I hope this is a wake up call to Conte. This type of football is shit. He asked to be backed in the transfer window and on the whole he was. What's the point of signing all those players and then never play most of them.

Spence would be so much better than that fucking accident waiting to happen Emerson Royal. We can all see how shit he is, why can't Conte?

Why is he playing 2 negative and average midfielders, when there's Bissouma. One of the best midfielders in the league recently?

Just a couple of questions that need answering.

An even bigger mystery is why does he persist even when they look dead on their feet, have bookings and are clearly holding back, or just having a bad game. Today it was all of that, yet just one change. freshen things up surely. Since it doesn't really matter when you're playing for a draw and it's that late. Just injects energy and that's where we lost it

Conte looked very subdued in his interview, I would prefer him to be angry.
He said the players need some rest … Naa, I would have them straight out on to the practice ground practicing passing until they look like professional players.

Was he on about rest again? We had the weekend off, Sporting didnt. We've played a grand total of 8 games in 6 weeks. Constantly whining about this just gives the players an excuse.

Sounds like excuses to me. Rest?- they’ve just had the weekend off. And if they are tired then use the squad properly

Ffs is that what he said. Sporting played at the weekend. We have a big squad but he changed just one player and in game made one fucking sub after 73 minutes. Plus it’s not as if we have been playing a very high intensity front foot style of football. Most games we sit back in our own third hoping for counter.
 
Conte is trying to change the way the players used to play, he wants quick transition from defence to attack, he wants quick passing. But these players are grown up with Poch, side way passing, back passing and slow gradual transition. Hence the miss placed passes in the final third. Whatever he is trying, obviously not working.
I just read he has said players are tired. After 8 games into a new season plus weekend off and tired? Then F'in rotate, ain't rocket science.

Poch was also about pressing but this is a different team. They clearly do what Conte tells them because they'd have been out of the team
