He will get backed, but will he get backed with the players he really wants or needs?

Crikey! You're not the most conversationally focused or forthcoming of individuals are you..... ?
OK; let's hypothetically replace Kane with Lukaku (Conte's previous ST)... We still aren't gonna press like a Klopp team in their pomp.
Why? Conte/Tactics....
Which re-begs a question I've already asked of you twice now:
Yes or no?
No, I think we should start a manager search now for someone who fits the statement that Levy promised us, with a view to taking over in the summer.
Yes or no would have been way more meaningful given the question I asked.
Cut the crap and just work with what I am actually saying.
Eureka!!!
Of the top 6 Clubs, Only Man U have had a harder start to the season bassed of the average positions of their opposition.
Utd = Ave possition of opposition 8th
Tottenham = Ave possition of opposition 11th
Woolwich = Ave position of opposition 11th
City = Ave position of opposition 13th
Chavs = Ave position of opposition 13th
Can't be arsed to do LFC's
The anomaly to Utd is that all bar one of their hardest fixtures (against the top 6) have been at home, whilst ALL of ours have been away from home. And yet here we are 3rd in the league. The ONLY team we were terrible against was Utd, where they played us off the park. I don't think we played at all well vs the scum but they did score from a shot outside the box and another that took a heavy deflection and going down to 10 men really didn't help from there on out. West Ham equalized from a goal that shouldn't have stood. In every game, we've played this season the result reflects the performance except the game vs Newcastle yesterday where we were the better side.
It's absolutely fine to complain about our style of football, I'm not a huge fan of it myself and the version of it this season isn't better than how we played last season. I think this is all open for fair debate and criticism if we want to but the point of my post is let's not go down the route of untruths to win an argument.
Have to say thats pretty much where i'm at although a bit early to start a search imo. Could easily have Naglesmann or others available come summer. If things improve for the better over the next 7 months we've also got that 1 year option if we want Conte to stay. Given him a big contract now serves no real purpose. It wont even bring stability because of the way Conte is.
I don't want Lukaku either.
There's plenty of younger talent about. it's why we have scouts and a DOF
We were never winning the league this year, so I'm not disappointed we're losing ground on the top.
But I am fucking furious that we're losing ground on the goons.
*deep breath*
Putting that to one side, I think if we finish top 4 we're set up well for phase 2 of the Marvellous Contematic Universe.
3 Iron Man (Harry's Golfing Tips)
Captain Amourica: The Wilting Soldier
Bentancur: The Odd Worldie
Antonio-Man
Guardian of the Galaxies (A docu-soap about Ndombele)
Scavengers: Age of Emerson
Coming soon:
Dr Tottenham and the Multi-Sub of Madness

Yeah...not really. Just so we can get more goals in a different way.
Congrats.... You completely missed the point.
We are not a high-press team cos Conte isn't a high press-manager.
You wanted him, but now you've changed your mind.
I think we're done here.
Let's say we give Conte a new 5 year contract and he accepts.
How do you think we will be playing in 5 years time? What I mean is, what's Conte's vision for the style of play?
During the 2027 season will we still be hopelessly passing the ball backwards, passing it about in front of our own goal and still relying on Kane or Son to score goals from scraps, whilst jogging towards a half arsed press?
When is the attacking free flowing football going to start?
Yes we're a low block team, and that isn't what Levy promised when he sacked Jose.
Conte said it will take 3 or 4 windows for a title challenge, you'd think by then we'd have the players who are capable of playing at a high level enough to sustain a title challenge.
Think it's one of those ones where you just gotta trust the manager and chill.
Send Levy an email.
Mate, this woukd not be a discussion had we beaten Newcastle yesterday.
Our fans are understandably desperate for success and saw yesterday as an opportunity to make-up some points.
I get the frustrations and the context
The issue is now that Newcastle have a sniff they could get much stronger and very quickly and if that happens there have to be casualties.
And they will be us, Arsen_al or Liverpool., in my opinion..
United are odd, Chelsea always find a way and City are just too good to not be in The top 4.

We should start a manager search now. Either Conte will leave in his own or Levy will not extend his contract.
Levy is cheap but he also wants to be entertaining. He’s not going to listen to fans booing and calling us boring for another six months.
Conte is a broken record at this point. “We must suffer” “We need 2-3 transfer windows" etc
