Before tonight I thought Conte had a chance, WRONG.
Cahill totally useless, way too slow, Bakayoko, touch of an elephant.
The rest of the team slow, passing rubbish and embarrassing to watch.
Hang your heads in shame, 7 goals in two games and against supposed lower opposition.
Words fail me if you want Conte out, you've done.
Our top players will be leaving and rightly so.
Champs last year Chumps this year.

Conte now has my blessings to be sacked cos from what i have seen he wants to be sacked. The man is destroying what he has built with his own hands.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

05 Feb 2018 22:12:05
Not interested anymore and wants a way out. Whether it's the players or the board he has had enough.

Now who is changing his stance Obinna!

I have been hammered on here for weeks by most I said Conte out weeks ago enough is enough out tonight

I just watched Conte's post match press conference (which is a must see) ; from what he said I think that the board also shares a huge blame (maybe promises were made to him that wasn't kept) . He kept saying that he's being warning everyone how difficult it's going to be. I don't just like what's going on anymore.

Gola his lost the dressing room which is quite clear to us all.

However, a man that continues to play the same mistakes and then goes on to repeat the same crap after every defeat should get no sympathy. Baka was awful. Cahill played his part in two goals. Moses was casually jogging like he was going for a sunday morning stroll in the park for watford's 2nd. Fabregas still has water in his boots from the Roma game and this is evident from the 2nd goal. Why do you not go out like a rogue. Take gambles and play youngsters.

When Conte is sacked, the cycle starts again lads. The new manager will not change our fortune with the players at his disposal. The board won't spend astronmical fees on big players. We will lose hazard, courtois etc. History would suggest that we win the league next year lol. However, its unlikely.

Long process of rebuilding. I think the club will try a different model. Maybe similar to monaco. Long process but develop young academy players.

I don't agree that Conte wants to leave - everything he has said over the past week indicates the opposite and that he wants to stay.
Conte asked for backing from the owner and board - why not offer him a 2 year extension to his contract? Then we'll know if he is planning to leave or not.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 20:49:18
Please conte show some balls and put Giroud and Odson from the second half. Something have to change as we going to lose this kne 100%.

Almost as if Conte wants to be sacked - starting again with Bakayoko, poor substitutions. I posted (but not put up) that he had to take Bakayoko off before the red card. He looked clueless andlikely yet again o lay on goal for opposition.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 21:17:50
why wait with subsitutes, we are creating nothing. Please just change someone now.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 21:49:43
Utterly dreadful first half performance and I fear the manager has lost interest or the players and though I was a huge supporter he may have to go though Bakayoko and Cahill terrible. Two humiliating defeats in succession something has to give.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 22:12:06
Abrahimovich, we are waiting for you to come and do us the honours.

Agree2 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 22:50:21
Its easy to blame the coach when things go wrong but Conte work with what is signed for him by the board obviously. Chelsea take a step forward and two backwards. I won't blame the coach but the board.
We are a team in decline and like I said earlier, Roman Abramovich should check himself and decide what is the best for him. He had better chose between doing the needful, buying quality players or selling the club to ever willing buyers and stop embarrassing us Chelsea fans. Call me an ingrate all you want but our problems have been bare to see. Refusing to take the next after one successful season to push us through to one of the best teams in the world.
Even Alex Ferguson wouldn't last more than two years in this our style. It doesn't matter who our manager is. We are being left behind by city, etc now.
Again I don't care if hazard goes as I now see he has attitude problem. Far too inconsistent and causes unrest in the team.

LRD that won't happen.

Hazards brilliance then rubbish defending walked past Zappa Cesc and Cahill useless.

Conte now must just play the youngsters too many senior players not playing sack the lot absolute disgrace.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 20:42:52
Hard not to be negative and even before the red but what do pedro Moses bakyoko and willian offer. they either can't take a man on or have any strength or end product and the one with strength can't pass tackle shoot or control a ball.

Yeap. Rubbish rubbish rubbish. Reminds me that year Jose left.

Fuming with this. even with 11 we were out thought and conte tactically humiliated,

Agree2 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 21:00:40
have to agree lads moses has dropped off a lot this season bakayoko is woefull drinkwater average fabregas average zappacosta quiete ridicolous signing to be honest pedro has been awful this season willian is hit or miss hazard goes missing a lot aswell an we tend to blame others.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 23:55:11
Cahill needs to be added to that list.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 19:19:41
I wonder what's happened to Alonso?

All wtf is Cahill in fhe team for. Why doesn't he fall foul to the hamstring syndrome?

Believable6 Unbelievable0

05 Feb 2018 20:47:55
Cahill got done badly for pace for that penalty.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 20:55:05
Whole team is playing poorly. no passion, no desire to play for Conte.
Atleast now give a chance to Hudson odoi and Giroud.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 23:46:26
So predictable again in the line up bored already.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 19:03:08
Bench does looks stronger now with the two additions. Hope to see Hudson- Odoi.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

05 Feb 2018 19:17:11
Bakayoko AGAIN! Richarlison's movement will cause Cahill problems so I would have had Rudiger instead. Hopefully as he is an impact player we get Pedro to do his 45 minutes and then introduce Hudson-Odoi. A must win game.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 20:57:44
Bakayoko needs time to adjust with the pace of English football. everyone can see that apart from Conte.

At least Ampadu could have done better job than bakayoko.

Agree2 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 18:10:58
Looks like we will start without a sticker again tonight I don't no how fit giroud is but if he's available surely he has to start we can't play with the same team as Wednesday night.

Something that's always baffled is why does Hazard never have a go at free kicks because he can do everything else?

I only recall him taking one against City in the FA Cup two years ago when we won 5-1 and he scored it. I'd like to see him given a run of them on the right. Willian's good but doesn't always play and Luiz is very hot and cold taking them.

Ed01 I'd like to know your opinion on Conte wanting a public vote of confidence from the board.

Can you see him being here next season? Got to admit, none of his (many, many) reported potential replacements excite me.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

{Ed001's Note - I found that truly bizarre to be honest. Sounds weak to me. A confident manager does not need or want things like that. It really does suggest he is no self-belief left and that suggests he won't see out the season.}

05 Feb 2018 11:53:54
A strange one I admit but I would go for Gary Rowett.

Agree0 Disagree8

05 Feb 2018 12:15:01
Having the media on your back week after week after week is not easy. All Conte was asking was just some support from the club to slow down the rumours so he can get on with his job.

I don't see anything weak about it. If the club either extend his contract or state that they are confident in him it would slow down the rumour story's somewhat.

he doesn't seem like someone who's wanting out. He's saying all the right things and seems generally committed.

Agree3 Disagree1

05 Feb 2018 14:33:19
I thought it weird sounds like someone needs a hug
It's a results led business and when results aren't good your boss isn't going to say hey don't worry your doing a great job hang in there old boy we've got your back after spending 100s of millions
Why would the board back him after publicly having a go at there transfer policy
I think he's offering an ultimatum back me or sack me policy then he looks good at the end of it
And there certainly not going to back him before the next few tricky matches then wear would that leave them if we lost
All politics what happened to just playing football.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 14:50:08
Thanks for reply by the way ed001.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 15:32:13
You have to have sympathy with Conte. They are playing poorly overall but hanging onto the big spending clubs n their quest for at least a top four finish, they definitely have not built on last seasons unlikely title win and just spent £50m on unfit players, none I would suggest the choice of Conte, probably fill the positions he wanted players for but someone has looked for 'bargains'. He is mirroring the Mourinho reign which I have pointed out as have several newspapers, they are NOT both in the wrong. There is something fundamentally wrong at Chelsea Football Club.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 16:08:42
Sounds like hazard if you read ed001 on rumour page.

Agree0 Disagree1

05 Feb 2018 17:08:43
GFG: Probably there is a lot of truth in his comment because that has circulated at the ground on match days. With Mourinho Hazard came up again alongside Fabregas who probably had the finger pointed at him the most and was interviewed on the subject. If RA is strong with his managers surely he would not tolerate that sort of behaviour from a player. Hazard is very good but not 'that' good and he fuels a lot of the Madrid rumours.

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 17:35:15
Sorry Ed001 but completely disagree. He wants the statement because the media tried to sack him last year before the Leicester game at home and are doing it again. Conte has got worse scrutiny than Jose at Utd, Pep at City, Klopp at Liverpool or Pochettino at Spurs. Pep is being lauded as a genius after spending god knows how much to win and Pochettino and Klopp both time after time have choked at the big occasion. Even last year when we were winning they were trying to create nonsense. Only manager who gets close to that disrespect from journalists is Wenger.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - if you say so, but if a manager is worried about what the media says then he is weak.}

05 Feb 2018 18:17:14
No worse than Klopp's comments dismissing the away game at Spurs earlier this season, he was clearly worried about what the media says. Same with Pochettino almost every interview.

Agree0 Disagree1

What do people think of this Leon Bailey then including you Ed? I personally think he looks class but there's also that doubt he could be Schurrle Mark 2 although I did like Andre at Chelsea he was decent for us. Baileys pace is devastating. We definitely need a left footed RW to give us a new dimension. I'd love us to sign 2 and get rid of Willian and Pedro for a fresh start. Mahrez would be my first choice he just oozes quality and then Bailey would be a cracking rotation option with Hudson-Odoi replacing Hazard in cup games.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - he is better than Schurrle, Bailey is top class.}

05 Feb 2018 07:53:30
Bailey may be a good signing but cannot understand why you would wish to get rid of Willian in particular - we need a much stronger squad to compete with Manchester clubs and on a number of fronts and Willian has proven quality in premier league and should be part of that squad.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 09:22:54
Willian is good but too inconsistent just because he’s currently playing well is why you want to keep him. I agree though Ed Bailey looks Class id go for him and Mahrez.

Agree3 Disagree0

05 Feb 2018 11:00:41
def won't get him then ed001 ;) (if he's top class)

only gd thing is if his Instagram wasnt fake, he was wearing a Chelsea shirt saying "dream"
