Hello,
I am a Juventus italian fan and maybe I can help you to understand which kind of coach Conte is...(sorry for my english, I hope you will understand)
When he arrived in Juventus, he found a tragic situation...the previous season the team, with Del Neri, arrived at the 7th place and all the fans were demoralised.
However, the 2011 summer was spectacular: we bought Pirlo, Vidal, Vucinic and Lichtsteiner and we inaugurated the new stadium.
When he arrived, he said that the best tactic for him was the 4-2-4, the most difficult to teach and to do, he said. So, the first official match against Parma we played so:
Buffon;  Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Chiellini, De Ceglie;   Marchisio, Pirlo;   Pepe, Del Piero, Matri, Giaccherini
It was probably the best match I ever seen of Conte's team (ok, the opponents weren't extraordinary) and I think that that match can help you to understand some important things: the key role of the wings, the importance of the movements without the ball (see the Marchisio's goal) and the importance of the defense.
We played in such way also the next games, then he understood that he had a fabulous midfielder: Arturo Vidal. So he changed the tactic and we played with the 4-3-3, with Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal;  Pepe, Matri, Vucinic. You can see this tactic in the match against Milan at Juventus Stadium (2-0, Marchisio, Marchisio), with some differences (not Matri, but Vucinic as center-forward and Krasic as winger). Another great game. It was a 4-3-3, but when we hadn't the ball, it turned into 4-5-1, because for Conte it is very important the sacrifice of the wingers when the team hasn't the ball.
Then, there was the match that changed everything: Napoli-Juventus (3-3), the first time that Juve played with the 3-5-2 (that was because also Napoli played so) and with the defence with Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini. That was not a great match, but was the beginning of the current Juventus.
We played so the rest of the season and we win the title. 
This was the 2011-2012 season, maybe the best title in Juventus' history (because we didn't expect it). 
I tried to explain you the principles of Conte's style, but the most important is: never give up.
I hope that you will understand what I write, this evening I will tell you the season 2012-2013.
Every correction in my english is welcomed

Do United have any female medical staff

"When you join a rival, the love story is over." - José Mourinho, 2014

Anyone else thinking after the shocking start to the season Mou didn't have the stomach to turn things around or desire to try new things and secretly wanted to be pushed.
I know the owners wife supported Eva and wondered if that support had a bearing on the decision to get rid of him. 
Preditions for him lasting at United , I'm down for 4 seasons as I think it's the job he really wants and will bend over to keep it. 

Best player at the club for three seasons running.
Has one awful season.
'I don't care if he leaves'.

This is a classic example of the modern football fan, typical of those that follow an over-rich, successful, spoiled club.

- I still love Juan
- Great to see the fans give him a standing ovation
- Once again, he embraced every player after the match - http://metro.co.uk/2016/02/07/manchester-uniteds-juan-mata-embraces-every-chelsea-player-after-match-5667956/

Maybe the new manager doesn't want him ( who ever he is ) . 
Not really sure why Ivan got an extension but not John. Got to more going on in the background than we know about.

The man cannot be criticized under any circumstances. He did everything for this club, he was an inch away from losing his life while wearing a Chelsea jersey, so no one can judge him. No matter for how long he stays at the Gunners, he will always be remembered as a Chelsea man. Big Pete is a Chelsea legend and he deserves respect. Well done, Pete!
P.S.: I am still not sure that giving up on him and making Courtois our #1 was the best choice. I mean, it's not that impossible to find a decent goalkeeper. We would've found someone else if Courtois wanted to go. And Pete was not only a great keeper, but also a club legend and a leader. But that's what it is, it's too late to regret it. 

Would love to see the little genius back in blue.

Any chance Eva coming back ?

I want a threesome with Jennifer Lawrence and Alison Brie.Neither are happening, unfortunately.

He played well tonight . Shame it it didn't work out for whatever reason. Simeone must be happy he's back at A Madrid

Just a reminder that Iva has been a great servant to Chelsea and scored many important goals for the club. Who could forget that lovely floating header to win the Europe league recently I know hes not been performing great but hes not the manager and hopefully does not pick the team.

Why the 'Rodriguez' in the thread title?, the football world knows this man as 'Pedro', if anything.. Rodriguez confuses it, considering. This reminds me of when we had Oscar's full name in his player thread title

Spends far too much time acting the victim, picking fights and generally not playing wisely.

I wonder what he's feeling as we close in on another trophy. Sad he is not around to savour these Moments.
Could he ever come back in a couple of years and do a final act like Drogba.

To me it was a yellow card offence at best and the referee failed in his basic duties to ensure fairness and protect the players.

Preston counting their chickens far too early with that celebration.
United getting stronger and the ultimate dive force young coming on.

Typical result , should have lost that one but got
to hand it to MUFC for the persistence to get the equaliser.
De Gea saves them from a thrashing again.

Judas.
