Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

When Conte speaks, does anyone get the impression that he's fully committed himself to being in here?

He just doesn't give off the vibe that he's all in.

If he were committed, he would have signed an extension during the World Cup break, however he wants to be backed. This board aren’t going to back him if they aren’t sure he’s committed.

Vicious circle
 
Wish conte just had the balls to bench Hugo, dier, son....... These players simply are not good enough right now, benching them and giving someone else a chance should send a message to the board. I honestly feel they still think they're sitting on a golden generation squad here when it is stale as fuck and needs a major shake up. Start with Hugo immediately, we are the definition of insanity

Well they could always get assurances of funding written into the contract if that's what was making him hesitant about signing.

He ain't signing even if we pony up 200mil for him to spunk.
 
Give Conte Peak Lloris, Vertonghen, Toby, Walker, Rose, Dembele, Wanyama, Peak Kane, Son, Eriksen etc. and he wins you the League with 100 points.

I love Poch but he lucked out, and even he got Sissoko when he wanted Mane.

I seriously doubt it. We had CL and Chelsea had no CL and the two best players in the league at the time Kante and Hazard. Hazard was by miles the best player that season, he was close to unplayable, Son also wasn’t anywhere near the player he became a few seasons later.

Don’t get me wrong Conte is good but that team was never player for player as good as people make out.

He won’t, because he risks the young lads coming in and playing well.

He’s basically a passive aggressive dork who is sulking with the board for being useless, unambitious cunts.
 
After today I'm taking a reverse approach to the Conte conundrum.

Does anyone really believe in the 3 at the back in every game, regardless of the quality of the opposition?

I don't think the players believe in it anymore so why should we?

Perisic has 5 assists for Spurs this season and most of those have been from set plays.

Conte preferred Sessegnon to Perisic, in the biggest home game of the season, despite all the evidence pointing to Sessegnon being inadequate.

I find that one decision sufficient to suggest that Conte either wants the sack or deserves the sack.

I looked at that Woolwich 11, set up in a 4-3-3, and I invite anyone to explain to me how that game wouldn't have been a lot closer if Spurs had simply matched up to them tactically and picked 3 in midfield rather than 3 at the back?

Conte will not alter it even when it is clear that the tactics are causing Spurs problems.

Perisic not starting that game set Spurs up to fail.

I don't want Conte's tactics after today.

If Conte will not change the tactics then Levy needs to change Conte.

My view is not based exclusively on what happened today.

It's been a dreadful watch all season and it isn't Tottenham.

I want Lloris out.

I want Conte out.

I want ENIC out.

In that order would be nice.
 
I know Poch would be seen as a backward step but at least we'd go back to enjoying football, which is what's about at the end of the day.

Don't know what Conte's problem is but just can't bear to see him at the club anymore.
