Premier League Gameweek 3

Imagine having Conteball anywhere near Old Trafford…

Jesus wept.

You know what you get, he'd come in ruffle feathers and with our transfer dealings would've been gone early this summer.

The style of football is no different than Mourinho.

Spurs midfield is non existent for the second week running. Meaning Kane, Kulu have to work harder to get things done. Not ideal.

Spurs got rid of and replaced Mourinho to be "More attacking". Only to hire Nuno and Conte.

Yeah their midfield is bypassed pretty easily. Wolves playing really well though, certainly winning the midfield battle.
 
Conte's style might be successful but it comes at the cost of it being just horrible to watch. I know we're desperate, but I'd much rather we look to you know actually play football instead.
I don't know why people were praising him last season for squeaking into the top four. Papered a lot of cracks considering the forward line they had.

If I was a Spurs fan I'd be worried how easily Chelsea and Wolves have bypassed their midfield.
 
Bizarre to watch a Wolves game where they're not the reason it's boring

People would have been chucking themselves off the top tiers if we were subjected to this Spurs team against Nuno's Wolves.
 
Wolves midfield is so much better than ours it's ridiculous. And people say Neves isn't an upgrade on our current options(excluding Casemiro). :wenger:

His contract is running down so you can certainly do worse than him as the 8 option to drop in just infront of Casemiro.

At Chelsea, Conte had Kante which helped Hazard and Costa immensely.
It’s self inflicted too. Hojbjerg, Bentancur, and Bissouma are their 3 man midfielders and they’re all very average creatively.

Neves is not going to happen now anyway. We have our DM.
 
Spurs are so shite and it's making me more annoyed about the scandal of Stanford Bridge last week.

They should at least have the decency to get bummed in an entertaining manner, like a proper club.
 
After that free kick attempt from Son you just knew this was gonna be a shitfest...
 
I don't rate Emerson Royal much.

He looks like a centre half playing wing back. No idea where Djed Spence is, I suppose Conte just wants his fecking 4 CBs on the pitch at all times until they're winning when he can bring on a 5th.

I feel like both could still work together next to each other. But yea that boat has sailed now, no way we will spend another £80m on Neves now.
 
Gotta admire the job Bruno Lage has done. Wolves are looking much better than Spurs, and they have assembled a very nice group of players.
 
Felt like watching two Mourinho teams playing against each other, with Wolves somehow seeming like the team with the better individuals.
 
Neves and Casemiro is too slow and defensive in the middle. But that is just my opinion
I agree there a bit slow but Neves could be our deep lying playmaker who sprays the passes across the pitch. If we’re trying to implement a possession based style then we’d get away with 2 mids like that, aslong as they can pass.
 
Neves can do the job at a higher level. Spurs should've gone for him instead of Bissouma.
 
Ruben Neves is so good man.

Seems like a top team is never in for him. United have been crying out for a DM for years. Even Chelsea with Kante and Jorginho aging, probably should have taken a look at him this summer.
