A lot of revisionism going on. Mostly I imagine because he's ex chelsea and some of our fans can't stand that.
We were very strong under Conte from about the 1-0 away loss to Burnley onwards. He quite clearly had enough, what with his mates dying and his health failing. But when he was on his game and the team was playing for him, we were pretty formidable.
Football style is one thing, people can debate that all day, but match outcomes aren't debatable. We were good at gettings points before all the non-football things started to take their toll.
People act like we were in disarray when he was sacked. We were 20 seconds away from moving into 3rd place in the league. He was sacked after MW 28, and of those 28 rounds, we'd been in the top 4 for 21 of them.
Also, I don't think people here can keep denying there have been similar signs this season where, when under pressure, we fold. We'd dropped points from winning positions, we've had to cling on for dear life. How can people keep arguing it's a Conte thing? Or that it was a Mourinho thing.
There's something within our squad still that seems to default to panic stations, dropping back and clinging on.
