oldgit Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 After the Lord Mayor's Show comes the dust cart! Disappointed with the defeat of course but, what irks me more is the manner of the defeat. We were completely outplayed in midfield with no pace and passion about our play. City had pace to burn all over the field and dominated the match. If we left it behind in Madrid then Conte should have recognised this in the two days training since. But he decided to go with virtually the same midfield, only switching Azpilicueta to a wing back role in place of Moses. From early on, Kante and Bakayoko looked lethargic, Hazard was a shadow of the player in Madrid and Fabregas was shown up for his lack of foot. Nothing wrong with our defence which were outstanding, especially Christensen who continues his improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did he go all defensive for ? playing Azpil instead of Moses !!! only starting with 2 attacking players !! deserved to lose because of his negativity, you were playing at home for christ sake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Well, Rudiger looked the business. He held Sane pretty much in check the first half and then Sane moved over to the right for much of the second period. As OG mentioned, Chelsea looked overwhelmed in midfield. Not the last time City will lay waste to a midfield this season. I'd hate to have to defend against KDB and the Silva's with City's wingers/fullbacks stretching the defense. Tsunami-like.

champers Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Two defeats this season and both times Azpilacueta played at right back. Against Burnley there was no alternative, yesterday 2 rbs on the bench. Puzzling, as was not putting Batshuyi on for Morata. Conte outsmarted himself.

Chelsea are the Champions and they let city trample all over them. I guess the strange substitutions were to bolster midfield and get a better possession percentage but I agree with you on Batshuyi for Morata.

Yes, I'm beginning to fear that Batshuayi could be our next Lukaku/De Bruyne. He was in a good run of form, with confidence high, electing to play most of the game with no recognised striker not only helped City but may well have put a dent in Bats' confidence right when we need him most.

He scored. now lets leave Cahill out of the discussion, start a new thread if u want ,and i will certainly take it up with you, Bat Kitkat from my observations, is only a substitute striker, for C/SEA not a run on side striker,as he is not strong enuff in many areas,to cut it out full time ,day in day out in the E.P.L and C/L (, in particular the Big Ones), have always remember that old tyrant Fergie saying years ago any good side needs two top draw strikers in a squad to do well in those above competitions ,presently C/sea may have one Morata and Bat Kitkat is a no no, hence C/sea,s last ditch efforts to sign a old man Llorente,does,nt that tell u something???as for slagging Bat Kitkat ,stop with that B/S, only saying that in my view,he is not what is required by C/SEA under Conte,s managment,and i agree with him,bet any money come the next T/F window,they will be looking for a striker,to replace Bat Kitkat and he will be in the T/F lounge,do hope some mug is willing to pay your 40 mil price tag a lovely morning to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I watched Bosnia Herzegovina v Belgium last night; a cracking game on a muddy pitch that Belgium won 4-3. Hazard was captain and grafted all game for the team, as did Batshuyi who scored a poachers goal when he reacted quickest in the box to tuck away a fumble from Begovic. He played the full 90 and showed great energy throughout. I disagree with ES; I think he is a work in progress and will turn out to be top class; he has the talent. He worked his socks off last night for the team and got into some great positions. Less good goalkeeping and more composure from Batshuyi and he might have scored 2 or 3. I felt it was a mistake not to put him on v City and maybe the result bears that out. Incidentally, Belgium look very, very good. Though not at full strength and with qualification already in the bag, they were 2-1 down at half time but gave it everything in the 2nd half and were deserved winners. BH were 2nd in the group at the start of the game and have a few very good players. I was expecting plenty from Dzecko but he hardly had a look in. Roberto Martinez is doing a good job and has Thierry Henry on the coaching staff. One to follow in the World Cup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evenstevens Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 absoulately dismal performance , worst i have seen in such a long time no cohension at all appeared the players chosen had lead in their boots Conte has no alternative but to change his run on side Willian should never be picked until he shows some decent form, The Rat is best deployed as a second half sub , Luiz should have played along Baka, with young gun Christian taking his place at the back, whilst that Bat Kitkat should be immediately placed in T/F lounge ,and use Pedro as a false number nine until Morata is fit, the above is just for starters, another crucial point is it appears our players are pulling Hammys, thats generally down to the training requirements, being too tough with a heavy load of fixtures on the plate , just rotating players is not the full answer, its getting the balance right at training to coincide with the demand of the congested fixtures, Conte is notorious for his Hard Yakka training , perhaps he should look at himself in the mirrior ,and say are they are running out of gas on me and lighten up their training day schedule, to coincide with the C/L and International matchs, y/day they certainly appeared Zapped from the opening whistle,in summing up he better come up with a soloution pronto , otherwise Roman.s Helicopter is coming out of the hangar,and ???and Conte s constant bantering with the Tabs on his personal life etc etc ,is pure sh#t ,this geezer is on 9 mil plus a year,he is even getting to me, coach and manage the squad given, and pick up your game Conte otherwise you are a dead man walking and by Chrissy Time and perhaps before a lovely morning to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I reckon Conte is looking for the sack I mean it's a nice payday so I don't blame him and he is still probably piiissed off about the Costa debacle which they should have just backed the boss and be done with the muppet. Left a sour taste. Add that to hazards realisation that his aspirations for bigger things are doomed and he will never be a 100m player, that's gotta hurt such a sensitive ego.

Or maybe Conte just has some crucial injuries, maybe its still only eight games into the season and maybe Palace are fighting for their lives and pulled a one off!! They also got great money for Costa and pulled in a clear upgrade in Morata so happy days there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
