No shoe has fitted for 20 years!More thoughts in answer to some of the more extreme statements. (in my view)
-Conte is still a top top coach. World class and he will go on and win plenty.
-Our playing squad has had too much upheaval to say it's just the same as under Poch.
-We need top class defensive reinforcements but they could and should be doing far better. That's on them AND the coaching staff.
-its possible to hold more than one thing accountable at the same time. By saying Conte is at fault you aren't beytraying the anti Daniel Levy case because the latter has loads to answer for and is the root of our issues.
-Our players in my view aren't unique in their behaviour. They're spoilt millionaires playing football for a living and they will all respond differently to man management styles. It's upto the coach and his team to manage that and get the best out of each one. Otherwise you could probably design a computer program to map out tactics.
- We are one managerial appointment away from either continuing this mess or maybe getting lucky and finding a guy who can fit the right communication with the right tactics and showing us a little bit of hope.
And finally ....
-Sometimes people and situations don't mesh well together. Conte who has alway been an overly emotional and a league emphasis based manager, was always going to struggle because we won't spend the money to go for the league and finishing fourth whilst our chairman is happy with it , Conte isn't and neither are we. This of course causes him to lose his shit and we get frustrated as not only do we hate the league form but we get knocked out of the cups due to his struggles with them.
It doesn't mean he is a bad manager or that were doomed! , But simply we have tried the shoe on and it isn't fitting right. Levy ain't going anywhere so we as fans have to hope the next shoe we try on will fit.
