Maybe they’re getting fitter?Yeah definitely, more solid at the back and more aggressive all over the pitch, good patterns of play going forwards
The squad still have a hangover from the Maureen and Nuno style, they’re starting to snap out of it

He's already managed his country so we don't have to worry about that as much.This must be his last job. He has to retire with us having a record like Sir Alex. Back him to the hilt.
Sometimes it just needs that, Liverpool are good current proof of that.Promising start. Good to see some players improving but clearly better players needed to push us on further.
After 3 CL and 5 Prems, 3 FA Cups and 1 Europa and 1 Carabao, he retires in 2031 after a final year treble.This must be his last job. He has to retire with us having a record like Sir Alex. Back him to the hilt.
I think it’s pretty safe to say he won’t be winning it this season given our early season problems before he arrived, & the rebuilding that is needed through the squad.After 3 CL and 5 Prems, 3 FA Cups and 1 Europa and 1 Carabao, he retires in 2031 after a final year treble.
Seems utterly ridiculous to say such a thing, yet he's won the league in 5 of the last 7 years he's coached!!! Keep, keep, keep.
I expect Conte to improve us greatly but overhauling the big 3 will take some doing.I think it’s pretty safe to say he won’t be winning it this season given our early season problems before he arrived, & the rebuilding that is needed through the squad.
If we get the players in he wants in January, there’s no reason why we can’t challenge for top 4 (never thought I’d be saying that a few weeks ago!).
And if he has another window in summer to make some further adjustments, then there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be challenging for his 6th league in 9 seasons.
Brilliant manager and the improvements are already plain to see. Give him the right players and he will take the club places.
FA Cup and 4th will see him and most of us happy! Most!!!I think it’s pretty safe to say he won’t be winning it this season given our early season problems before he arrived, & the rebuilding that is needed through the squad.

Spot on. Think folk have chosen to forget how fuckin good that squad was …. We didn’t fall in quick enough just how good we were the year we fucked it V Leicester and we were beaten by a very good Chelsea outfitI think people misread Poch's "it's hard to upgrade" comment. And I agree with him when he made the comment. It would have been "hard" to upgrade the then Spurs squad, it would have just taken Levy to loosen the purse strings. That made everything much, much harder.
Oh our pressing in recent years has been more like an ode to a pressOur pressing looks so much better too. We really pressed Brentford well yesterday.
A few less fuckings might allow it the levity it needed for the humour air
Unfortunately this is true. The front 3 are in their own league from the chasing packI expect Conte to improve us greatly but overhauling the big 3 will take some doing.
Our star men, Kane and Son, are not getting any younger and the squad needs so much work.
We basically need to be flawless in the next two transfer windows and probably sign another 3 "Romero's". By that I mean players who are obviously class already and will improve further.In addition to decent squad upgrades in other areas.
I'd say we'd need something like 5-6 players to come in to the first team and contribute right away if we are to get close. That's a huge ask.
