    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I'm very much in agreement with those who think Ange has done a pretty remarkable job thus far. I had us finishing 7th or 8th at best given where we started from. Has it been perfect, no.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    With his quotes in that interview there's an interesting insight into Conte's ability to adapt to the squad he is given - at Inter, when playing 3-5-2 to best utilise that squad (albeit when they had 5 substitutes that allowed him more flexibility to make changes) it was said that with...
