Think I have been pretty even in my criticism and have been a little more understanding of the performances than some but there is no defending that. Making United look like a top team is a farce. Losing and being outplayed is fine but being totally out fought is unforgivable. Like the Arsenal game, there ain't no defending that. 28 attempts to 8 is a joke
im genuinely baffled at how someone like Conte can play a 90 like he’s Nuno but is that why the players played like they’ve just met?
2-0 FT. Absolutely pathetic. Turgid performances across the board, barring Hugo Lloris, who kept the score down. Conte was the worst of the lot, though. Got it all wrong from start to finish. Awful.
2-0 FT I'm giving him until the world cup. If this weekly ****e hasn't improved by then, it's time for another manager hunt. This isn't some rookie who has never managed at this level before. Conte is much, much better than this and so are the players Paratici has assembled for him. Yes, there are weak spots as there are in many squads - this United side included for example, who lack anything close to a 20 goal a season striker - but the lack of fight, guile and willingness to adapt is unforgiveable.
