    Indeed it was. Stan probably blames Fabregas for it though....or Mikel.....<laugh>

    If you have Kante, Morgan becomes Maldini.
    If you have Cescy, Maldini becomes Morgan.

    Rome had freedom of Bridge after Luiz was pulled.
    Don't clutch at straws.

    He had a couple of poor moments for sure, but also did well in others. He was not Robinson Crusoe against Roma though, Azpi and Cahill were pretty dreadful and Bakayoko was given a lesson on midfield play by the Ninja. If only we could have signed him !!
    The whole team looked lost running around with little purpose or direction. Apart from Hazard, not a game for the team to remember fondly. We are looking increasingly rudderless, and Cahill is not doing a good job as Captain. That said, it's our midfield that's the real problem, we got overrun and Roma made us look a shadow of last years team.Conte needs to step up, shut up and lift the team. Whingeing about how thin the squad is won't help him or the team, even though he is right to be pissed off.

    Conte is whingeing for a reason, to put pressure on board to release more funds. It's just a game.

    Yes Ninja is Fabregas + mobility!!! Good player.

    Hopefully Kante and Drinky back soon.

    Conte has made his point now and pretty much all us supporters agree with him that he needs 3 top notch reinforcements. I think he should shut it now though, as it does seem to be having the wrong effect on some of the team. Time to put up the shutters and reconnect to the team spirit we had not so long ago. Positive thinking is infectious, we need to catch some.

    Positive thinking is positive thinking, it accounts for zilch, you can be bottom of the league and still have positive thinking. What we need is positive actions/tactics/leadership, I am not going to do a "Stan". but if it were not for luck, we would have been whooped by Roma on Wednesday.

    You're right on the money CP - no coincidence that our purple patch came during Cahill's suspension; it's a sad state of affairs that we couldn't find anyone else to fill position of Club Captain. Whilst I appreciate that Conte has been shafted by his recruitment dept ( take a bow Mr Emenalo "clubs new tea boy"), he has to try and put that behind him, this Watford match has all the potential of another "Burnley" so selection has to be spot from the "get-go" team needs to maintain discipline to stop us becoming a disorganised rabble

    Watford is way better than any of Burnley, Palace.

    We can salvage atleast a point without Cescy. Best could be a point.

    With Cescy no need for the game hand over 3 pts and move on.

    Cescy starting will be a clear "sack me" call from Conte.

    Poor team selection.
    Why go with Caesar as RWB ? Is that to neutralize 2 City Rejects?

    Would have played Luiz in the mid field again over Cescy and Christensen over Cahill.

    No hope against Judas either.

    Draw is what we need. But this line up will get us zero.

    Oh wait, Kante and no Cescy is the only hope on Sunday to salvage a draw against Judas.
