Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

When the Juventus fans accused Conte of treason for becoming Inter coach he said very explicitly: I am a professional and I become the number one fan of the team I coach because it is my job and I want to work at my best.
 
Honestly want us to give him a 5 year contract and let him turn us into title winners. Why not? He’s one of the best managers in the world. Look at the job he’s done already
If the day before he arrived , someone said he will sort all this shit out in a few months , have you playing proper football and challenging for the top four , we’d have laughed him out of the place . Conte is a bloody genius , we have to back him . (Up to you Mr Levy )
 
I think today's performance wasn't "conteball", there some elements of his passing patterns, but our wingbacks were hopeless and we struggled to play through a press. We can do that at a slower pace like against Everton and co, or when Villa was gassed in the second half.

There's a HUGE potential for improvements if we can get a top CM and two quality wingbacks.
It was not only the wing-backs who were struggling today, though - the whole team was shaky in the 1st half, unable to string together passes and often lost the ball.
In the 2nd half, neither Emerson nor Reguilon were that bad IMO - and Reguilon helped stretch Villa defense.
 
I am not 12 ! I have suffered Gross, Ramos, Graham and relegation, promotion.
Conte is a winner who has already carved out the players that would never have fitted into HIS style of play. He is trying to give Sess and Winks a chance to shine or leave. He has signed 2 players who went straight into the team not bench warmers or some unknown French or Dutch players who never get into the team and quietly leave so as not to emphasise the enbaassment of signing them in the first place.
I started supporting Spurs in 1964 and I am hoping to see them hold the premiership trophy before I pass on. Conte has won titles in England and Italy, he was outstanding as a player too. Winners are hard to find.

You claim to be a supporter since 1964, yet totally ignore Burkinshaw?

Ok.
 
You’ll be running out of love hearts at this rate
I have a lot of love to give 😂

I think the Kulusevski ones must be at the bottom of this pile.......
 
Different eras. Did Burkinshaw ever win a league title ?
I was around when he was manager and he was brilliant but would he cope with highly paid players, Lev?y
Different eras? We're talking Conte being the best Spurs manager since Billy Nick (different era)?

No, Burkinshaw didn't win a league title. He won two FA Cups and an UEFA Cup. More than any Spurs manager has done since.

'but would he cope with highly paid players'? Who knows? Who cares? What the fuck has it got to do with his legacy? Do Man Utd supporters ask themselves the same about Matt Buby, or Liverpool supporters about Shankly?
 
It’s very simple. He is the best manager we could possibly have.

Back him, keep him happy and content and seriously good things will happen.

If he is as good as I think he is, he will prove himself to be better than both Guardiola and Klopp.

The man is a proper fucking football manager.
