I did, you're just too arrogant to believe that someone thinks your analysis was poor

I think Conte did seem to improve facets of our defending, but possibly more importantly, he seemed to improve facets of our attacking much more, which had become utterly devoid under Mourinho and Nuno. So whilst we have been still making mistakes, individual and collective, we had started being able to compensate for them by incrementally improving on them a little, but massively improving on our attacking output. Conte got us back to where we were in later stage Poch, outscoring our shitness.
Even the game against Southampton we actually bettered their XG, despite them having so many shots.
I bet you had an A in English at school. Great. Everything goes about getting what you deserve. If you don't have the money to buy it. You have to find a way to control it. In this instance, the head of the institution, Aka Levy, only knows money. You want change, hit him where it hurts. But expecting you to understand your own power is like trying to teach a lamp post some of that high English you used.
Stop being a victim. Grow a pair. Or do you like being fed crap on a spoon while paying for Caviar.
I think it's really time to worry if we are depending on Dier to be the solution. As you say, he's the chief dropper offer, and he tends to drag others back with him. And Romero seems to be doing this when we are defending crosses or balls into the box.
I think his 1 v1 defending when he's up some attacking from behind is ok, but I'm less convinced about his reading and dexterity when he's face on 1 v1 with attackers. I haven't seen this loads, so I could be wrong, but a couple of times I have seen it, he's looked less than convincing.
Just out of interest, what is it you think Dier does that Romero can't?
No. He was very much actually sacked.
We didn't pay him severance pay in the name of charity or good will.
No he didn't...... He made some weirdo comments that if we won he'd call it a day.
Yet when we didn't win the CL; he didn't stand down or leave.
........He went shopping with the clubs money instead.
We spent 120m on 3 players that he'd picked (+ 10m for Clarke whom he argued wasn't his pick)

I'm not the one whining about being a victim, you are.
I'm not the one bitching about the management of one of the top ten financially successful football teams on the planet, like I have a better plan on how to run one.
Take a look at every club that ditched it's stadium for a new ground in the last 30 odd years and you will see a club whose football team slumped straight afterwards for a protracted period whilst they had to pay the mortgage off. Sunderland, Coventry Stoke all got it wrong and look at them now. The goons nosedived but kept winning just enough, but nowhere like before. It's like you buying a bigger house and having to drive Korean and Japanese cars instead of German ones.
Well you didn't did you, you just disagreed with it without even attempting to back it up with an explanation or explain why you disagreed with it, I mean I'm sure you learnt this in school but that's not making a point at all and looking at the rest of your posts in here just now it looks like someone is craving attention, feeling a bit lonely are we Mick? It is V Day afterall so I'll humour you if that's how you get your kicks. x
Alas the truth is revealed. Just another Levy supporter who enjoys Vegan Pies, More watering holes and looking at the beautiful stadium more than actually watching football. We all have our preference. Mine will be streaming and wearing my 1980s jerseys until such day I get proper football from Levy and Co or the new owners.
Oh I'm sorry, hadn't realised you had a personal insight into everything that goes on in the club.
Have your own take on it, you have a million opinions, a few more won't matter.
We threw the baby out with the bathwater when we dumped Pochettino, he had already made a silk purse out of a sows ear, and it was stupid to believe that he could still get a tune out of the squad he got to that final. A major revamp was needed but he didn't get what he needed.
I'd you are still struggling to understand the magnitude of the error - look at the revolving door on managers under Levy, before and after Poch. Do you see a difference?
He was the one worth keeping - I suspect Conte is as well, but he is more volatile and will piss off when his patience runs out.

Not a lot, but he seems to be the only vocal person in defence trying to keep things organised.
Better at defending aerial long balls e.g. opposition goal kick. He's so massive, and strong that he can just tower over and outmuscle most strikers. He usually gets a good meaty header too, not like Sanchez.
He's also better at defensive set piece headers, (not as good as he should be). Again, big, strong, and gets good contact.
Dier this season has been doing a fair impression of Toby with his pings to Reguilon, Son etc. Romero can do it too, but probably not as good as Dier.
Basically a budget Van Dijk.
I've read your opinions on tactics and why things happen in games. I don't see the point in discussing anything with you, as you seem to have a gap between reality and your "grasp" of things. I need your attention like I need the dose of Covid that I've got, thanks very much.
He wouldn't get an A in English if he spells civilisation with a Z.......
Just you that has that insight innit, Mr 'Poch wasn't really sacked'?
Moving the goalposts and deviating towards other things won't change the raw bones of the FACTS I just presented to you......
To recap..... Poch was SACKED.
Sorry, sorry, I feel like shit, I've got covid (from a visit to Guildford hospital!) I did see it was spell checked but forgot to go back and correct it.
I don't, I really don't.....
......You mean the same
