Conte needs to make at least a couple of changes now and get them right. Can't see it, though. He'll stick with it for too long and we'll concede again, I think.
This is worse than the Arsenal performance - and that was utter horseshit. The amount of individual errors is unbelievable. Tactics are so **** too, **** all about us.
They are first to every ball, winning every 50:50, we're pulling out of tackles like they're going out of fashion. Bissouma needs to be doing much, much more to stake a claim to his place in the side. He's supposedly fresh.
Sub all the back three and take two of the CMs off for Skipp and Lucas. Go 343 and just ****ing go for it. I’d rather lose 3-0 going for it than sit through any more of this turgid bollocks.
Probably time for some legs down the left and in midfield and a change of shape. Sess, Skipp and Lucas for Perisic, Bentancur and Bissouma, if I was Conte.
Game over. Big, big questions need to be asked. We are essentially equivalent to Arsenal in Wenger's latter years. Enough individual quality to beat the smaller teams, but we totally come apart as soon as we face a proper challenge. Conte has handled this season atrociously.
Utterly dreadful tonight. And about time we were punished for being crap rather than picking up results we don’t really deserve. I hope this is a kick up the arse that’s needed.
Toothy ****. In all seriousness are you supposed to play on from an offside? Obviously you don’t stop if it’s inconsequential but most of the time if there’s a shot they blow up.
