I almost hate to say this but Conte really is similar to Mourinho. They're both only interested in winning - not a bad quality to have, mind - and nothing else. When things don't go their way, they'll start moaning, kicking up a fuss and throwing toys out of their pram. Conte's disconnection - if that's the right word - in the second half of 2017/18 is an example. Didn't get the players he wanted in January, we weren't challenging for the title or CL and he just completely checked out. Conte, similar to or just like Mourinho, is great at getting the team as a whole motivated and managing them but is not good or not bothered at man managing the players on a personal level when required. Thankfully, Lampard is the opposite of those two when it comes to man management of the players. Maybe he has the benefit of having just retired not too long ago and played in the modern football period but he has shown the capacity to empathize with players, relate with them in a difficult situation and help them with it. I believe he is hard/strict when he needs to but also fair and open to communication when a player has a problem.

Just curious, what's the reason(s) why you do not want to see JT as our manager?

Then he's not very smart if that's the case.

Feel like that stupid Barkley penalty miss might well cost us in the end...

The problem with Kepa is that he's capable of making great saves but at the same time, he also leaves one wonder whether he should be doing better for the goals we concede, not all but a number of them.

But what kind of message does Conte send to his players when he says things like that (e.g. We got players from Sassuolo & Cagliari)? Imagine Lampard making similar excuses by saying we got young players, this team lack true winners etc! Inter spent a lot this past summer and brought in a lot of players, all this under FFP. Conte knew what he was getting into in the first place and it wasn't like he didn't get his players.

Might want to email that suggestion to Frank...

Not the first time he's done that this season either...

If CHO has any brain in him, he would not go to Arsenal or Everton.

He's only been in the job for like 4-5 months!

Had Zouma scored that...

Wasn't perfect but he was the most dangerous one with whatever attacks we got before that chaos happened. Created our first 2 goals with his driving runs. Mount was quiet. Willian...well, let's not get there.

I guess, unless you want to see Barkley in action!

Jorginho is suspended.

Factually, that's wrong. Vardy is the top scorer with 10 goals. Abraham has 9.
