We score more goals
If Kulu was our best player, not sure he was, it wasn't like he was great just the best of a bad bunch.
When we have zero goals threats on the team outside of Kane or Son tough to take one of them off when we had shown zero ability to create a goal and would need a bit of magic to get one.
Pochettino was a master tactician right enough
Poch>>>Jose>Mason>>>Nuno>Conte
What would plan B?
Nobody would have a plan B when the bench is Moura, Bergwijn, Winks, etc. It is a squad issue laughable that morons are blaming Conte and think some other manager gets anything out of these dogshit players.
We say this about EVERY manager we hire, at what point do people like yourself understand that it doesn't matter WHO you get as manager when the players are dogshit.
The issue is our transfer policy has been shit for years and we need to listen to Conte and trust him to build a winning squad.
Yes I agree we have shit players but good managers make good tactical changes time to time to overcome those limits
A reminder Klopp finished 8th in his first season with the dippers.
He’s having to rely on 3-4 genuine Championship players in the first team. These results are par for the course with this squad.
Back him for the next two summer windows, then we will see if he’s as good as we all hope.

Under Nuno we were fine up until we hit a patch of games against decent/good teams - Chelsea, Woolwich, West Ham, United. He barely had time to blink before he was sacked.
Under Jose, yeah he had issues, particularly parking the bus far too early and getting on players' bad side for being an ego maniac. But remember, the big issue for us were injuries. He had us in 1st place in December. We hit a string of bad injuries and seriously lacked squad depth.
Under Conte, after the initial new manager bounce, we've been losing to some shit teams and have been lucky to scrap by on several occasions. I'm not seeing real improvement in any sort of way, Kane's been on and off, Son's gone to shit, our defense still looks leaky/shaky, our wingbacks are shit, our mid is non existent. So what are we doing right under Conte?
Ukraine would be the safer bet

I'm really not seeing what he's contributing to the team.
Are we really better that the lows of Mourinho?
Mourinho was shit but our counter attacks were godlike for a time.
What about Conte stands out?

Conte has shown he makes those moves. Won titles at all 3 of his last jobs, 5 titles in 7 seasons and this is not 10-15 years ago like Jose this is last season.
So either Conte has forgot how to manage or a team with players that nobody rates is the problem. I would say it is pretty clear what is more likely but you go ahead and blame the elite managers and back the shit players.
Yes we are much better than the Jose days.
Mourinho was also the one that really unlocked the Kane as a #9/#10 hybrid and unleashed the Kane/Son duo. He should be fully credited with that.
Conte's riding on the back of Mou's work there but hasn't implemented anything noteworthy since he's joined. Wingbacks?
But to be fair when we have the ball, we have exactly zero creative players other than Kane to create chances and killer passes. Harry Kane is our most creative player and he can't do it all on his own when all three of our other outlets in Reguilon, Son, and Doherty all completely shit the bed.
Kulu was okay tonight and created our first goal but you also need Son, Doherty, and Reguilon to step up when we have possession and they just couldn't. I think we really need to look at our wingbacks this summer.
People will flip out and try to spin this as me shitting on him but it was a cross likely going nowhere that he got lucky to be called a handball. I guess technically it was his pass that led to the penalty but not really showing that he can create anything.
