The Conte Thread

[Polo7 3,496]

Cannot believe the board / owner have decided not to back the manager. Disgraceful. Looks like he will leave in the summer. I actually really like Conte. Doesnt take shit for Jose either.

If every club sticks to managers on the off chance they might be the new Fergie, football will turn into a mess pretty quickly. United finding a manager like him is the equivalent of winning the Euromillions

Wasn't Fergie nearly sacked at United though. He had a really poor start! Then once he stamped his authoirty down and his idea of how the club should move forward, they became undeniable for a long time. I know Fergie is a one off but to expect a manager to get it right straight from the off and to maintain that success is becoming harder and harder. Especially now the other clubs in England have caught up with us financially.

The thing is, is Roman actually expecting manager's to get things right from the off? Jose came back won nothing and kept his job, i know it's easy to say it was Jose but also there was clear signs in that season we were heading on a good path and (in terms of progression) was probably our best for quite some time.

Doesn't really sell the appeal for others to come. Know they will as top club and all but that's the insentive.. Work with what you got and if cant make it work tough shit you get the sack...

"He's a great player and he knows very well that in my first season in Juventus we tried to buy him from Udinese and then he decided to go to Udinese," said Conte.

 

"I have great admiration for great players, I think Alexis Sanchez is one of these players. "If Manchester City want Alexis Sanchez, they buy Alexis Sanchez and they don't have problem. "I think it's a good investment because we are talking about a top player and I'm hearing that the amount is around £20m. If you buy Alexis Sanchez with a normal price maybe 80 or 90 million euros."

 

Conte trying his best

Conte To Beat Record Held By Mourinho If Chelsea Defeat Ndidi's Leicester

Italian manager Antonio Conte might surpass a record he currently shares with his bitter rival Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti if Chelsea beat Wilfred Ndidi's Leicester City at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The three managers accumulated twenty five wins in their first thirty Premier League home matches.

As at match day 22, Conte had 25 wins, 4 losses and one draw in his first 30 Premier League home games.

Liverpool and Crystal Palace recorded wins at Stamford Bridge in Conte's first season in England, and he started this season with a defeat to Burnley before losing to Manchester City.

Mourinho and Ancelotti failed to win their 31st home match, drawing 1-1 and losing 1-0 against Charlton Athletic and Liverpool respectively.

What Conte is doing with the sack of shit some of you refer to as "our best XI", is nothing short of miraculous. We won the league thanks to his revolutionary decision to do something that (in my opinion) had not been done consistently successfully in England before by switching to the back three. Let me just state that again - we won the league with a right-back, Gary Cahill, and David fucking Luiz as our three CBs. Miracle worker. He'll go to another huge club and piss the league there, too. 

[manpe 10,861]

We need some answers. Why did the fraud Bakayoko survive 90 mins while our game-changer Hazard didn't? Not acceptable, this is on Conte.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Even I have to admit that he's being ignorant with his team selection and tactics.

 

[Milan 17,853]

Mourinho must be laughing right now. We enjoyed a day in front of them, the war of words started and we are going down in the table.

[FabHazard 655]

Looks like he will leave in the summer...If the perfomance continues like this i wouldn't be surprised if he is sacked ...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We'll be 4th by tomorrow, most likely out of both cups within a couple of weeks, too. Shocking.

Then out everything after Barcelona.. That's gana be hard hard work watching..

Starting to fear for him that the players may pull another "we're not liking these tactics so we'll down tools." Persisting with what hasn't been working is costing us big time and the two main threats behind us in the table have been steadily growing in confidence and reeling us in.

Hope anyone who does pull that fucks off in the summer... Liverpool could be way ahead of and should be if didn't have their dodgy defending. They have Salah to score for fun and we have no one it seems

I don't get it! Last season things went dodgy so he changed things and it paid off! Why carry on this time with what is costing us points. This feels like such a long season already 

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Wins the league, gets overconfident and has a disaster-class window followed by a shocking season. How dumb do you have to be to make the exact mistake twice?
