To be honest, I don’t really know how much Maureen posts but I’ve generally agreed with him. If you take yourselves back to the NLD derby win and subsequently clinching top4 at Norwich, things were rosy in the garden. CL football, a couple of signings away from having a side to challenge the top of the league and perhaps go the distance in cup competitions. And a pre-season with Conte (which we all wanted to see the fruits of).
How have things turned out? Regression in terms of the quality of football. Constant drama over his contract. Out to Forest’s reserves in the LC. A porous comedy of a defence. Didn’t address the obvious issues at RWB and CB.
Yesterdays game was a shitshow at times and one has to wonder what has been going on at the training ground during the WC? The WC internationals stepped up (again) to rescue a point - which arguably could’ve been 3, if it wasn’t for the clownery at the back & surrender of the midfield (again) in the 1st half.
How much is on Levy, Paratici, Conte or the players is moot and will be a perennial argument on TFC.
The bald facts though re: Conte (pun intended) are that we have gone backwards while most of our rivals have strengthened and are playing far more attractive and bold styles
