Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We play much better on the front foot as numerous 2nd halfs this season have shown but conte starts every match with the handbrake on. Does he never learn? Start fast get in their faces like we did 2nd half the today but it’s already too late AGAIN

So you really think Conte is saying something like “take it easy in the first half. I want you going at 80%”

You think he told Hugo to throw the ball in his own net too?
 
Am I the only one who finds it absolutely incredible that our chairman and manager seem to be stuck in a civil war over signing a contract? Is this a professional football club or a fucking circus? This should have been resolved after the Villa game, either with Conte being dismissed or a new contract and doubling down on backing him. Only Daniel fucking clown Levy could get us caught in this shit
 
People will tell me I’m wrong, but Conte is a problem. He has no plan B, the 3-4-3 set up is so predictable, teams have worked it out. He’s not going to change it.

A manager on his salary should be able to improve this team, there’s been money spent. He’s not doing that.
 
They won't get fans back onside. Fans have seen through their bullshit. Conte was/is their last hope. If hje fails, we prove that our board are not interested in running a successful football club.

Have they?

They'll sing he's magic you know, he'll play Spence, we'll play more attacking. Beat some average teams , fans will be happy/happier
But we'll still be the same tarted up entity.
That constantly fails when it counts

Levy out !
 
ENIC are appeasing the fans with big name managers and going against their original business model and no fan likes them for it, they are not getting success and we all would be better with their original model that was set up for moderate success
Yep. Levy has always tried to act bigtime without giving the backing. Appointed Arnesen who wanted Jol as manager but Levy wanted a big name so overuled him with Santini. Hence Jol coming in as coach and Arnesen and Santini falling out almost straight away. Shambles.

Most manager Arteta, Pep, Klopp have no plan B. That is the point, they have plan A and you buy them the players for plan A to work. We don’t have the players for Conte plan A so it’s fucked.
 
It will be Poch.

Quick fix. Gets the fans back onside. ENIC escape criticism.
For what we need, Poch is the right choice for me.

We need to accept we’re in need of a rebuild and there’s no one I trust more in that than Poch for a club like us. At least he’s adaptable in his tactics.

We got close, we failed and now we’re on the way down. Kane and Son are going to need replacing soon, and that’s been our main outlet for 6-7 years. Kane should leave and go and win a trophy, he’s career deserves it.

We need to accept it’s the end of the cycle and rebuild.

I love Spence, and I think his treatment has been a disgrace, but if our fans think that Spence would make us 10x better as a team, then we deserve 10x shit than what we're getting at the moment.

Yeah that’s what I said isn’t it 🥱.
We play defensive football until we have no choice ie 0-1/2 down then we look ok.
You would think that this would prompt conte to play a different way in the next game but no
every game we start the same, 8 men behind the ball, defensive football with a terrible defence and a woeful goalkeeper

Merson jsut said it, if you play that formation your wingbacks have to be quality and ours are doc and sess which is criminal.
