Devils advocate again on the personality front - Pogba arguably played his best under Conte, and Pirlo/Buffon excelled with him, and they’re all big personalities.
On the point about other’s failings helping us succeed last season, I think Conte would agree, hence why he’s had the arse since last summer about the club’s recruitment policy failing to acknowedge that. I think this squad is probably 4th/5th best in the league, so we’re pretty much in the position we should be.
