Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Genuine question: Is it Conte or Levy ordering the starting XI? At this point I am not even sure. We've continued to start Son and Lloris over and over when its obvious they are bang out of form for MONTHS, not a game or two.

Add this to the ongoing list of Royal earlier this year, Dier with Mourinho, Son with past managers, Dele with Mourinho, Kane being rode into the ground for years, Eriksen became a mainstay when he was out of form before his departure.

I'm beginning to think that higher ups are telling the manager that the star (or high profile) players are undroppable...it's been going on since Poch days.

One of the biggest breaths of fresh air with Poch was in the early days, he had a ruthless nature about him. No one was safe from an axe. He cleaned house and built a squad that had competition. After a couple years, that competition faded into a pretty set XI, and it was a damn good XI. Until it wasn't and we kept persisting with it. Now, manager after manager, we just throw the same shit players making the same shit mistakes on the pitch and expect different results.

BTW, I know everyone is desperate to blame Levy and exonerate Conte, but no. Sometimes it is the manager to blame.

It's Tim Sherwood levels of individual mistakes every single game now. It's obvious something isn't right. As we knew back then.

Yeah the mistakes speak of something more than just poor form and players. We've not been good all season but there was a bit of fight in us pre world cup. Thats gone, just seems an apathy a grim acceptance that we're not very good. That comes from Conte imo he's switched off and the players know it.

How many times did Bastoni have to say no? There's only so much Levy can do. He's not the only fucking CB in the world

I never said we needed Bastoni. I'm sure we can find a CB that is better than freaking Dier (who is not even a real CB). Didn't we miss out on de Vrij, Kim minjae, Josko Gvardiol, Pau Torres, Marc Guehi, Gleison Bremer etc... we got 0!

Cough Cough Leng...let...... is what we ended up with...................

He has to try something different.

Forster
Romero Dier Davies
Kulusevski Bentancur Bissouma PEH Perisic
Kane Richarlison

Find some way to get the wide players up the pitch. That's how Inter won.

None of our midfielders have it in them to run the play the way his Inter team did. He had Brozovic, Barella and Eriksen. Our lads are decent players but nothing like the three mentioned. Bastoni at lcb had superb control and tempo, we have Ben Davies. And passing the ball back to our gk is dancing with fire. He needs 2/3 new starters or things could get ugly.
 
Time for us to part ways. This squad needs major surgery and his contract problems are proving to be a convenient excuse to not do any business this window. Get the new man in now, get the honeymoon, "clean-slate" period out of the way the second half of the season, and move on from these piles of shit once and for all.

The players are fucking weak. Played well in the first half so you wouldn’t have said this then? As soon as they conceded the heads dropped. Exactly like the cunts used to do during AVB/Sherwood. Took Poch 3 years to ship out those shit ass players.

I want to see 3 years of Conte with a squad capable of executing his gameplan/s, whilst not making novice errors.

If Levy is not willing to do this and has brought him here to con him, and us *AGAIN*, then that bald fuck needs to gtfo immediately.

Not having it, anymore.

Not spending one more cent on this club until he fucks off.

Conte knew his job.

Always short term.

Sell season tickets off the back of rumour and supposition regarding the ambition of the club.

Levy has repeated the Jose smoke and mirrors with Conte.

Both of them were window dressing to create the illusion of ambition.

Season ticket holders have had their pants pulled down for 4 consecutive seasons while Son and Kane have wasted the best years of their careers.

Criminal fraud in plain site.

Levy should be arrested.

Nah mate, these players are beyond hopeless. This is fucking outrageous. We’re fucking done here, fuck this dogshit team. Sell them all I’m done with this shit

This is glaringly obvious to anyone watching us.

Hoj is a solid player for your squad and understands football so good for players around him but we signed Bentancur and Bissouma for a reason.

Conte is the one picking the team.
