Manager Antonio Conte

Because of the context of Levy saying it.

It’s all about tempering expectations because he knows he doesn’t have the ability to win.

He hired a coach like Conte that came in talking about winning non stop. Everything was about creating a culture of winning. The only thing that mattered was winning.

Once Conte realized that only one man sets the culture of the club and that isn’t winning, Conte started playing down expectations in press conferences and slowly lost all his fire on the sidelines.

Fair enough. Appreciate the reply.
 
I don't think a downbeat Conte is all on Levy. His friend died, his family are living back home in a different country and he's had health issues. Doesn't matter how much money you have, all those things can make someone lose a bit of their fire.

It's definitely part of it for sure. And completely understandable.

Either way, would be great to get a full fire Conte for the rest of the season.
 
we had a defensive problem, conceding too many goals.
ATM we fixed it playing emerson royal and davies as wingbacks.
problems will be to introduce porro and perisic in this system without losing balance
 
keep son on the bench and we have a chance to win every single game. 100% with him starting on the bench i believe and not only that the performances look much better from the off as there is more fight in the team.

just imagine what could of been if he was dropped 4 games in like he should of been? could of been in front of the scum

I'd like to think they both start against Sheff U on Wednesday.....

Keep the CBs as they were to help continuity and go with:

Big Man
Rom / Dier / Lenglet
Porro / Sarr / Skipp / Perisic
Danjuma / Son / Richy​
 
I get his daughter can't come back because she's at uni in Italy but maybe his wife could come for just a couple months.

We need the fire conte when he returns , not Debbie downer

How about Conte managing from home with Stellini as his on site middle manager?

Always wondered why managers don't watch from the stands with a better view and have a headpiece to communicate with the touchline.

Happens in rugby. Shouting at players that can't hear you on the touchline is massively overrated.

Saying that Conte when he's in full aggro mode is a presence on the touchline.
