I didn't say Sheffield United was an exception, I said Leicester was in that period of league games where we won and kept clean sheets. I said Wednesday was a disgrace, so I agreed with you there. Milan was the first of a two legged tie that I still believe we can overturn and beat them.Let’s leave it here as I think we aren’t that far apart but you’re picking fights about things I haven’t said. No milan wasn’t a league game, but you described Wednesday as ‘the exception’ which also wasn’t a league game (and forgot about the Leicester debacle), so I don’t think looking at our overall form in all competitions is unreasonable, and nor did I suggest Milan was on the level of the Leicester performance, in fact quite the opposite as I put it in a separate category of mediocre. There is needless negativity on here, but also needless positivity (the nothing is on Conte crowd) and I will disagree with both when I see it
I have criticised Conte when he deserves it, and I have praised him when he deserves it. My problem is with people that just don't give credit where it is due and conveniently ignore his returning early from surgery like he doesn't care about the club. He obviously does.
He has his faults. He also has his pros. He has also suffered life changing events in the past few months, so I give him the benefit of that as someone who has severe depression myself.
