Manager Antonio Conte

[JDM]

He got it right today, which likely was always going to happen. He’s a world class manager, sometimes he messes up (Sporting) but he usually corrects it quickly. We are lucky to have him.

 

[kingdawson]

every time he plays 3 in the middle we dominate the game and create chances galore.

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

Yep, more 352 please. Could move Kulu to RWB for that extra bit of creativity.

 

[Raf]

Finally got a good plan B

 

[Samisspurs]

with 3-4-3 If a midfielder is having a mare (like PEH today) we technically don't have a midfield.

I get why he plays 3 attackers, we have world class players but if you cannot control the game you cannot use them properly.

We now have a really good midfield of Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Bissouma, Skipp and Sarr. Bissouma is IMO one of the best ballers in the whole league and if we can use him more we will win more it’s as simple as that.

 

[JDM]

Gaston and Moron in hiding for a few weeks after today I reckon. We all like to have a moan on occasions lads, but let’s enjoy it when it’s good as well. Sporting was an absolute shite game, but pumping Leicester for 6 goals was pretty fucking awesome.

I get the Impression he uses the first half to sus out the opposition and then changes tactics to suit at half time

 

[Imperator]

He liked to experiment every start of a season with Inter as well but he ultimately decided to stick with 3-5-2 which is his forte, I assume the same will happen here soon.

 

[Radical Rei]

2nd most goals in the league so far.

Did he have a creative CM, or an alrounder/more defensive player in the middle?

 

[stevee]

2nd in the table
2nd most goals scored as it stands. (I know other teams have a game in hand)
Unbeaten so far.

But Conte's football is boring and too defensive.

A deep lying playmaker in Brozovic and 2 more box to box types in front who could both play. I think the standout was Barella which is why he probably wants to buy him again.

Brozovic distributed the ball from the back upfront but had also defensive responsibilities. I'd say he was an alrounder and ran a lot every game.

He tried Eriksen there (and also as the 1 behind Lautaro/Lukaku in a 3-4-1-2) as well but didn't work out so he decided to put him on the LCM position with Barella on the right of Brozovic which gave the midfield the best balance which in the end won him the title.

Ironically he was moaning at the Inter board for buying him in the first place

 

[meaningless-friendly]

I think Bissouma is more than good enough to play the Brozovic role. Be great when he really settles in and starts running the midfield. It's coming along.

Bissouma is going to be a big , big player for us . It was only a matter of time for him to settle in . He can make a big difference to our play

New set pieces coach is the man tbh.

Found this about him.

Gianni Vio: A Career in Set-Pieces (Part 1)

Gianni Vio is someone I’ve held a long interest in – after all he shares my mentality on set-pieces and if you’ve read my other set-piece articles, you’ll know his career is someone’s I’m hoping to emulate in the very near future, so I wanted a glimpse into his mind, to help further my knowledge […]

Great tactical switch up today.

I would love to see us play 3-5-2 more often, last season two of our best performances of the season were with that formation. Get Bissouma rocking and it could work a treat. Some really good options available.
