BollocksWe have been for 99% of Contes reign.
Same players you see
Maybe in teams that can defend, his wing backs have more freedomA few times? I'll need to see some stats on it but it's looked like a fuckload to me, and 'some good some poor' is a very positive outlook since to me it's minimum 80% useless and maybe 20% somewhat dangerous, and even some of them are because of deflections.
Conte's wing backs are given LOADS of license to attack. Hakimi got 7 goals 8 assists in Serie A last season, we all remember how Marcos Alonso thrived under him as well. Conte's teams are definitely very structured and with little room for 'flair', but the total lack of threat from our wing backs is not a tactical issue, it's a personnel one.
He's bottled countless good, clear 1v1 oppos and his crosses have been poverty.Cant just blame Royal. Absolutely no creativity or movement in midfield.
Funny how most games you would have to work fucking hard to get completely free on the right hand side as a fullback/wingback, but this game we have Royal open every single attack and we still can't get any single bit of dangerous attacking play from it.
You are an odd little person , sometimes nice, sometimes strange.You okay hun?
For certain parts of certain matches but not really collectively or other than results wiseBollocks
We’ve improved and there’s no doubt about that
I wonder if there isn't a tendency by officials to avoid making what might be a decisive call. In this case they call either the foul on Kane or the one on Dier and it goes from being a tight nil-nil game in the hands of the players to probably being over. In some ways you don't want a call to take the game out of the player's hands but you can't just ignore obvious fouls either.I know I'm guilty of knocking the conspiracy theories about refs/var etc but the wrestling match with Harry in the penalty area was so clearly ignored that I'm beginning to wonder....
If you expect(ed) a 180 degrees change just lolFor certain parts of certain matches but not really collectively or other than results wise

As I’ve said, I’m more concerned with Son being turned into Dele
Asking the football gods not to punish him for being part of this.Referee made a sign of the cross as he entered the field of play just now. Looks like even God's against us.
