They've looked just as awful at times, I don't think Conte deserves all of it, it's been a case of the players picking themselves up and an argument of no European football. Something which Mourinho is once again struggling to cope with.
Teams in Spain/Germany/Italy/France can all cope with it but it seems to be coming a struggle for teams in England a lot more now. It shouldn't but I think it's just down to this league being more competitive than any of the others. Barcelona can play midweek then easily shift 8 players around and still do a number over some minnow at the weekend. We might have had that same luxury at one point but even the bottom half of the Premier League are finding themselves with far bigger spending power than many of the top half teams of those other leagues. Just look at how much Newcastle can afford to spend in the Championship. One of the biggest wage bills in England undoubtedly nevermind the Championship alone. Speaking of which, we stay rooted top as we cruise to our 7th win in a row. #TheChampionshipIsHard
