He hasn't had to worry about that too much that this season.
haha.. Great clip.
That is what I have said numerous times. That would the honourable thing to do. However he wants his money and ruin us in the process.Oh, of course it is not a question.
Nothing proves his undoubted love more than making up excuses why he is overplayed in table and head-to-head likes of Newcastle and Howe.
Nothing proves his commitment more than not even trying to make things better and watching stone-faced in the sidelines while with 25 minutes of 2nd half our team has 0 threatening attacks.
All the irony aside- I feel from him on the personal level. It has not been a good year for him from any way you look at it. We all are humans. But in such instance it would be honest to stand up and admit - "Look, my head is not quite right. I feel I am shaken by the events in life and I want to step back from my position to take time to recoup." Perfectly fair and honest.
But instead he does nothing and collects 7 million for nothing. And this is where my compassion ends.
yea they are doing well. just the 35 conceded lol. a back 3 makes more sense if you have a really poor bunch of midfielders, the CB's is our weakest area and we overload it, it really is fucking insane. its clearly not working the performances and goals conceded tell you that. not only is the football shit we are leaking goals for fun.Not sure that works, every member of our back line is catered to a 5
Didn’t he put sin behind Kane in last 10 mins when he bought on richo and danjama ?Conte has insutructed Son to drop between the opposition defense and midfield, and even midfield and attack, to receive the ball, with his back to goal and a defender trying to crawl up his backside. He has failed at this repeatedly almost without exception.
This alone a sackable offence for me.
Biss was a topI always felt like Richarlison was, he was involved quite quickly and he seemed enthusiastic talking about him.
Bissouma and Lenglet 100% opportunistic club signings.
Good point you never cunte bigging up players or giving encouragement. Look at kloop and how he treats his players. I bet he never once encouraged Soence or Gil. I do recall though last season where he bugged up sess which tells all you need to know about conte. Sess has been pure and simple shite but still plays yet other players never get a look in.I think the intense style of management has had its day. Players respond much better now to a more arm around the shoulder approach. As you say why we ignore what has worked for us up to a point is baffling. Jol, Redknapp, Poch much more emphasis on good football and getting on with players, they just appear more patient and tolerant as well which obviously helps with Levy. Then you have George Graham, Santini, AVB, Mourinho, Nuno and Conte. Dull football, tetchy personalities, overly intense. So add all that together and i could see Thomas Frank working well here.
What ms he been doing for 15 months. Had a 7 week break fir WC to look at all options and eventualities. The guy is a waste of space. I really do wonder what he does all week. I bet he dies t even watch games back. If he did he would have noticed dier never makes a challenge or try to stop a shot. Instead he backs i off and off!Conte:
"I haven't considered Dier as a back up CM as I haven't had time to think of other solutions......"
Surely a manager who's head is in the zone would have mentally thrashed this out almost instinctively......
"Oh shit.... Biss & Bentancur are fucked.... Who else can step in?"
No? ....That thought not occurred? .........Not one of us here haven't chewed this over and none of us are being paid £15m.
What is tactically right for conte mean? We don’t have any tactics other than everyone run behind the ball and just watch the oppo pass, shoot and cross for fun. He is so stubborn that he thinks his system is the magma carte and can’t be changed or tweaked to accommodate Biss. Exactly who PEH fir his tactical master plan? How often does he just stand and watch players run off him and then wave his arms about?Alarming for me bought bissouma for 35m last year who was outstanding. Then conte said earlier in season tactically not right for team. Why buy him then or did we base it on his performance against us before end of last season?
I reckon Biss is lucky his not adapted to Dino mk2. We might still have some semblance of a top midfiekder left fir new manager to utilise.He hasn't adapted to Conte yet. When he came, he got Covid during pre-season, and he had to catch-up all the time. Not Conte's fault, not Bissouma's fault, just very bad circumstances.
Which he dues excellently btwParatici is rebuilding the team.
Contes job is to coach the team
Look mate 5pm is 5pm, he's clocking out whether he's finished his work or not, and he'll be damned if he's going to spend his evenings contemplating Eric Dier as his midfield dynamo, that can wait until 9am!Conte:

the difference that city had by dropping ake and akanji and playing dias and laporte! just upgrading 2 defenders made a huge difference.
