Conte deserves time at Spurs because I have absolutely no doubt he's the best we're getting for some time.
He certainly hasn't given up and started playing for the sack. He's still competing and he's doing it with a handicapped squad.

It's weird with Conte but I think he genuinekt likes the club I really do but..
He ain't going to stay unless he gets a level of backing. He had it in summer and I think he wants a bit more.
Should that happen in January he will sign a new contract as will Kane. At least I think so.
The thing is to get the players we need to be in the last 16 of the CL and probably in the carrot cake cup and I would say in the top 5.
I an happy to he held to all that as an unknowing assessment/guesstimate

Conte getting us top four last season was a miracle with a huge slice of luck from Woolwich bottling it.
There is no doubt that we are in a much better place than we were when he took over.
That said, it's fair by now to expect us to be playing better football and acting more like one of the best teams in the league on a more regular basis.
No doubt Conte is still hamstrung by a sizable chunk of average to poor players clogging up the squad but he is not infallible. He has shown stubbornness with both his system, approach to rotation and favouritism.
I think we just have to wait out this choppy period and once the duds and the average old guard are faded out we can be a top team under Conte.

I keep saying this why compound - exabberate our worst players ?
Foyth is better than donkey royal as well and his played well in Spain winning a trophy as well. We let messi mk2 go as well who’ll be back tmrw. That’s on conte though tbh.
Skipp doesn't get a sniff at any elite club, as per my comment.
Oh come on...... Are you indirectly suggesting that only "elite" players are good enough for Spurs squad?
Is every player at Utd. elite?
Is every player at Arse elite?
Is every player at Liverpool elite?
Is every player at Chelsea elite?
Even City.... Is Ake "elite"? ...Phillips? Gomez? Palmer? Alvarez?
Skipp is absolutely good enough for our squad.... And he's still growing.

Exactly right. People seem to think we need 14 world class players to win. Nobody has a squad like that.

Skipp is still establishing his place in top flight football, but early indications are that he's the real deal.
What about him do you not like?
City kinda as
Probably that he’s an intelligent footballer,
Richarli SF on doesn’t fI’ve then?
Mctominay and Fred are elite are they?!
Which is the problem. A financially doped club with a bottomless pot of cash has changed other fans perspective of their clubs into an unrealistic one. They play by a different set of rules and play the game on cheat mode.
Yep,
We've got 3 now City, Chavs and Newcastle (Newcastle aren't there yet, but they will be)
And some people are silly enough to use the first two winning trophies as a club to beat us with.
When you're on cheat mode it's easy to win.
I get your point but if you watch those clips side-by-side you see that it is not quite at the same pace.
No one in the Chelsea clip took even half of the time on the ball that Hjojberg needed for example.
Almost every player of us nedded 2 touches of the ball , i think maybe that is the problem
Yeah same with City away we can do it, but we can't do it consistently.
