fudge me some of the posts in this thread over the last 24hrs…questioning if Conte is a top manager and all the “he should have done this, that or the fudging other”
And we wonder how we get our reputation [emoji2357]
He's not just a top manager, he's an elite manager. Klopp made loads of mistakes at the Dippers early on, Pep struggled in his first season despite having close to unlimited funds. Conte is human and will make mistakes but, fudge me, I'm delighted we have him and wouldn't swap him for anyone.
Yesterday was very disappointing. I said to the lad next to me at half time "we're struggling badly here but I've no idea what he should do". In hindsight, I'd have put more men in midfield and sacrificed a defender. That said, I felt very comfortable until around the 80th minute that we were defensively very sound and solid. The brick thing for football managers is that all of us amateur tactical gurus can tell them what they should have done without ever having our theories/tactical suggestions tested.
