Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

Training is different to a match

Yeah, should be far harder than against a bunch of championship reserves.

We were not playing anyone out of position, no excuses for them not stepping in.

They either didn’t try hard enough or were not prepared properly.

Agreed, but if you're playing in a system as rigid as Conte's, bringing in a few different players shouldn't matter. It's not like they're told to go out there and improvise. They're supposed to follow very specific patterns, which have been drilled into them in training.
So the dozens of times that we have seen this happen in cup games and European games shouldn't have happened, but still does.
Do you not think there's a reason beyond effort or knowing a system?
A clever man once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".

it's not enough effort, and mental weakness, and those things are probably cyclical

football is constantly doing the same thing over and over and getting different results

That's the problem. When I watch training, a goal goes in every 30 seconds. It's nonsense.
Everyone comes off the training pitch laughing and hugging, should be a lot more intense, with only a couple of hard-fought goals per session.
That is how you work out a way to break down a proper defence.

thats not the proper training, that’s all staged for social media
 
Poch in tonight/tomorrow is the only way to salvage something from this season

What exactly can be salvaged?

Best thing is to stack it completely to ensure we finish outside of Europe so we can concentrate on the important things, but we'd contrive to find a way of failing at failing and no doubt be inadvertently entered in to the Europa conference league through some odd technicality.

If we tried that we'd get relegated.

Level on points with Liverpool with 10 games to play.

I think everyone will be amazed at the bump we get by taking the handbrake off, playing with at least a 4th offensive player and a little bit of freedom
 
Play Kane or Kulu in ACM with three other attackers on

I've said before, I'd go

..........................................Lloris/Forster....................................
Royal...............Romero...............................Dier....................Davies
...........................Sarr/Skipp.................PEH................................
Porro..................................Kulu..................................Son/Richarlison
.......................................Kane..................................................
