Very concerned about Conte's pre-match interviews - he seems very negative of getting into the top 4. Where has his bounce and enthusiasm gone? He strikes me as wanting to be anywhere but at Chelsea at the moment.

Just when I thought we have found a long term coach in Conte. He's frustrated and would be leaving come end of the season. The board has let him down by not supporting him in his desired transfers.
Unfortunate he came around when cfc have decided to be spectator in the market. He's the passion and drive for the game like Mourinho but with less baggage.
Again I struggle to see a better replacement for him atm. Names being banded around do not feel me all optimism either. I would like to see Conte given more time and accorded necessary support in the transfer. I believe in him but it seems he had completely fell out with the board. However he would seamlessly get another big job given his reputation. Look how ordinary Guadiola was last season but became a coach and team once he sorted out desired transfer targets. In today's football, without adequate investments in the squad the best become average. Chelsea always had many worldies but I can't vouch for 4 in our team.

I agree with a lot of this but would say conte hasn’t helped himself regarding being to open about frustrations with board and transfers. although his correct in what he has said you don’t air your laundry in public, and also tactically where we took teams by surprise and would press high and win ball back this year with all the extra games we haven’t pressed high and fast and been on back foot and to negative, I get frustrated with him and players, but if the board let him see last year out and backed him more with better attacking players then who knows the old conte would be back and enjoying time at Chelsea.
