re: Chelsea 2017/2018 Season Thread | TYFYS Antonio

All we have to do is go to City and get some points, no big deal

We took off hazard again. I honestly think conte is trying to get sacked and can't figure out why he's not. Down a goal we pull Willian and put in giroud in the 78th. Which he's a great sub but going over hour and half with no changes getting absolutely murdered is unacceptable. I actually don't blame hazard one fricking bit if he leaves us. I want him to excel.

Does Real take off Ronaldo if they're down in the 87th? How about Messi with Barca? No. Why the frick would you take him off? He left Moses and Danny frickface drinkjizz on.

Hello everybody. Read an excellent column in the NY Times about Chelsea.

MANCHESTER, England — On the sideline, in the pouring rain, Antonio Conte did not look much like a manager who supposedly no longer cares, who has apparently long since accepted that his time at Chelsea is nearly over. He shouted and he bawled, at his players and at the officials, at the situation and at the gods. If it is an act, it is a good one.

On the field, meanwhile, Chelsea’s players did not look as if they were harboring dark thoughts of rebellion. They might have struggled to lay a glove on Manchester City; they might have slipped, without much of a whimper, to a dour 1-0 defeat, but they made for strange revolutionaries.

They doggedly remained in shape. They determinedly tracked their runners. They did all they could not to be mesmerized, as so many have been this season, by the swirling patterns City can paint; they closed the space and they gritted their teeth. They stuck to the tasks Conte had given them. Prospective mutineers tend not to follow orders so well.

Chelsea Spins Its Wheels in a Cycle of Its Own Making

He’s gone probably. I’ll be his biggest fan unless we play whoever he goes to. He’s given a lot to this club.

We’re due for a big purchase.i wouldn’t be surprised either way anymore. We should bestarting morata. We should be subbing giroud on for morata if we’re ahead. Emerson should be playing. Willian and hazard should be playing at the same time.

Has he really even played much yet? Still injured?

Yea normally I would turn on him, but I don't even blame him.

Can't wait to buy three average midfielders from mid table EPL clubs to replace him.

Right, he's a solid mid table level midfielder which was obvious to anyone all along. If we are supposed to be competing for titles signings like this are a slap in the face.

yup
