I honestly think it was a bit of both, but more of the latter. He really didn't have the best options to choose from, especially in the defense and if the present squad we have now was at his disposal, a better position on the table could have been reached so I can't really fault him there. On the other hand, you're both right when you say that he was supposed to motivate and make better tactical changes when he should have. Even with the current team, we drew a bit more than we should have but Conte knows how to light a fire and he was able to right things when they needed to be. Delneri, I feel, doesn't have the same temperament and grit like Conte does.
