I'd also say bar Burnley and a couple of others we're probably the least technically gifted team in the division. When put under pressure we cant pass our way out as we dont have that ability, bar 2 or 3 none of our players are comfortable on the ball.We've always been shit against high energy, high pressing teams...the players are not capable of coping with it, no matter what Conte drills into them, it's all about composure under pressure....you either have it or you don't and more than a few just don't have it...
Glad you opened your ridiculous post with an apology. Maybe delete the rest, to save yourself the embarrassment.
HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO YOU FUCKING CUNTS NEED TO BE TOLD.
The manager keeps changing, the results don't. Ergo, for the most part, it is NOT the manager. It is the shithouse players we've bought so fucking focus your ire on Levy/Enic and our shit recruiting.
The common denominator is LEVY.
Fuck off. Christ
His Inter struggled against Atalanta both times they played a 0-0 and a 1-0 win (the game they won they had 1 shot on target and scored, Atalanta, were in double digits). They also struggled against Napoli (1-0 win and a 1-1 drew) again in the game they won against them they has 2 shots on target all match whilst despite being down to 10 men for a lot of 2nd half Napoli still had 60% of the possession and were in double digits for shots.Dont know if this has been said or asked here yet. Im a big fan of conte and regard him as top 5 in world at the moment.
But is his system coming unstuck against high tempo hard pressing teams. When over chelsea he struggled against us despite (beating us in cup) who at the time played with the highest tempo in the league. Liverpool and city hadnt got their systems fully up and running at the time. Teams like southampton werent like they are.
In italy he wouldnt have come up against anything like that at all. I know wolves dont play it but just making an observation.
He needs to find a way to combat teams who play it
4 important players? they was hardly playing so thats a bit much. if bentancur is going to be our first choice CM then it was a decent window that improved our first team.Oh dear.
But all the proper fans on here were claiming that we had a good window and strengthened the teamRead that...he's is off.
Also shows even he thinks we have weakend in January. The board don't care though, they just wanted to save on wages.
We just have to accept the higher ups will NEVER give a shit.
Well i'm not Conte but i'd imagine with Skipp injured he'd prefer to call on Lo Celso or Ndombele than no one. The thing is though if he's not happy with what has been done and he's not happy with the club just going for prospects then it just has an inevitability about it.4 important players? they was hardly playing so thats a bit much. if bentancur is going to be our first choice CM then it was a decent window that improved our first team.
besides gil has gone on loan for rest of season, if that makes us that much weaker why allow him to do that? thats not a move thats designed to save wages.
Reads to me that he wanted those players out but more (and more experienced) players inSo did they do it despite his objections or is he chatting shit now?

Then why didn't he play them then?Reads to me that he wanted those players out but more (and more experienced) players in
