It’s okay, some of us aren’t already turning on the manager like spoiled children, let it all out.

My own opinion is that he’s thus far impressed when played under Conte. Since he seems to rate him and starts him when he can, I’ll go with his assessment over the likes of you. He sees him in training as well after all.

I know you think having 500 shit, edgy takes on different topics makes your views interesting, but it doesn’t.
Who’s turned on the manager?
Nope, just I’m just not tragic enough to believe that every single thing someone I “like” says, is true or I have to agree.

I don’t afford that sheep mentality to my friends and family so why the fuck would I indoctrinate myself to a football manager

Do you believe Dier can become one of the best players in the world?
Please say yes……because what would it mean to disagree with Conte eh, ooooooooh scary!!!

Edgy opinions? That Winks is shit?
Jesus fucking Christ on a bike mate, you’ve lost your mind

Winks is starting under Conte. He's not just saying nice things about him, he's pretty much said he doesn't want him sold, is starting him in key games, and is praising him more than anyone else. All of these are indicators that he values him as a player. His assessment is one I have faith in, and it is backed by good performances on the pitch lately.

This doesn't mean you have to believe everything Conte says. But there's so much evidence to suggest he thinks the player is worthwhile. No I don't think Dier can become one of the best, but I believe Conte values him too, so is bigging him up. He's a player I expect the manager will want to keep in the team.

The edgy part is that you're seemingly incapable of just accepting people think he's playing well, or that Conte may value him as a player in the squad. He has to be totally useless and Conte is just lying/not getting money.
 
So you think Conte is a liar and you’ve turned on him.

Goodnight

We both know the difference between accepting that managers exaggerate praise and straight up thinking he's just lying about Winks and starting him for a laugh.

But then Conte is 'just another manager shackled to a fat slug' according to you isn't he? So I wouldn't expect him to know what he's doing..
 
I wouldn’t be so confident in this- we’ve had relatively easy opposition mostly at home.


Yeah we could go for the Liverpool route and have creativity from WBs/FBs.
But then we need to buy a high quality RWB.
Not sure there are many "easy" opponents in the Prem.

We've played Liverpool, Everton away, West Ham all the while trying to adapt to a new manager.

For sure we could have had a harder run but I still think the huge uptick in xG is meaningful and we are now consistently creating chances.
