Lets give conte a chance shall we? Everyone here has been spouled by conte overacheiving in his first season. I firmly believe if he didnt win a tite in first year or second year, there would not be this crazy expectation on him

Embarrassing for you that is , not for the club which this season again won the title and a semi final in el . I dont think other than real madrid and Atm any of the other so called top teams like chelsea ,city, munich and barca have done something outstanding just by reaching the Qf/Sf in europe .

you talking to me? I'll celebrate any piece of silverware, I'm celebrating this scudetto in the same manner as any others we've won in the past, none is worth less or more than any previously won, this excuse of "the league is weak" is just pathetic to say the least. I said this back at calciopoli and i'll say it again. We may be the most successful team in Italy but winning should never be taken for granted or seen as our divine right! what we win is through hard work and determination, and for that it should be applauded and celebrated

Why wont you be shocked ? , loyalty is something you dont know about . Just want to support a Champions winning league team and nothing else matters . Do you get some special prize for reaching Qf/Sf in europe ? .

I'll correct you, no problem mate. 
Our domestic success is on an unprecedented scale, due to the simple fact that Serie A hasnever sucked as much as it does now. Winning titles in today's Italian league does not require a particularly good coach, as it did in the past when we had Lippi and Ancelotti (yes, he failed, but Serie A was very strong back then, that's my point). It's just not competitive, that's the (sad) truth and that's why a mediocre coach like Conte can coast through it with ease. Look at Roma- they have an above average team and had like 10 wins in a row at the start of the season and again in the last two months. This a clear indication (one of many) that Serie A isn't a strong competition atm imo.
In relation to you other points - since when is an EL SF considered a success? I thought we were meant to win the whole thing in our own stadium and Conte again failed to deliver. As for the CL last season (because this one was obviously a disaster) - Conte wasn't on the bench in the group stage ( where Juve was impressive, I admit) and then when he came back we put on two mediocre displays against a mediocre opponent like Celtic and got away with it. In the quarters we were twice humiliated against Bayern. How can that be called a success? Are you a fan of Juve or what? And who predicted that Juve will get destroyed in such a manner? Noone. If I remember correctly, most pundits thought it would be pretty close.
And who was responsible for the disaster in the CL this year?

To be fair, for the sake of argument we could say we have failed in Europe this year, but if this season is considered a failure then we succeeded last season. So yes, the verdict is definitely still out on Conte on the European stage, but I think we are collectively in this position largely because Conte has won the scudetto so convincingly in the last three seasons, even though you could argue that he shouldn't have. As fans we are getting a bit greedy and enjoying an entitlement, only because Conte has brought us here ahead of the curve.
Keep in mind, that this season was the first time we were looking at domestic dominance technically as part of the broader project. That's a big reason why we are today in a position to question Conte's abilities in Europe. He would've otherwise easily had a few more years to prove himself on the continent than we are willing to give him today.
