    He has no right to be in this position - top of the table with 4pt lead .
    He has exceeded all the expectations. More or less Conte has done a Leicester.

    But, Looked a broken man at OT. He doesn't deserve this s#!t.

    Only striker wants to play in China.
    Only Decent winger wants to play in Spain. (Other being Willian out of touch / form due to personal reasons)
    GK crooked. understudy not so good or out of touch.
    Has one & Only world class midfielder.
    one Decent but Maverick Central Defender.
    Makeshift full / wing backs.

    I am pretty sure he doesn't know whether to play 343 or 4231 or 442 next game.
    4th spot is 99% confirmed, but still we can screw up if he is naive enough to pick Costa, Cahill & Cescy.

    Hope he learns his lesson soon enough.

    Don't think it's that bad.
    Costa is a waste of oxygen, great when he tries, which isn't often enough.
    Hazard repeatedly says he's not going anywhere, Pedro has been excellent, Willian needs more game time.
    GK injured, but has also been good.
    We have 2 world class and one just below, midfielders, and 2 potentially good 'uns who never play.
    Luiz is better than good and so is Zouma, who needs to play.
    Wing backs have been absolutely exceptional, and Ake hasn't pulled his boots on yet.

    So Conte has plenty to choose from, he just needs to trust his reserves more.
    As for the FA game, play anyone for mine and get the first choice 11 fit and motivated. Shouldn't be hard when we're this close.

    The bit in bold I agree with, the rest is just spastic drivel.

    Stan is getting a bit overwrought as the title chase starts to squeeze. He does need to learn to chill out and sleep on his posts before hitting the "send" button. Tomorrow morning is a better time to post.

    Aye I don't mean to be harsh to the guy.
    He has just been doing this all season.
    He held a massive over the top hatred for Mikel for ages, then when he left he turned his venom on to Alonso, then when Alonso started playing well, he switched to Fabregas, then when he started becoming a good impact sub and giving us a good attacking outlet, he switched to Cahill!
    He just always seems to unfairly target a single player and make over blown statements like "If Cahill starts we will definitely lose".

    Then his insistence on the PL being Jose's to lose.
    I could understand someone saying that at the start of the season, but when Man united were lying in 6th place, 18 points behind us, about a month ago, he was still insisting they were the team to be careful of, all the while Spurs were (and are) sneaking up on us.

    Now he seems to think our team is utter ****, Hazard wants out (despite specifically stating to the contrary), and our makeshift wing bucks are no good, despite Alonso and Moses playing bloody well for most of the season, infact this dip in form has coincided with Moses being absent through injury, there may be a link there?

    I just sometimes think he lives in another world :)

    Never hated Mikel. Just hated his performance or lack of it for our team <doh>

    Cescy is awful - plain & simple. Conte concurs with me.

    Cahill is playing only because of Zouma's injury and lack of match fitness.

    I single out the performance of awful players like Cahill - who are not just at our level. Nothing personal.

    regular England international, C.L winner, Europa league winner, P.L winner, FA cup winner, league cup winner. Yeah you're right, Cahill isn't at our level. <doh>

    To call players like Cahill and Cesc 'awful' is embarrassing. These are players top managers like Conte and Jose have played regularly. You know better I guess. :emoticon-0138-think

    You made THOSE exact statements about Mikel.
    See where he is now.

    People like Mikel & Cahill are thrust into a great team and made to look decent.
    Cahill is not even at Jones or Smalling level.

    Awww **** off <laugh>
    I am not a huge Cahill fan admittedly.
    He can be inconsistent, he is no JT.

    But to say he isn't at Phil Jones or Chris Smalling's level.....
    Just no......

    You bizarre man!

    How many games Cahill started last year or year before when Smalling & Jones were fit?

    Ok now I literally have no idea what you are talking about.........

    I do know Cahill has played in 31 games this year, and we have won 24 of them.
    And he played in 36 games in 2015, when we won the league title.

    I'm referring to England starts.

    When Jones & Smalling were fit, those two are always preferred over Cahill. They both are much younger than Cahill to become England regulars.

    agreed?

    Who gives a **** about England?
    I haven't watched an England match in years.
    I do know Phil Jones hasn't played for England for years though, so not sure what you are talking about.
    Just checked Cahill's stats and he had 16 England caps last year to Smallings 8 and Jones' 0.

    I actually don't think Cahill is that inconsistent. he's a solid player and will give you 6.5/8 out of 10s against most sides.

    Against top class sides he gets found out as they normally have someone pacey and can run with it who scares the **** out of him or they generally press us quite high up. Added with our lack of ball playing Kante and Matic it normally means Cahill ****s himself and hoofs the ball so we lack possession. Zoumas distribution is also totally lacking

    Fabregas is so **** that he's played for Spain over 100 times, winning a World Cup and two Euros, and played nearly 100 games for Barca.

    You spanner Brother Stan.
