Yet Another Ex-Manager Watch: Cristian Stellini

[JCRD]

Based on absolutely no evidence, I always get the impression that Conte is very strict with his instructions and it impacts the players negatively sometimes....in some cases restricting their freedom and creativity, in other cases imparting doubt and causing nervouness and lack of confidence because he does not really trust some of them.

I would imagine Stellini has been somewhat looser with instructions and also more senior players feel more empowered in Conte's abscence to make their own decisions.

West Ham are awful though so hard to read too much into todays result but will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I have compared it to when say your boss is overseeing your work or attending meetings with you - sometimes you go in to your shell slightly as you feel youre being judged continuously - worried youre going to do the wrong thing or do something he doesnt approve. I dont think Stellini is doing anything differently just perhaps the players are playing a bit more freely and without fear of reprisal.

The performance still wasnt great particularly in the first half but the players still attempted to be more positive which is pretty obvious.

Some interesting quotes on Emerson in here, saying he needs to feel the love in order to bring the best out of him. Let's hope we've seen the end of booing him at matches.

Conte out Stellini in ?

Son on for Kulu was a good choice

 

[Impspur1]

Is he a serious contender if AC leaves in the summer?

Temporary Tims record in danger ?

When Conte comes back, I hope the players chip in and award Stellini with a Golden Gilet.

Is he a serious contender if AC leaves in the summer?

I doubt it unless he fancies becoming a full time manager himself.

We look much better with him in charge just on the eye test. Players are pushing higher up the pitch, there is more pressing as a team, quicker passing. 4/4 wins but more impressive is the manner of the wins. I don't know how much input Conte would have had in the line up but once the match starts Stellini makes the decisions. I think he has been a lot more proactive than Conte.

 

[rabbikeane]

The situation also allows Conte to get more distance avoid tunnel vision and be more analytic. I just think it works for everyone.

 

[HildoSpur]

Doing a fantastic job it has to be said

 

[wishkah]

If he gets conte a one year extension it will be one of those strange football stories.

…his new chant could be “Pochs #2”. That was a joke don’t punch me.

Looks like hes done a night of Stella, rolled out of bed to his painting and decorating job without a shower, then turned up for a his Spurs job and played another blinder. Quite like the chap

 

[isaac94]
