I am not hyping Conte for what he has done at Spurs thus far.
Thus far, he is doing just okay considering its Spurs, that he joined mid-season, he has to celebrate signing our rejects, and is competing in the EPL. If he gets top 4 that'd be a strong start and a job well done. If he ends up 5-6 that'd be lower than his high standards of punching above but overall just okay nothing to be proud of.
Less than 6th is poor. They're hiring an expensive top coach, his high salary means that he should do more than what a regular coach like Nuno would have achieved.
jager is hyping him while downplaying juve's results. just check his posts for yourself, mental gymnastics have no limits, it's really a treat.
i posted a few times that i can see spurs (not conte, spurs) getting 4th place easily as a few weeks ago they were in a good position to achieve that, and they certainly have stronger players than arsenal and a better coach than most teams really. but their current form is nothing to write home about. they surely have a better squad then their current form or seasonal achievements suggest:
- out of the conference league, finished the group behind vitesse and rennes (just checked, their results with nuno were 3 games, 1-1 win, draw and loss each, with conte it's 1 win 2 losses, they actually became worse with conte)
- out of the league cup vs chelsea, that's all right, chelsea have a stronger squad
- fa cup was their only realistic target, they're out vs middlesbrough, a championship team, needs no comment really
- their league form is a rollercoaster, which is a surprise. i'd expect conte to give consistency to a squad above all. they started well with conte, but recently they are in a negative 7-game streak with only 3 wins and 4 losses (against chelsea, saints, wolves, burnley, with only chelsea being acceptable). nuno was fired for less. and miraculously the bad streak coincides with conte's constant bitching about the quality of his squad and the ambitions of his employer. guys like jager surely appreciate his honesty, but it's ridiculously obvious how counterproductive conte's media presence is.
is he doing okay? honestly i can't tell, all i'm seeing are his stupid celebrations, constant bitching in the media and roller coaster results. sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. beating city being the
maybe good, losing to burnley, wolves, southampton, 'brough the
maybe shit part.
anyway, forza spurs, we need them to buy kulusevski. and i also don't mind an italian coach teaching epl a lesson, be it conte or anybody else. what jager's doing is still straight out retarded and ridiculous. rooting for a juve loss so that he can keep shitting on allegri, and rooting for spurs so that he can show up like a little smug prick in this thread when they finally beat a shit team like current everton certainly became a pretty weird pattern lately.
