Giles Smith's Thursday Thoughts

Columnist Giles Smith's glass is undoubtedly half full as he reflects on events in the east end, as well as providing his thoughts on Antonio Conte's touchline demeanour...

We’ve always loved the League Cup around these parts – or the EFL Cup, as it’s now known. We loved it when it was big enough to have a sponsor, and we love it now that it doesn’t but merely sounds as though it does, EFL being easily mistaken for some kind of energy provider.
Hot tip, there, incidentally, for the FA Cup, come the day that the big-name blue-chip companies no longer want to climb on board. Label it the EFA Cup and bingo: everybody will think it’s got something to do with electricity or gas and nobody will notice that the cash-rich backing has evaporated.

Anyway, all praise to the EFL. If we’re going to have tournaments which are everybody’s lowest priority in any given season, let them be like this one, I say. After all, there’s a rare kind of magic about it. Going a long way in the EFL is good, clearly. And yet being free of it, as we now are, following last night’s surprising but well-contested fourth-round defeat to West Ham, is also good, decongesting the fixture list, going forward, and freeing us up to concentrate on more important things, such as this Sunday’s Premier League game away to Southampton. Very few other cups offer that sort of win-win scenario, rain or shine.
We also need to thank the EFL for providing the first official opportunity for Chelsea fans to travel out to Stratford and begin to get their money’s-worth from a venue in which we are all, as tax-payers, stakeholders. The London Stadium seems to be attempting to be the first Premier League ground to champion a ‘sit wherever you like’ approach – which is touchingly retro of it, though I’m not sure it’s going to catch on, any more than rattles and flat caps are poised for a comeback.
It’s certainly not going to catch on if there are many more repetitions of last night’s incidental action in the Sir Trevor Brooking stand. Next time we buy West Ham a stadium, do you think we should get them one with some properly separated sections in it? Just a thought.
Was there anything disrespectful about the behaviour of our manager in the closing stages of Sunday's impeccable eclipsing of Manchester United? 'Not for me, Clive,' as Andy Townsend used to say.
In common with everyone else, I've rapidly become an admirer of Signor Conte's notably physical, full-body approach to game-time coaching, a style of operating which brings into play all of the major muscle groups.

Clearly, in this respect, the manager had us all on day one, against West Ham again, when his celebration of our second goal practically took him into the middle tier of the East Stand and then over the railway and into the cemetery before seeing him head up the Fulham Road and eventually crash through the window of the Starbucks outside the Chelsea & Westminster hospital. Here, one instinctively felt, was a manager one could do business with.
At the same time, I've also come to admire the manager's remarkable restraint in this area - in the sense that his vigorous mid-match activities, for all their abandon, are very carefully confined to his own part of the pitch. Never does his business take him into the opposition's technical area, unlike certain Arsene Wengers we could mention. Signor Conte is never, it seems to me, pointing or shouting or dancing in the face of anybody who doesn't need or want to hear it, let alone looking to score a cheap and ungracious point at a tender moment for anyone connected with the other side. He seems to be entirely wrapped up in his own work, in fact.

So I'm not sure that Jose Mourinho had any cause to worry about being discourteously mocked last weekend, as was alleged. And I wouldn’t have thought so even if the complaint hadn’t come from somebody famous for sliding half the length of Old Trafford on the knees of his trousers, not to mention bounding onto the pitch like a horse stung by a wasp after certain critical Champions League victories at the expense of Barcelona. (We enjoyed that, too.)

The fact is, that N’Golo Kante goal, even more than the Eden Hazard one which preceded it, was an absolute work of art in a frame. If a coach can't get swept up in a moment of football like that from the team he has spent the week preparing then Signor Conte is right and it probably is time to think about jacking it in and embroidering handkerchiefs for a living instead. And as for disrespecting our late, great coach, far from it: I don't suppose he was in anybody's mind at all at that overwhelmingly brilliant moment.
With regard to the whipping-up of the crowd near the end, it can't be denied that for the best part of ten minutes or so, late in the game, our friends in the visitors' section had been the most audible thing in the ground, churning out a long, repetitive chant in a fairly obvious attempt to induce a kind of cosmic trance in which none of this was happening to them. (Fair play. We've all been there.)
But that drop in intensity in the home stadium of a comfortably winning team is hardly unusual. Late on in a spectacular pasting (be it of United or anyone else), the volume can sometimes dip and the crowd can just occasionally find itself going into a comfortable, feet-up-in-front-of-the-fire mode, basking in the warm glow rising from the rubble of the demolition it has just witnessed. Yet, though this is clearly pleasant enough for those of us in the stands doing the basking and the glowing, it must feel a bit odd, or even slightly disappointing, for the players and the coaching staff, whose work, ideally, is never done until the final whistle. It can't hurt us to be reminded of those feelings every now and again - particularly if we like the idea of supporting a team where, as on Sunday, Cesar Azpilicueta is still in the opposition's half and snapping away at people's ankles in the second minute of time added on with the points long ago secured. And I think, on the whole, we do like that idea.

No disrespect, then, in the whipping-up and the celebrating: just a valuable point well-made by Signor Conte - a man of whom it will never be said, '4-0 and you still don't sing.'

Rotated Chelsea remind us of their limitations

Chelsea’s impressive run came to an end last night in a disappointing 2-1 defeat to West Ham at the London Stadium.

The Blues started brightly but were stunned by two West Ham goals from nothing, and then struggled to break the resilient hammers down once they had the lead.
Antonio Conte’s side were sloppy in attack, wasting plenty of chances and putting poor deliveries into the box throughout the game. Michy Batshuayi was particularly isolated up front.

Things brightened up with the introduction of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa later on, but even they were guilty of missing opportunities, and it was too little too late in the end. Gary Cahill’s late goal was a consolation, but really should have been at the very least an equaliser given the opportunities that the Blues had had.
Chelsea were not helped by a hostile atmosphere in Stratford, which ended in crowd trouble in the closing minutes.

It’s disappointing to see that switching even a few first team players out is enough to weaken the squad significantly. It’s a timely reminder that this squad is not yet ready to challenge on multiple fronts.

@ ibime, is there any reason they keep linking this stadium violence to the late 70s or early 80s? Was stadium /fan violence that bad then?

If I'm older than you its just by some months. You wey be Julius Aghahowai mate

donjazet, I think stadium violence was very prominent in those times and it spiraled into the Heysel disaster in 1985 in the CL finals where some people got killed

It resulted in the ban on English teams

If ibime is aghahowa's mate and you are older than him, you be senior man. Aghahowa worked as police officer before joining insurance in the 90s. Mehn, Pa ramuzaki don old finish. You must be of same age with kunle awesu, yisa sofoluwe and co. Respect Baba !!!
