Spot on.All of that would be great with Conte if he didn't set us up on the pitch to sit back and let teams bully us.
I'm not saying we should, or even could go out and pass teams off the park or swashbuckle our way around the pitch for 90 minutes.
But the timid way he sets us up week-in-week-out isn't the hallmark of an ambitious winner for me.

The tactical and technical and fitness and analytical levels of teams and athletes is so high now that the days of sitting back and counter punching to exploit the opponents mistakes or space are gone, if you do that these days you’re just asking to be beaten.
