He probably wanted Hazard's energy to turn this around and it worked perfectly. Probably thought Spurs strategy would be to cut out Hazard the way United did. I partly agree with the freshness impact off the bench. I personally feel he prioriotized Tuesday ahead of today. I'm not sure leaving your best player on the bench is the best strategical move under any circumstance, but it worked for us today. bluephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Spurs face Crystal Palace on Wednesday after Palace play tomorrow away to Liverpool. We play Southampton on Tuesday who will not have played since the 15th of April. Conte isn't really happy about it and rightly so. It doesn't make any sense. Anyway, 3 days recovery against a good Southampton side won't be easy at all, even at home. Hopefully, the likes of Eden, Cesc, Costa and Cahill are fresh for this game. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Dropping Costa and Hazard was as ballsy as it comes, I questioned it and so did many others, it paid off and he needs a huge pat on the back for that. 11Drogba, Eidur the Spider and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I admit - I thought he'd lost it when I saw the line-up. How wrong was I? Superb tactical approach today. Michy and Willian were superb. Ake also repaid his manager's faith in him. What a bloke. Why did I even doubt him for one minute? Ballsy as fuck. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnald 256 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 English media said that Conte told them that winning the Premier League with Chelsea would be a bigger achievement than turning the 7-placed Juventus back into a top team: Translation (kinda): Conte enraged: "I have never said anything like this."

Antonio starts almost every answer with "Yes, [but]", so that can be just misunderstanding, not deliberate twisting of words from English media.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I find his comments very unnecessary sometimes. He talked about city and money, when we spend alot ourselves. Sure city spent more and should be higher on table, but the money doesnt guarantee success. We spend lot of money too. Secondly, those comments about underdogs, specificaly to Poch pre Spurs game. He said Poch need to drop that underdog excuse for his team. Then again, Conte said we are the underdogs many times. We are certainly not underdogs. We have some of best players in league, we are top of table and we win most of games. We cant be the underdogs, not in england atm. Some comments he makes are realy pointless.

When you face the media sometimes two times a week, you are bound to make some mistakes, Conte made very few with them this season and definitely brought a breath of fresh air in that section that Mou literally raped with nasty comments and voyeurism, just like he is doing now. Maybe Conte should take some tips from politicians and the way they speak, maybe he'll master the art of actually saying nothing while still speaking to the press.

Popular Post! Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Popular Post! Share Posted April 28, 2017 Absolute class act going into the dressing room after the Youth Cup win. I adore this guy, I adore him because he is humble and a real peoples person. To do what he has done and clean up Mourinho's mess of last season is just spectacular in itself. He's made players like Moses and Alonso into very very good players and adapted them into the system and culture with absolute ease. Give this guy what he wants in the summer, back him and watch us go. bigbluewillie, 11Drogba, xPetrCechx and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
