That sounds like as if she is talking about the ex of her new boyfriend.

Only a fool would believe that Antonio is an insecure guy like that.

LOL. Who was Allegri when he was at AC Milan??? He was shit at Milan. Only in 2010-11 season he won the Serie A but after that season he became woefull there.

He has and already had world class players when he reached the UCL final with Juve. Not a real fair comparison if you ask me. 

 

 

As for Conte, Wenger showed again yesterday why he isn't a top manager anymore. Cannot motivate his players to get to the top of the table. Let's hope Conte proves otherwise. Not underestimate Sunderland and spank them and Moyes.

Although i am not for a second suggesting Allegri is better than Conte, he has done very well to keep Juve's momentum going at the top. I never get why people say that taking over a dominant/treble/all conquering team is easy, it's arguably the hardest job in football. How can you motivate players that are already at the top? How can you convince them to not only go again but to buy into new ideas?

The best jobs for managers is one's were the team's are flirting with success but haven't yet made that final step, assuming they don't win the league this season Arsenal would be a great proposition for someone if Wenger doesn't extent his contract.

Allegri has great tactical acumen, he studies specific expedients and sharply intervenes on the flow of games. He is the coach you see the hand more on sundays than weekdays. I'm sure he can do very well with sound successful teams as he is well-fitted for elimination tournaments and not really for leagues. At Chelsea he couldn't have done an ounce of what Conte's doing. 

Conte is not a leader, he is a fucking conqueror king who builds his armada and pushes to the boundaries without ever looking back. Exhaustion is the worst enemy, at first physically - march was a ponderous time and i see he is still using the very same regulars - then, slowly, a mental burnout. Chelsea directors must be good in bringing in the right players to improve technique and make a renewal of tired or relaxed ones: Conte doesn't look good at all on market. Sooner or later Conte will burn his immense energy too and i wouldn't be surprised if he'll take a sabbatical year to restore before next campaign.

I just had a magnificent idea for Juve and Chelsea to swap between Conte and Allegri every some years! Go go Conte!

None of our managers since around 2008 or so have been astute at rotating players. We're already seeing our players tiring, and too many of our coaches have said 'We don't need the full quota of players, 20 is enough', as an example. It's a naive approach to believe 11 players wins a league. It takes a lot more than just those players. Unfortunately that's the only thing giving me doubt about winning the title this season. 

[Cosmin 2,484]

ANTONIOOOOO, ANTONIOOOO!

10 consecutive wins! 

Last time we had so many consecutive wins, it was under another Italian (). And we won the title that season.

Master!

[BoyBlue96 990]

He still needs a shitload of good players for his preferred system.

Conte is the quickest Chelsea manager to ever reach 40 points. He's currently out-performing Mourinho's legendary 2004/05 season which is insane, considering how much more competitive the PL is and how many other teams can now fight for the title. Still a LONG way to go though. 

His current league record since he took over at Juventus stands at 130 games, 97 wins, 25 draws and 9 defeats.

It was under Mourinho. Chelsea had never won 10 in a row under Ancelotti.

Actually, this actually the 2ND fastest ever start we've made to reach or exceed 40 points. Conte is the quickest to do it since it's his first season here.

The all time record is 2005/2006 with 43.

Conte lauds Fabregas' 'great commitment'. "I have four midfielders and I have to try and make the best choice before every game.

Kante, Fabregas, Matic and Chalobah.

Weird because we definitely need one more but I don't want to see Chalobah drop down the pecking order.

Four midfielders? So he's implying that he doesn't count on Mikel and Oscar.
