Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[cjbyid]

Yeah time for a new guy.

Not much will change with this group of players whoever is in charge but hey at least we'll get a purple patch for a few games when the players bother to show up.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

At least he wasn’t here to witness the nadir of his tenure.

 

[RuskyM]

Yep. The baseline performances all season have been under par and underwhelming.
Stellini/Conte, doesn’t matter.
We ain’t winning shit playing so defensively under either of them.
And we ain’t winning shit with a back line including Dier, Davies and Sanchez.

Season over after tonight.

It's ironic in a way that makes me want to swallow bleach that on one half of North London there's a team at the top with a young manager playing good football but people seriously want me to believe this retrograde shite is going to win trophies. Trophies like the cups, that we've gone out to Forest, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough under him, or like the league, where we got hammered by Leicester. Fuck this.

 

[Spunkmonkey]

No point in coming back Antonio. Your time is done.

 

[Tucker]

Abysmal performance against a makeshift championship team. The players and coaches should be ashamed.

We won’t win anything playing this turgid football.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

No point in coming back Antonio. Your time is done.

We can only hope

 

[Guntz]

Think we need to part ways in the summer for a more forward-thinking manager.

 

[H-SF]

I’ll be so depressed if he’s here next season. Insipid in possession, passive out of possession. You don’t need to dive into the tactical nuances to understand we are a poor side fundamentally at the moment. Not being able to dominate Sheffield United Bs is a joke.

 

[Yiddo100]

Counting down the days until he & this formation fuck off

123 days

 

[Sykes]

Feel sick at the thought of Conte sat at home prioritising trying to get top 4 over a realistic chance of a trophy, get him gone

 

[sidford]

I don't want him here for next season but that performance is not on him. Pathetic absolutely gutless from them and we shouldn't be surprised as they have let us down so often.

Hard to say it’s not on him, at least some of it anyway. He chose the players and the tactics.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

I hate him, I hate 5 at the back I hate this obsession with wing backs, I HATE THE 3 Centre backs and 2 midfielders that are so so easy to work out his tactics are dreadful, he’s been out coached by a championship manager ?

Bang on. This style of play is boring, too safe and doesn’t work in the PL right now.

*Although our defence also needs a serious upgrade*

 

[RuskyM]

But it's the same retrograde passive bollocks we've seen all season. It's the same gaping abyss where a central midfield should be. It's the same relying on wing backs when neither are working. Nothing changes.

 

[h2005]

Just go now.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Whether it’s on him or not, we need a complete change of philosophy and quickly. This absolutely unwatchable ‘winning’ (lol) football is getting us nowhere.

At least it’s not as bad as Jose losing to a manager in prison ?

 

[CookieYiddo]

That could be that. I wonder if the bald one will be on the blower to Poch tonight

 

[Ghost Hardware]

No excuses but I guess we just move on. Crazy though as we would have had Blackburn in the next round. What a missed chance. Seriously tho i really hate this football. It’s so draining. I will continue to support him and us for as long as he’s here but I can’t lie and say I don’t want another manager and style of football here. I just don’t like it, never have and never will.
