Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

a few people have mentioned the team balance and formation - Conte could well be planning his usual 3 at the back and I for one can't wait to see that structure. Not only do we have four wing backs (Royal, Regi, Doherty and Sess) who will benefit from the approach, but the way that the team has to set up in midfield means we will have better scope to have someone creative sitting deeper and playing clever balls forward for our hold up (Kane) and pacey (Son) forwards.

Genuine question though from a Football Manager enthusiast - where do Bergwyn, Ali, Moura fit into that structure, aside from the possibility of a Moses-esque Moura at RWB?

They don’t
Their the spare parts that need to adapt

They might fit better into a 343 though...

Yeah i could certainly see Bergwijn and Moura playing in a front 3 (or even partnering Kane in a 2 if/when Son is not available).
The Alli of old would have worked in a front 3 as well but i think that guy has gone...:(

If Doherty ever makes a Conte squad, all confidence in his judgement will vanish.

I'll be interested to see which role (RWB or RCB) he uses Tanganga in though

You say that but the player we signed was a bombing wing back, who Jose tried to convert unsuccessfully into a full back. His confidence was shot as a result. He could be in for a resurrection here.

We have lots of players lacking confidence and who could come on loads. But Doherty is the only one without the basic ability - he's a championship player who is as out of his depth as his stablemate Gedson.

I don't understand why some bother following football at all. If you can't take enjoyment out of days like this what's the point?
Yes, it may fall flat on it's face in the future but worry about that when it happens, enjoy the moment now.

Because they are clams who contribute nothing to their club. Literally the worst kind of 'supporter' possible.

And Mourinho is also responsible for his crap performances for Ireland?
 
I,m being devils advocate here..
so the vast majority on here all think its going to be hunky dorey from now on ..lol
We have never had an ex london manager from another club bring us any success!!! let me remind you!
In fact IMO they have all been total disasters apart from maybe redknapp who thought engleland were better than Spurs..lol.
Graham won us a brick cup on the back of Ginola and then ditched him! one of our most exciting players ever...Terry Neil sunk us to the old second division and encouraged Jennings to go to the arse. Mourinho I thought might do something but we loved his football..i think not.
So there you all are tossing yourselves off over Conti...when in a few weeks time it will all go pair shapped and super spurzy again..
Happy viewing guys..
PS. offcourse I would love him to succeed but it aint going to happen..is it really...Stop kiding yourselves...:D
