Even if Conte has made a fist of it I feel City would of found a way. Only lost by the one goal both games. Still 5th looks doable and EL still on. As long as the gooners go toe to toe with our uttter collapse in form. Palace game is huge now !

We will never know because he approached it like a sh*tebag

Give it Jody Morris till the end of the season...

You can't be serious, that was a gutless performance from the manager, you have two striker's and play none then bring one on 3 minutes from the end that's absolutely disgraceful

Conte's given up, suspect if he is still here for Barca he will turn it on for that match because of the international audience.

He is a bitter man and as he does not feel he has the tools for the job it appears he is playing a game of self-sabotage and daring RA to sack him and pay him off.

Well forget top4 it’s over.

people will look at this game and United.

but for me the defeat to Bournemouth and Watford prior to this was a big disgrace 

Don't forget, Palace, West Ham and Burnley

They may have found a way, but there is no excuse for not making them work for it. We gave them one of the easiest games they could ask for when playing against one of the top sides. I bet even City expected Edenson to have at least 1 save to make.

Not a surprise result or a surprise how conte set us up. 

Simply not good enough and we have to be better than this. It is unacceptable for Chelsea to play this way. Losing to City can happen but playing the way this sounds we played is not good enough.

Awful performance. I would have though 1-0 beforehand was ok but not with that absolutely sh*t performance.  Dire. Absolutely dire.

Immediately i saw the false 9, I know we wouldnt get anything out of this match.

Play a striker ffs, even if it is to hoof the ball to him, do it, force them to defend too and you might score.
We should be trying to outscore teams, not "outdefend" if that word exists them.

Pathetic!

We can't let a manager who is going to leave make one of our best players go too.

jose done it with a few and conte already done it with the best striker in the PL at the time.

if we lose Hazard because of conte it will haunt us for a very long time 

Only way he stays is diego simeone and a spending spree, but Roman now wants to be Arsenal so doubt it 

Conte out

City broken a 15 year record for most passes in a PL game. 902 passes. Against the champions and the team 5th. Unforgivable if I put that sort of performance at work I'd be sacked.

Only positive to take from the game is it was only 0-1

Over 50 years watching Chelsea and never been this down hearted

I can only manage 45 years and we have had worse times but in the 21 century maybe not many worse than this.

Conte was an absolute tool again.  Finally when we get two strikers on we start getting into the City box but... oh look, we've run out of time!  What a tosser of a manager he is turning out to be.

Time for Conte to be shown the door.

Has a fractured relationship with Hazard and has clearly lost the dressing room.

Shame because I thought he was different to that odious twat at Old Trafford but they have massive similarities.

Europa League it is for us next season.

I would definitely sack Conte just to keep Hazard happy, he's completely lost it now

That’s what c**te set up for

I’ve had enough, Conte out!

Yeah conte has been dreadful last couple of months but also a good few of the players have been dreadful, Pedro shouldn't even be on the bench with how dreadful he's been, cesc today was shocking, Moses can't do anything right, but just look who we have available to play instead.

How the f**k Conte has managed to go from champions to this in the space of a few months is unf**kingbelieveble...

What's irritating is I think this group of players is not nearly the worse we have had, with some balls and motivation this team could beat anyone on the day

Made my feelings clear in the Conte thread, but to summarise: Utterly shameful performance. Conte is not the man to take us forward. The way he is clearly baiting Roman to sack him and get his payoff is disgraceful. He should be removed with no compensation if there is a way to do it.

That was the game plan.

Get out of the club ffs

Does anyone know if Abramovic is still knocking around? I know he was usually at the Bridge on match days but, I can't recall seeing him at a game in ages. I wonder if he's still remotely interested...
