Just as his negative approach got raped in Europe, it's failing him atm in the BPL. His team looked clueless against Liverpool tonight. Dominated. Needing goals but sitting back and keeping defensive shape above all. He's lucky Costa bailed him out a couple times in the first games.

I thought it was a decent tactic considering we have our biggest problems with teams that sit back and defend. But then we got those goals out of nowhere and he couldn't respond in the 82nd minute.

That's not Conte setting up like that because he's studied Liverpool in depth though, judging by his time here he'd be setting up like that regardless.
He's going to have to change his approach, Chelsea looked hopeless.

I don't think he has the players to do what he wants at the moment. He was lining up in a 4-4-2 a lot in the preseason, but it didn't work either. He's a defense first coach so I think it may be another couple of transfer windows before we see what he can really do.
