Some rant by Conte, now 1/5 to be next premiership manager to be sacked.
Southampton 3-3 Tottenham: Antonio Conte's furious media conference after Spurs let lead slip - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/65004422
Listened to it and he's not wrong. Whether Levy and Co want to be reminded of their own shortcomings in public is another thing.
If they do sack him, expect it to get messy.
He’s not wrong.
But about 4 miles down the road a manager with no big reputation, has spent similar amounts of money to Conte turning what was a weaker squad than Spurs into likely PL winners, and doing so while playing attractive football.
So what Levy want to do, can be done.
ENIC just have this awful habit of picking managers who aren’t suited to the job. like Conte, probably the biggest fraud in the history of management.
Refuses to change his team, until forced by injury. Refuses to change his formation to suit what’s available. Concedes midfield in every game, regardless of opposition. He’s getting paid over a million a month to manage Spurs and every single player has gone backwards apart from the bombproof Kane.
He’s an absolute con man.
Conte gone, so who will Levy turn to now? Lampard....
Now that the dust has settled a bit I'll give you my two bobs worth on Armagh...We have lost the plot, Armagh have great forwards and playing them all in our own half back line is a sin. I get what KMcG is trying to achieve by pulling everyone back and trying to hit the other teams on the counter as we're poor defensively atm but it's not working. I love Armagh and have followed them all my life and I'm considering taking a sabbatical away as I genuinely can't watch that crap atm. I honestly would rather be beaten and having a go/rattle than get beaten in a close game that was like watch grass grow.
For some reason our top forwards are all below par and seem to be short of confidence...do we go for a shoot out with the Kerry's etc and get humped as we'll be left exposed at the back?...I dunno but if we're still losing anyway why not try it out and see. We have to go to Omagh next week and Tyrone will love nothing more than relegating Armagh and we will only have ourselves to blame for this mess as we had a chance to win every game so far and couldn't manage it, from what i have seen the 3 teams at the bottom are the worst teams in Div 1 and there's nothing between Monaghan and Armagh so whoever has the goolies for it next week will stay up.
I know i'm a bit old school here but can someone please tell me why all forwards are afraid to shoot from 30-45m out, this is from all the games in general. Are forwards told not to shoot unless it's in front of the posts...is this a % thing?. you see guys in what i think is a scoreable position but they won't shoot and recycle the ball across and back and across and back and across and back before someone gets dispossed and the counter attack starts...WTF. You're a County footballer, get within 30-45m and pop the the ball over the bar. Even at club level I played with guys who didn't think twice about shooting from those ranges and hardly ever missed...Maybe the footballer is being replaced with an athlete now and fitness/strength is preferred to a proper footballer...
Rant over...
There's a lot of good in what Jamie says but it won't happen purely on the basis of the vested interests of the Munster and Leinster councils giving up their cash cows, it ain't going to happen.
Sometimes the hurling elite have no interest in developing hurling outside their own wee cabal.
Like the Ulster football provincial.
Not sure if it up to Munster and Leinster though.
It starts with clubs and more importantly, counties.
This is how it works within the GAA, delegates, county secretaries will be put under pressure by being told "vote this way or you can say goodbye to your GDO's" or some other grant/incentive will be applied..
The development of hurling has been left to the hurling elite yet we're shocked to see that the gap isn't closing between them and the "developing" counties.
Yeah it goes from underage right up. I still think we are punching above our weight.
I’m not sure we are, I think where we are is probably about right.
Look at the teams immediately below or around us, Laois, Westmeath, Kildare, Kerry, Offaly. We should be ahead of them all really when you look at resources, populations etc
Andy McEntee has done a great job!
