This is like Tuchel saying we don't need midfielders. Just laughable.
But yeah just because James is our only "creative" outlet you are assumed Conte is talking about the same thing. But here, read it yourself.
https://www.90min.com/posts/antonio-conte-laments-lack-of-creative-players-tottenham
Your brain thinks any talk of creativity is talking about central midfield. Conte brain thinks of creativity from wingbacks and wingers. Take that to the bank. He is responsible for what he said, not how you interpreted it, besides Hojberg has 9 GA this season, so you are barking up the wrong tree.

Conte expects his midfield two and back 3 to be solid, and his wingbacks and wingers to be explosive. Conte will drop a Fabregas from midfield just to ensure this, you are yarning megedefegede out of your own wonky interpretation of what he said. Don't you know Conte at Chelsea, at least you should know Conte from InterMilan that will drop Eriksen for workmen midfielders and rely on Hakimi for creativity. Conte has no business with what you are assuming, you are making uninformed assumptions about his statement

So why is he complaining about that now? You know Conte better than Conte himself?
He is complaining his RWB and RW - EMERSON and GIL. Take that to the bank

You think Conte does not know his players for him to say that he lacks a creative player? shocked
Keep denying the obvious.
When has Conte ever sought creativity in his two holding DM

If you know Conte, you will know he is talking about wingbacks and wingers, especially his whole rightside (RWB and RW) which is nonexistent

FYI, Hojberg has 9 GA this season, so what are you saying?

First you don't know how Conte thinks, and mischaracterised his statement, then you point fingers at the wrong department. Same Conte that dropped Fabregas for Matic in his midfield 2 is the one you think is talking about central midfield creativity?

It's like you saying you MUST be close to the goal to score which is not entirely true though the chances are higher.

Spurs have 2 midfielders that you promote as the best thing since milk shakes but this is what Conte has to say


Antonio Conte laments lack of creative players at Tottenham
"We have different characteristics. We don't have many players who are really good to beat the man. We don't have many creative players in our team. For sure today was really difficult to find space in the first half.


Surely Conte knows what he is talking about.
Spurs play with 2 DM and 3 centrebacks. Creativity for them lies in removing one centreback and placing him in AM. You swapped an AM for a centreback, and you expect creativity? They don't even have a RWB that adds to the creative mix unlike James, nor a right winger at present with Kulusevski injury

Funny how city use an escort Rodri and are as creative in attack as any team can be while having good defensive solidity. Even funnier how Tottenham who parade two of your favourite robust DMs are leaking through both holes.

A team not creating chances, DM's fault; a team conceding goals, DM's fault; a team failing to score, DM's fault; a team not making UCL, DM's fault. Maybe we should just sign DMs and sack the coach cause we wouldn't need any afterwards.
I did not know Pep was managing Chelsea. Afterall we saw the same with Busquets that would make neophytes like you hail Busquets only to see Busquets collecting 3,4,8 goals regularly when removed from Pep system

And don't compare your useless Jogginghoe to Rodri. Rodri would never hide from the ball, he can ride players off his back regularly and controls the ball in order not to be exposed on counterattack, and he has body strength to claim the ball in duels, long legs and height that limit his weakness only to foot races which Kyle Walker is kept back as a safeguard against. Your Jogginghoe does none of that, except when he is playing against Crotone. He is weak on foot races, weak on using his body to claim the ball, weak on jumping to win the ball, weak on riding players on his back, weak on absolutely everything but belleface back-to-sender football which means more pressure and more ways to hurt our midfield, not just foot races

Remind me Spurs position in relation to ours again. Spurs prioritise three weak defenders over an extra body in midfield, the midfield are doing their job despite being outnumbered most games, their problem lies in a defence that doesn't contribute at all to ball retention like a back 3 is supposed to.

I told you clown Jogginghoe will never succeed consistently with a back 4 and Tuchel catching niggas by surprise with a new tactical formation for 4 months has no bearing on Jogginghoes quality

You got bamboozled into buying Jogginghoe hype after years of deeming him useless, based on a system that even Billy Gilmour thrived in. Jogginghoe whole Chelsea career boils down to 4 months from Feb to May 2021. That shows you are clueless and could not seperate the tactical protection afforded Jogginghoe for those 4 months from his ability, which I consistently highlighted. Kantes runs took so much pressure off him in that system, we could see how useless he was when Kante got injured and opposition stopped worrying about tracking Kante and attacked Jogginghoe. You got so carried away, you were tipping Chelsea to win league at the start of last season, putting hope in that useless passenger

Since 2018, the only position that hasn't been changed is Jogginghoe. It's easy to know our biggest problem. Nobody will buy anything you have to sell about your useless Jogginghoe in 2023. We have seen more than enough.

That's word to the mother! Casemiro is our most important player at the moment (in my books).

What do you think of Potter's chances of success with this unbalanced team?
Top 4 is already gone this season

He should first replace Jogginghoe with two CDM if he wants any chance of success, then we start from there

Team no fit create chances them talk say, "Na pawa we need" grin

This some funny shiit
Go and ask Real Madrid galacticos team of 2000s how creative they were after losing Makelele

Or ask Chelsea team of 2016 how creative they were ontop having assist master Fabregas in midfield while battling just to plug leaks

Na person wey done balance dey show artistry

Creativity starts from the back, starts from staying in the game with a competitive midfield, and not having attacking players plugging leaks as midfield is being overrun. When the team is balanced and not chasing shadows, then you can talk about creativity

Na the same Manure attacking players we saw last season, just adding Casemiro has given them balance and allowed them to focus on the offensive part of the game, not chasing shadows backward to cover an unbalanced midfield

Wow! Wonderful speech!!! Let's analyse these managers after dumped them:

Lampard: He rightfully found his level with Everton where his biggest achievements were getting a draw at the Etihad and narrowly escaping relegation last season.

Sarri : His biggest achievement was winning a fluke Seria A which couldn't save him from getting disgracefully sacked after a miserable UCL outing. For his legendary expertise, he now manages Lazio.

Tuchel: I can't analyse whom you have even cursed with joblessness because there is nothing to talk about.

Harry potter: The less said about the English Hushpuppi the better. Soon, he will downgrade to running local scams on relegation threatened clubs or championship clubs.
Analyse this:

I wake up everyday thanking God for my physique cos I can't imagine myself looking as Lin and weak as Jorginho.

when we had Fabregas, he compensated for his sluggishness with his precision passes which accounted for his many assists. Jorginho is an all round disaster whose presence does not only undermine, but also displaces Kante.

"Jorginho used to beat us, forcing us to call him 'Casemiro' at the training ground"...... Mason Mount

When you change every position except the weak point and the same failures keeps repeating itself, you don't need to look far for the problem

Cucurella's attacking contributions have been next to zero - surprising considering his record at Brighton last season. At least he was solid defensively so not totally useless.

Longevity and present talent are two different things. I don't agree with signing West African players over 25. Just when Arsenal give Partey contract, you'll be surprised when he fall off the cliff due to age, although he's done well to last this long. I'm sure you remember how we carried Essien for 3 years past his sell by date

Thank you man, I'll really appreciate it. But just to clarify. There's a town called Geroge Ama, And there's also a town called Ndubis Ama?
Ndibuisi shares the same island with Ogan Ama but they are from George Ama. However the two sides don't cross boundary into each others land historically despite sharing the same Island due to some historic beef I can't recall

Chief Ogan and Chief George broke out from Okrika mainland and cultivated those islands together and were best friends. I don't know the origin of the beef with Ndibuisi but I suspect Ndibuisi may have been a house within George that had problem with Chief George and fled to seek refuge on Ogan island, and later fell out with Chief Ogan or his descendants
