I can't believe there are people laying into him for losing us 2 points.
Before him we'd have been lucky to have 2 fucking shots.

We drew because we were cheated. TWICE.

That's a pretty clueless and knee-jerk post. For all we know Davies', or Dier's, or Winks' strengths are exactly what Conte is looking for and his system is such that it can cover the majority of their weaknesses. Neither I, nor anyone, has got a clue what Conte will do . One thing I can tell with a fair degree of certainty is that Conte's systems require players to follow very specific instructions and Davies, for example, is the kind of player that you can rely on to do just that. You don't need every player on the team to be a world beater, but you do require them to follow your instructions to the tee. That's what makes a team greater than the sum of its parts.

So relax and enjoy the process. We'll find out soon enough who's got it to make a Conte team and who doesn't.

If Davies , Dier and Winks end up being exactly what Conte is looking for, then we are fucked. He can polish them a little to make them be slightly better than they are currently, but its not going to be good enough . Unless of course Conte is aiming to finish in the 6th to 10th places. Which seems very very unlikely, so they are probably not exactly what he is looking for.

Cost us 2 points today. Poor lineup poor subs and poor tactically. You don't need 5 at the back plus a holding midfielder vs 10 men you need creativity. Bad day at the office from him.

He had a poor game today. Wrong choices made in that second half which didn't give us the best chance of creating a goal

That may be the case. But no manager is above criticism and scrutiny, and he warrants both for me today.

Havent seen anyone laying into Conte at all. Maybe pointed out that there were some strange decisions which didnt help the cause but thats about it.

FWIW, Inter are presently top of Serie A, 4 pts above 2nd place Milan.

With only 1 loss in 19 Serie A matches, Inter's GD is +34.... next closest is Napoli's +21.

Despite losing Lukaku this summer, their forwards are: Lautaro Martinez (£72m), Correa (£27m) and Edin Dzeko (8 goals in 18 Serie A matches this season). They even have Alexis Sanchez in the squad.

Inter's midfield is Barella (£63m), Brokovic (£36m) , Calhanoglu (£31m) , Vecino & Vidal.

Inter has 2 CBs (Skriniar + Bastoni) valued over £50m, their other CB (de Vrij) is +£40m.
