Never liked Antonio Conte - dont think he will do good!

Oh come on. You are allowed to be a little more pessimistic

Interesting the Times (article behind a paywall) are reporting he will play 442 with us next season. Could be interesting. Not sure about Cesc in a 442.

Nice of him to call up the times and give them a run down of what formation he will use

I like the 2 up front. Frankly i have come to hate this 4231

Simply no, I also don't think that role suits him as he has to work too hard defensively and it seems to take away from the creative side of his game.

But he has shown that he can and will put the effort in and do a shift defensively if his role requires it.

I will also say that I don't think he is defensively inept as some people have suggested but will agree it definitely isn't one of his strong suits and he certainly will miss tackles and he will allow people passed him.

Honestly I disagree with a lot of things. We probably just have different opinions/expectations from our CMs.

I think cesc'a defensive ability is sh*t. And I don't just mean running around, following runners, but even his defensive understanding of the game. What's worse is that when played up front as a no. 10, his close control and ball retention is abysmal. 3 years with the kings of balls shielding and ball retention (iniesta and Xavi) and he seems to have learned nothing from them.

I think koke and kroos are as creative as cesc and they are 10 times the player cesc is defensively.

Christ

He said he never coaches counter attacks. Because his footballing philosophy isn't to retreat and spring, it is to press quickly.

This is pretty much what I meant.

di marzio has reported cudicini could join conte in coaching staff role. 

Cudicini is already 'club ambassador' based on a description on a blog post he did on the official site so could see that happening

Would be great have him. He defintely seems to have got in there with the top guys at Chelsea.

Good article written here by Carlo.

We were poor but got the win in the end, great goal by Eder.

This is pretty impressive set of stats.

Antonio Conte's competitive record for #ITA:

WWWDDDWWWWWW

Goals: 19

Conceded: 7

Clean sheets: 6

Yeah but can he do it on a cold, wet....

... Y'know the rest...

That said thought Italy were very poor today. Got the win though

Winning whilst playing poorly, how we could have done with that last season.

Hallmark of champions grinding out wins when you play badly, with better attacking options im quite looking forward to what he can do with us, and very interested as to what formation he will be using here, as I dont see us with 3 at the back or in a 4231, and with his preference towards wingers with attacking football im hoping we are gonna head back in the direction of the club I grew up with, that being attacking attractive football.

we're already halfway there.

Lot of comparisons with LVG being made currently, being used as either a stick to beat him with or used as a warning to Chelsea fans. 

 

Not too worried myself, Conte is a younger coach and with a history of recent huge success at club level. 

 

I do wish he wasn't joining us off the back of an international tournament because I think it will hinder our pre-season preparations but despite that I do think it's a good appointment by the club and not as short term/short sighted as LVG was for United who I think they were looking to be a quick fix for the disaster that was Moyes.

So pretty much like every Italian national side in history. Italy on their way to route the group, its early but they look like one of the favourites to me

He is a workaholic, too. ‘There are 24 hours in a day,’ Conte has been quoted as saying. ‘I sleep five of them and devote three to my family. That leaves me with 16 to work with.’ It was even said that his wife, Elisabetta, used to wake up in the night to find her husband downstairs, watching football replays of upcoming opponents on TV.
