Antonio Conte - Now Officially Manager

Featured Replies

Afraid he will go ballistic when he sees Mikel walking around giving up goals or cesc being invisible for half the season or Hazard playing based on his mood or willian giving up the ball every time he is in possession. He will scream at them and be disgruntled resulting in the palpable discord line in december.

I was one of Jose's biggest fans, but even I laugh when I see the constant attempts to lesser last season's catastrophe from his shoulders.

Do I think the players are totally blameless? No, but it doesn't sit easy with me when people doubt that these players can work hard, ummmm 13 months ago they stretched every muscle in their body to bring the title back home, Hazard was even playing on painkillers.

Ultimately Jose f**ked up big time and was deservedly sacked, if he was 6th or even 10th I can understand and probably would have been on board with the "stick with him through the hard time argument", but one point of relegation after 15 games is beyond unacceptable, I think even Fergie would have been sweating for his job under similar circumstances.

No problems then mate, bet Conte will have them ripping their hearts out. Hmmm, can't wait.

I thought Jose was capable of that as well but the players showed that they cry in the face of adversity...

They sure show more heart

Also funny you mention Spurs because when Poch took over from Sherwood they had a squad accused of not caring, now the same bunch with Alli, Dier and Alderwierld added are arguably the fittest and mosy hardworking side in the division.

I find it funny that you absolve the players of all blame and put it all on jose. Even Jose was the one who won us all titles just 13 months back. This has been discussed to death so not going there. Both share the blame

I already said they aren't blameless, so stop twisting my words.

You said they weren't blameless and went on to portray how they were not and only Jose was to be blamed. Stop contradicting yourself. We both agree both were to blame. Jose is gone so i still blame the players that are still here.

Well there isn't much a man can stomach when he sees someone he looks up to acting like a man-child repeatedly.

We shall see how Conte reacts when faced with difficulty. Already seen he can go ballistic, even more than jose...

Well I think Conte won't insult any of his staff nor have issues with a referee at an opponent's stadium and also sub in sub out his players just to prove a point.

Lol. Sure

I remember a certain new Man City doing all of that also.

Mate go read on Pep's post match after the 3-1 defeat to Porto after the blame was laid on the medics and compare to that of Jose. I don't want to come across as a Jose hater because I'm not and I loved him as any other passionate Chelsea fan but certain events from last season has me thinking twice. I'm grateful for he has done for Chelsea but certainly not wishing him luck at Utd.

The post match comments that meant the Munich doctor and all his team quit saying:-

"the bond of trust is damaged' and called the blame centred at his department 'inexplicable'

 

Amazing how many people seem willing to forgive Guardiola yet are more than happy to hammer Mourinho.

Pep's post match conference mate, that's how damage control works. Ensured the media didn't chew long on that piece of meat. Let's drop the issue not worth discussing ex-managers when we have an exciting new one.

Yeah, thats why they dropped it. I`m sure that made the Munich doctor who had been there for nearly 40 years feel much better.

Can't wait to see him rip into the players, and the press alike.  The one thing I've notices in his interviews is there isn't really that "us against the world" mentality that you had with Jose.  He is intense, certainly, but he loves his football and I think he wants his players to share his passion.

 

Laziness and lies will not be tolerated.  Whereas with Jose, it was "all aboard the Jose show!"  I don't think it'll be like that with Conte.

 

This isn't me bashing Jose.  Merely sharing my observations in subtle differences of their persona

I kinda agree with this analysis. Big jose supporter and really didn't want him to be sacked but his us vs the world thing got stale after a while.

From a football fan perspective, Jose at United will be a fasanating plot.

He has so far in his career been the ultimate manager for instant satisfaction, but he has always at worse only ever really had one fellow top manager to compete with, now he's got both Pep and Conte to see off, I would add Klopp if he had a better side.
