Conte needs some lesson on crises mgt: the way he handled Costa's case leaves a lot to be desired.

Heck, Rooney held us to the balls on two occasions, submitting transfer requests and all what not yet he was managed adequately. Conte rushed to take a decision and now damage control will be difficult.

You guys can try and sign Gbolahan Salami although his Finland club just renewed his contract. Its worth a shot.

We are walking a tightrope.

What would become of this team if Kante gets injured or suspended?

Bakayoko - Fabregas combo? God forbid!

Couple of things need to be gotten right before the window closes. I believe a CM and a LWB would suffice.

Drinkwater and Ox for me.

Instead of facing Rooney situation head on, you ended up appeasing him and paying a dud £300k per week for 4 years, then paying him £10m to leave.

It is better we face our situation head on now than end up in Rooney situation.

Getting goals is the least of our problems, so i am not bothered about Costa.

Moses and Alonso are hardly defensive flankers, they are much more attack oriented in our setup. Hazard who has been out for a while now brings a lot of quality to that forward line and he has been sorely missed. The triumvirate of Pedro, Morata and Hazard looks good on paper and is yet to be tried out. So i won't bother myself about Costa, atleast for now.

The midfield and full-backs are areas work needs to be done.

One thing I noticed about our wingbacks versus theirs is that Arsenals wingbacks are natural ball carriers.

Bellerin and Ox drive up field with the box and create space.

Moses is the only one that does that for us, and to a limited extent sef. Alonso doesn't really run with the ball, instead he chooses to take up good attacking positions...and hopes that sombedy finds him with a good pass.

Unfortunately with Hazard out, we only have Fab and Willian to carry the ball and try and find players in space. Maybe we can add Luiz to that. And Willian is not even that good sef.

This one reason why there was such a huge gap between midfield and attack yesterday. Most of our players are runners off the ball...unlike Arsenal where them dey show for pass at all times.

Can't we just shift to 352 so that Morata can at least use his first touch at number 10?

Rooney's situation was treated to the best of abilities of the manager as at the time of request. Its best to sort it out peacefully for the time being while you search for options; then take decisive action when and only when your desired option is available.

Fergie handed the Rooney problem over to Moyes so in a bid not to disrupt the peace and amiable atmosphere at old trafford, Moyes gave Rooney that ridiculous offer.

And Conte is simply doing what Fergie would have done to Rooney has he stayed.

When i said Conte was wrong in the manner he handled the Costa issue many people here were up in arms, apparently salivating at the chance of getting "Mr First Touch". Now i am seeing posts like "please who can help us beg Costa?".

Una never see anything. This team as presently constituted will struggle to score goals as long as Hazard is not playing and the goals are not even guaranteed when he gets back if Mr First Touch and the highly unproductive Willian are the ones complementing him.

The 3-4-3 Conte is using is not the fundemental problem, rather it is the personnel being employed to implement it. This can be deduced from the fact that you guys have struggled against other big teams that have employed the same formation or variants of it e.g Arsenal, Spurs and United.
These teams have players better suited to the formation especially in the key areas of central midfield and wingback.

Na Seun block your main account?

You have a point up there but then taking good attacking positions isn't an entirely bad idea for a team who are looking to tear you apart.

With players who are constantly positioned in wide areas, a team achieves two things:

1. Stretches the pitch to its limit
2. Creates plenty of room for passing in the midfield.

Alonso and Pedro's run are essential in many ways.

I believe its much more easier to deal with ball carriers than runners.

A 3-5-2 is a system that would benefit every ninja in our team. Luiz and co can play their game, Cesc would have little defensive duties to worry about, Morata would get the chance to link up with a man up-front.

It is one hell of a flexible system that addresses the weakness of a 3-4-3.

This image of our team sheet yesterday suggest that Morata was poised to start the match but was replaced by Pedro at the last minute.

The question is, why the last minute change?

And na the Pedro come chop red card!

True, but when you don't have anybody to pass the ball to them, that's when we are in trouble.

Hazard was the one knitting the play for us in the final third. He will come deep to collect the ball and then deliver it up top.

Of course it also helped that we had Costa as well to hold up the ball and let the runners fund space.

Now that we don't have a target man, and we don't have Hazard, our 343 system looks really wack. Like you I think the 352 is the one. We can have the centre mids surging up to join the attack duo if needed with Fab at the base spraying passes
