Antonio Conte Needs Time !!!

So every Chelsea fan will be well aware that things are not right at the club at the moment. The team is losing and the players don't look anywhere near capable of challenging for the title. Something is missing from the team a spark a leader or even just a bit of luck. When you look at the players Conte has at his disposal it does make you question how far he can take this team. Diego Costa has started the season so well but he's the bright spark in a team that is seriously lacking cutting edge. When Hazard and Costa play well, Chelsea are scary but when Hazard or Costa doesn't play well Chelsea look disjointed and blunt in front of goal. Conte cannot rely on the form of two player’s to win him the title he needs 11 players all playing for the same cause and at the moment that isn't what we’re seeing at Chelsea.

So is it Conte's fault? To be quite Honest, no I don't think it is, it’s no one’s fault it’s football sometimes teams lose confidence and need a boost. He’s inherited a team that is really lacking fire power and confidence in defense. With John Terry out of the team Chelsea look fragile and even player's like Kante are starting to dip into bad form which after his heroics last season seems crazy. Willian, Hazard and Oscar are not creating enough and Diego Costa is feeding on scraps up top on his own. Overall the team look scared to loose yet not confident enough to win this is a long season and anything can happen. All I hope is Conte gets a season to put it right. It's not his team and he needs time to stamp his vision on the players we all saw what Conte did at the Euro's he got Italy playing as a unit and a team that refused to roll over. Plus I remember Conte as the man who took a dejected Juventus and turned them into the winning machine they are today he just needs time and his players to really show the league what he can do. If he can create the sort of atmosphere we saw at Italy or Juventus at Chelsea then I have no doubt Conte can make Chelsea a force again.

Paul Pogba The Man to Prove Critic's Wrong

So were over a month in to the new season and it hasn't taken long for fans all around the world to start having a go at Paul Pogba. His debut went so well but the Manchester Derby brought Jose his first defeat which was quickly followed by Last night’s Europa League defeat to Feyenoord. So what do we do when we lose we blame someone and who better to blame than the star of the team. It happens at every club Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar so Pogba is in good company but is it fair? quite simply no it's not Football is a team game a team effort and to label one player seems pretty unfair don't get me wrong if he was giving the ball away and scoring own goals then maybe it's fair, but the truth is Paul Pogba is trying so hard to impress you can see being the best and winning means so much to him and with that attitude it's only a matter of time till he proves all his doubters wrong. 

So what’s the problem and why is Paul Pogba getting attacked? Well the problem is various pundits have said he is lacking discipline and an actual position in which he can shine. Playing in the Deep lying role with Fellani means he has defensive responsibilities and playing in the No.10 role mean's outing Wayne Rooney which seems like he's captain isn't going to happen. Yes Pogba can sometimes leave the midfield open as he plays box to box but he can also unlock defences and control a game with his skill and aggression so quite frankly to say he can’t play in the deep lying role is crazy his influence is growing in the team still and once they all settle together Paul Pogba will dominate in most games.  

The funny thing is 3 games ago Paul Pogba was not the problem but the revolution of the Premier League it's only now that Man Utd have lost a couple of games that he is to blame and all of a sudden looks like an overpriced luxury. My Advice to Paul Pogba not that he needs it would be just relax ignore the critics and play you're game I've seen this lad when he was breaking through in the early days coming on against Leeds in the League cup I knew he was class then when I was 19 myself and I no he is class now. Keep it simple keep it high paced and keep it confident. For all those who want to talk Paul Pogba down in the words of Guillem Balague ‘It will be a feast of words come the end of the season'. Pogba will prove his critics wrong!

Thanks for reading and until next week take care.

New Season Time To Focus !!!

Hi everyone hope you're all well and I no it's been along time since I've been creating entries and sharing my thoughts on the football world. The last couple of months I've note really been on it with the blogs but I'm back now and ready to talk the beautiful game once again.

I'm Looking to blog every Thursday so please follow and let me no any subjects you would like me to raise or talk about, football in general is my passion so it doesn't need to be Premier League based it can be anywhere in the world.

This season I want to get a lot more conversation going on my blogs and I really want to create a blog that can get people talking about the drama of this season. So every Thursday I plan to drop a new piece on a recent story or rumor or just even an opinion. I also want to drop a game predictor so every weekend I'll Pick the Top game and do a Prediction on the score and outcome I might even look at turning this into a Vlog feature to mix it up a bit?
I plan to start this from next week on wards so keep an eye out for that.

Thanks everyone and remember let me no you're thoughts in the comments below.

Thanks

Samuel
