I pretty much Agree with Jack. I hate Mourinho, but the guy has balls, He always takes off a defender and puts a striker. When small teams see the change they will not attack they will try to defend in order not to lose. But When Conte made subs (he dind't change formation), Parma just got braver and starting attacking more and were dominating us, compare to first 70 mins, where we had way more ball possession.
I totally agree with jack and rab about the conte being more afraid of losing then winning. He is a typical scary italian coach who brings on a defender for defender while being on a draw. Conte should had take the blame for both the goalless draws instead of pointing to the refs. That not want to win at any cost mentally is also the reason why Elia and del piero never plays because they take risks in their game. We are still on top also because other teams chocke big time in serie A. Conte has a lot to prove to be the different maker for the team and so far he failed at that part. We are still drawentus
I could pick out a few substitutions that I disagreed with (Borriello vs Siena), but he's brought on attackers in nearly all of the draws and they've not taken the chance to win the game. I don't think he can really rely on any of them at the moment, which is what he's got to work with. Matri's form has been sporadic, and the rest of our forwards haven't found their scoring boots. I'm sure we could all think of many wasted chances to win games off the top of our heads (Krasic vs Cagliari, for example).
It does seem like Conte wants to be able to use both the 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 effectively. I don't like the latter formation and hope he changes back, but I disagree that he uses it because he's okay with drawing games to remain unbeaten.
I think the problem is down to finishing good chances.

yeah insecure players without self confidence will bring you many many points. lack of confidence actually works wonders for players... best example is krasic, right? [/sarcasm]
when you lose 6 times you surely don't have the invincile spirit in mind "we will not lose", but more like "damn, the next mistake could lead to our 7th defeat" which will only make the guys more nervous and more prone to mistakes. this would surely impact the way our tactic works.

Sarcasm is not your strong forte, don't use it.

One of the forwards haven't found his scoring boots because it is extremely difficult to do that from the bench.
What I implied to say when I have been saying that the 3-5-2 is ok with him so he would remain unbeaten is that when the game is running he does not have the courage to change the formation fearing he would lose the game.
