Nobody really knows that, apart from probably Conte, Paratici and Levy.Pretty terrible management.
Remember it was Conte whom chose to sign Lenglet on loan he was given a list of alternatives and said no to all of them.
Bayern went out in that Semi final. I bet Dier did Dier things in the lead up to the goals (4 over 2 legs) that Real scored.We scored more and conceded less whilst playing much better football.
Dier was MOTM in a CL SF just now btw. Between him and Dier they had hundreds of games worth of experience in the prem.
Udogie, VDV, Vicario all played their first prem season, whilst Porro played his first full season whilst adapting to a new position. There is plenty of excuses there if you want to make them. I just don't.
The only pro in this system to me is that we have the ball more than we don't. We still look very vulnerable without the ball, just for different reasons. Poor VDV is going to get more injuries having to sprint back time and time again when teams trigger a quick counter.But a completely different tactical approach which leaves those defenders much more exposed.
The previous tactics had 5 defenders in line with four midfielders about 3 yards in front of them and just shuffled from side to side, all in our defensive 3rd of the pitch.
Our current tactical format has two cb’s on the halfway line, both FB’s pushed up into midfield and the rest pushed into the opponents 3rd of the pitch. When the opposition attacks it’s often on the break With only two or three players in front of them spread across the pitch.
Both systems have their defensive pros and cons and better players will always help both systems but when transitioning from one system to a completely different system with an emphasis more towards possession, progression and territory There are often inherent back door issues.
The bus park system is far more defensive orientated in its coaching.
So after all this contradictory bullshit the best response is you're a retard (classy) and you're brainless blah blah
You're better off just owning the fact that you're a massive flip flop and you generally have no idea what you're talking about as opposed to making yourself look even more stupid
Just log off for the Summer man![]()
Sorry but this is completely ignoring the context, in particular the style of football played last season and this season.
We are playing much more attacking football now, scoring more goals, and consequently giving up more / better chances to the opposition. However we've not conceded lots more goals than last year, as our defenders and keeper are much better players.
Isn't this what everyone wanted? More attacking football, more goals scored, but without conceding lots more? I'm certainly happy with that. :/
On the other hand, I think that any football professional would benefit by watching current European players and systems and this is the perfect way to do it.Don't like this.

No, my response to your very insightful and well argumented post of "you are and idiot" was that these posts are made over period of time. Over that time situation changed. And there was new info to consider.
But I see that you have no functional reading nor no concept how additional info can change perspective. So I am sorry to hurt your brain with things that are way beyond your intellectual level. Should have known better.
Your desperation and worship of a Manager who hated us is nie on delusional. Conte hated working with young players hence why he never signed any. He loved his experience hence why we bought Perisic to play at left wing back. Conte was so bad I lowered my standard that a manager has to want to be here.The only pro in this system to me is that we have the ball more than we don't. We still look very vulnerable without the ball, just for different reasons. Poor VDV is going to get more injuries having to sprint back time and time again when teams trigger a quick counter.

Yes you're an idiot because your arguments are steeped in contradictions, no-one's gonna accept the fact that you've used every excuse in the book as far as injuries are concerned to defend the manager then 4 months later you turn around and say they're merely excuses to attack the manager - just stupid contradictory shit like that just exposes you and you've proved you're an emotional little toerag with your response.
Don't bother responding cause all you're gonna do is waste yours and my time with more silly mental gymnastics, pointless debating with peasants like yourself.
What list of alternatives?Pretty terrible management.
Remember it was Conte whom chose to sign Lenglet on loan he was given a list of alternatives and said no to all of them.
The media hounded him out of the country a few years ago. Now they’re sucking up to him big time. Australians hate a tall poppy unless they’ve been successful internationally. Then they turn into sycophants.He’s a top bloke our manager.
Nice to see him relaxed while being interviewed back at “home” in Australia.
Clear they have a lot of love and respect for him over there. Great to see.
Roll on 24/25.
but it’s Brentford commentsThomas Frank is working for BBC
So there’s another current manager doing a bit of punditry
I’ll wait for the “but it’s Brentford comments”
Sorry, that was a slip of the finger / brain - I meant to say that we played in a way whereby we would normally expect to score more goals - the point was about the style of football, not the actual number of goals that we scored. We were often awful up front this season, but you'd be hard-pushed to find any fan that doesn't agree that we played a lot more attacking football this season, and hence were more open at the back, that was my point (and my error does nothing to change or invalidate that point). Now I've restated it, do you agree?*reads this post*
*goes back to check facts*
Last season we scored 70
This season we scored 74
Yeaaaaa... suuuureeee... we scored so much more this season. Whopping 4 goals more. This like... 0,1 goal more than last season. What a stark difference indeed.
But hey, don't let facts get in way of an awesome story and agenda, right!
And we didn’t do that this season?When you clearly have the better squad but still routinely drop stinkers against sides your much better then. Think AVB post Bale when he didn't have him bailing him out.
End of tricky first season with lots to resolve.Is it impossible to prepare whilst being a pundit for 2 hours or something?

Just get your head down, innit.
Best look imo.
