Conte needs to take the blame tonight he's let us down against City as well as Arsenal now and we had a great result midweek too.

I'll say this now and I don't care what anyone says. Willian is an average footballer and Musonda Jr is already better than him. Azpilicueta is not a wing back, Antonio you do not move you're best players from there best positions just to accommodate Cahill in the back three he should of kept Azpi there and played Zappacosta if he wanted to give Moses a rest. On a plus point Christensen is fantastic isn't he? Azpi, Luiz and Christensen should be our regular back three from now on. Our midfield three looked tired to be fair and Cesc and Bakayoko will now get a two week rest as they haven't been selected. But I've said it time and time again Cesc is way too slow now when he plays and when he's not having a good game with the ball it's like having ten men. If there is a quality ball playing midfielder available who is younger and more energetic we should target him because Cesc is too slow nowadays. I know it's harsh but I'm not keen on Batshuayi and I don't think Conte is either he just doesn't work hard and press enough for me. My problem is if Conte isn't keen wbu didn't we just sell him. Vardy would be a perfect back up for us. Fast, hungry, goalscorer and an absolute nuisance for defenders. To have him as rotation would be golden. Pedro would make a great squad player for rotation off the bench as he's got a good end product but Willian on the other hand just isn't good enough anymore.

Good post mate. Agree with most of your points.

I am not sure what Conte was thinking today, maybe it was the lack of preparation due to the limited time afforded from the AM game. However, if there is one manager out there that could sort this out then it is Conte.

I am still confident that we will be there fighting for the title until the end. I take positives from last year when we had the exact same points as now.

Loco: Good post and agree with all. Fabregas will always find Morata but as we have said before he needs 'time and space' and he was going to get little against City so that was a mistake playing him. We agree on Bats but many do not and at 24 he is developing too slowly. Clearly Willian and Pedro are impact players although the former seems to be deteriorating by the week. Bayakoko looks like a man that needs a year in the premiership to adjust; enthusiasm and energy in abundance but runs around sometimes like a headless chicken. The issue is without doubt a squad that is not strong enough and I would like to see a Lampard or dare I say it a De Bruyne attacking midfielder to compliment Morata and Hazard.
