look of the club it brings all this pressure and then disappointment at the product on the field

They all chose to pick Ivan though.

Cahill is now a complete liability. We were going to be up against it today as it was. To gift them a goal like he did is unforgivable and he's making mistakes like that every single game right now.

Hazard has been absolute dog sh*t so far today. He's been lazy defensively and done nothing in attack except give the ball away and make poor decisions. 

It's a shame that a couple of players playing so badly has meant we've thrown away a game so quickly.

A draw would be a miracle right now. 

Dont know what Conte can do if players aren't doing their jobs properly. 

The game ain't over guys , one goal before the half and we are back in it ...

Most of us wanted fabregas in the game but he's been pretty bad so far , yet some are blaming conte for arsenal goals when our board is not competent enough to buy quality defenders in the past 2 seasons 

We beat arsenal twice last year and they still finished in front of us so I couldn't care if we lose to arsenal or Sunderland a loss is a loss , I think we just got used to play really well against big clubs and this year we looked pretty poor

 

it's a long season guys zouma and terry will be back soon :)

Simply put, do not agree.  But respect your opinion.  We lack shape at the back, yet we rely on our defense to stay in games by parking the bus EVERY GAME.  We are horrendous going forward, even with the magical Fabregas who everyone has been clamoring for.  And it's because he requires too much from his central midfielders.  My God, Wenger isn't asking Cazorla and Ozil to run around the pitch winning the ball back.  No, they relieve the pressure by actually, you know, playing offensive football.  Who would have thought?!  Attacking players, playing attacking football.

 

Conte has no idea what he's doing right now in my opinion.  He was masked early on by playing the lightest schedule of all the big clubs, and even then we started off incredibly slow, needing late goals to get wins.  

teams will look at liverpool's tactics and try it against us. we don't even look like we can press anymore. i remember a couple seasons back we could press with ease, pressing was our bread and butter.
