Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

one of those games sadly

once we get 2 good wingbacks and a decent creative mid we would be ok

we miss someone charging at these teams and unlocking them

conte cant do much against these stubborn sides till we sort that out
 
I don’t understand people who ask for a different formation. Conte has used 3 at the back for the majority of the clubs he’s managed and it was almost disastruous when he used a back 4 at Chavs. Why the fuck would he change what’s been working for years? It’s clear he needs better players, not a different formation.

None of that means we must sit and passively do nothing late in the game when points need to be rescued......

It's not so much about playing a back 4 though; Even 352 with wingers instead of wingback would have been a welcome.
 
I absolutely don’t want to see a back 4 when starting games, the back 3 has been a massive improvement. Later in the game when things aren’t working and we are chasing a game a back 4 is welcome.

Edit: That is not to say I want us going to a back 4 in every match that we are trailing, but it’s something to consider.

The overwhelming likelihood is that Conte has tried this in training and it hasn't worked. We only see a tiny % of what goes on at the club. I don't buy for a second that the man who used Perisic/Young as wing backs wouldn't have tried wingers there when we have the utterly useless Emerson at RWB.

IMO he's tried it and the players don't work there .. which doesn't really surprise me.
 
Seems I need to gargle both of Conte’s cahones at the same time here to be truly appreciated. Still a work in progress

Have you got enough room for both?

What a man you are!
