For all of Sarri's flaws and Lampard's erraticness, they are infinity times more preferable than Conte's 17/18 persona.

I see Conte here as two manager's, 16/17 Conte was as good as Jose 1.0, 17/18 Conte was as bad as Scolari.

The second half of that 17/18 season was not good, beforer december we were still good enough kind of. His 16/17 as you said was a master class by a proper manager.

One win in the last 8 games for Conte. 

[Fernando 6,387]

Another failure in CL

[lucio 5,418]

Absolutely disgraceful,  what is he thinking playing absolute dogshit players like Ashley young in a game like this. Deserves sacking 

[NikkiCFC 7,634]

He changed two defenders in the minute 85th and replaced striker for midfielder

Conte's Champions League record:

P: 34
W: 12
D: 11
L: 11

3 group stage exits in 5 Champions League campaigns...

Goodbye Antonio

[NikkiCFC 7,634]

Wing backs are all in his system, so outdated.

Got the feeling we got their career best out of our 3 title winning managers conte, maureen and carlo.

BIG pressure on Conte now to win Serie A this season...

He's really bad at adapting game plan to the opponent, and truly awful at making subs adjusting things during the match.

Also his "winning mentality" is too obsessive and it's apparent that he makes his lads nervous, not confident, in every big match.

Specifically at Inter... we play a muscular 532 with scarce ball-playing qualities and simplistic off-the-ball movements, we don't have players that can dribble in tight space, we just hoof the ball up lacking precision and coesive build-up. We end up banging on the defensive wall against lesser teams that defend deep, while good teams easily outsmart and outpress us.

From an Inter fan. Tell me you don't get Chelsea 17/18 vibes while reading that? So similar it's scary.

Conte is such a toxic manager with a terrible CL record. Glad to have lost him. Feel sorry for the amazing Internazionale club and fans.

Wait, I thought Inter play beautiful passing football!? Someone here was going gaga over the way they do that because of the highlights!

Inter were really hopeless yesterday. They just kept dumping cross after cross after cross into the box, rarely finding the target, and kept taking pot shots from distance. The one rare time someone got a clean header from a cross, Lukaku cleared it for Shakhtar! No composure, no quality, no ingenuity to break Shakhtar down and it's the same side that Inter thrashed 5-0 only back in August. And after the game, Conte actually complained about these sides always change their style and sit back to defend against his sides.  

What frustrated me back then was that Conte never deviated from his back 3 system and it's still the same case now. He sticks with it all the time, even when he needs to chase the game, even when the opposing team only play with 1 striker. At their best, Conte's teams can be fun to watch - as we saw in 2016/17 - but if they aren't, then his sides can be too functional and predictable and look clueless. Also doesn't help that Conte himself has a weird obsession with getting hard working but very average players.

Lukaku bottled it. Inter should have won 1:0,but Lukaku blocked a shot from Sanchez, which would have gone in. Lukaku's offside awareness is horrible. He will never reach world class level becaise of his many flaws on his game

 

Also, in minute 88,he bottled again and prevented another goal with his big head.

Yeah but problem is, Conte signed him and keeps picking him.

Despite the fact he repeatedly bottles it when it matters most he was still kept out there while Lautaro (a striker that actually is potentially world class if not already there) got hauled off.

Hardly a surprise considering Conte has built Inter around Lukaku.
