Is he the most to blame? Probably not. He's top two though, only surpassed by Daniel Levy's newfound passivism to sacking underperforming managers. And even when he did get rid of Antonio, leaving his assistant (+ thus the same failed tactical approach) in charge is unforgivable.

The "Conte was right" brigade fail to realise we bought players to fit his terrible, rigid system. Injuries and individual errors don't excuse him for stealing a living this season. The only thing elite about him was his ability to deflect criticism at everyone but himself.
