Not sure any manager would have, we still had two CB's and it shouldn't have been beyond a manager to adapt to that and maintain a forward approach. Perhaps he thought by keeping the three he could really push his wingbacks into the attack but that's not a given and certainly not an option any other manager would definitely take.Lol any manager in the world would have subbed in a cb in those circumstances. Hardly the stick to beat Conte with.
The real issue with Conte is that with 200 million over 3 windows and a full preseason the only players to have improved this season are Bentancur and Royal (and Royal had to do that all on his own).
Son, Kulu, Sess, Davies, Dier, Kane in many ways - all have regressed. Rather than us mastering his system the opposite has occured.lp
And not one of his summer signings have had any impact whatsoever.
That's the real worry.
