The fact is we have regressed this season and not kicked on from the excellent finish last season. We have been extremely inconsistent and i am firmly of the opinion that all of this is a result of the limbo we find ourselves in with the managers situation, Paratici, Kane etc etc. It's affected our form, our players and our recruitment.
You don't think the injuries, and fixture congestion with the WC in the middle of the season have created a level of inconsistency?
Just looking at the two players who helped create the "excellent finish" last season - Kulusevski and Bentancur have played a combined 2860 minutes out of 4860 possible - that is missing over 40% of the season.
Romero has played a bit over 60%
Richarlison, a key summer signing, under 30%
Doherty never regained his fitness and form following injury late last year.
Son's form fell off a cliff.
None of this had anything to do with Conte's contract situation, and whether or not he would extend beyond this summer.
