Lets say that is true.... That still doesn't transpose to the same assertion you made about Son & PEH.
The players not only turned up they followed their managers instructions - it was 100% tactical
Just look at Porto’s efforts against inter, like us they went out 1-0 on aggregate drawing the 2nd home leg 0-0 but they had a proper go peppering the inter goal and desperately unlucky to go out - what do we do? 2 shots on target in 180 minutes - with 12 minutes left needing a goal to stay in the competition we take off an attacker for a CB - 100% tactical and on conte
They did it under the last coach and will do it under the next coach eventually. Top players don’t need a manager to motivate them for CL games.
This squad needs to be purged of the weak, mediocre footballers who still start week in, week out. I don’t need to name names. Most know who I mean.
I disagree mate. The players we put on against Sheff Utd were more than enough to beat them. Remember when we used to say our reserves should take those opportunities to push for a first team spot? It seems they are fine with the reserve status whilst taking their paychecks.
Against Milan I still think it was a narrow loss against a good team. Maybe we should have won but people act as if we’re miles better than Milan.
These same stale faces who are purported to be dragging the club down managed to get to a CL final so evidently they're not entirely un-motivated by the prospect of CL knockout games.......
They had been in a dreadful form in the league for some time and mostly poor-to-mediocre throughout their CL run too.
Yet Conte insisted that they were miles better than us.......... That we shouldn't be expected to compete with them.
Many of that team have declined or left since, that was our little last hurrah.
......But the old guard are the ones that stand accused of bringing the negative baggage..... You yourself said that even Kane should be part of the proverbial clean slate
One is still left wondering who the "selfish" players are....... Sadly, I doubt Conte will have took time to empart this 'information' upon Levy in their crunch talks.
If I remember correctly, Conte said something like Milan have more experience and history in this competition than us which is correct, remember how we crashed against Juventus a few years ago after we dominated them. I don’t think Juventus were better than us at that point, but they were more experienced and knew how to play it out. Probably not the best example, but you get the point.
If their current manager can get them to channel the spirit of Maldini, why can't Conte get us to channel the spirit of our past heroes?
He claimed that Spurs "never" compete for titles or trophies and implied that beating AC was beyond us...... The hard fact of the matter is I have experienced all those things in the not too distant past.
(FWIW; I still think his utterly piss weak comments reflecting on our shit triple-fail week of Sheff/Wolves/Milan were worse than his meltdown after the S"oton game......... My only major grievance on Saturday was that it was not in the name of the club; just self-preservation and blatant call to be sacked.)
I get your point; but there's a big difference between knocking a top end Juve to the canvas only to still lose the fight on a points decision and the limp affair that was our tie against a mediocre-at-best AC team.
"Nutmegged by Borat, you got nutmegged by Borat...."PEH played 90 mins against Kazakhstan and Denmark lost 3-2 after being 2up for most of the game. Familiar
How did PEH play ? Was he at fault for the loss ?
No he was perfect it's always everyone else fault between him and Eric Dier they can always point you to where the problem lies. Keep playing this actor for another half dozen managers because something about never injured. Eventually even the really thick ones will wake up to him, but my guess is the Danish FA realises sooner than our mugs...
The story of Hojbjerg
On the third goal for Kazakhstan he literally picks no one up. He tracks players like shit then sort of waves a foot whilst turning his body least they make contact with him...its risible
Wank again tonight. He can’t fucking pass

Getting closer and closer to Winks as the season carries on.
He can occasionally, he just can’t take the ball on the turn, hasn’t got quick feet and is a cart horse off the ball. our midfield has the feeling of mid nineties about it.
