We only see them on match days for 90 minutes at a time; he sees them day in day out, sees how they react to good times, sees how they react to difficulty. If anything Conte is confirming what some of us already knew.

That’s very true and very fair. It is easy to pick ‘em off and forget about the good.
But it’s being consistent that ultimately is necessary at the top level.
I agree. The squad never recovered from the CL final. It should have been broken up, but we've just kept trying squeeze blood from the stone.
Then you're being MASSIVELY blinkered.
Frankly I think that’s lazy and just a headline grabbing excuse from Conte. I don’t think we lost today because of selfish players, I think they worked hard, we just had diabolical defending and decision making.
I think plenty of them are just not good enough but I think Conte is choosing this approach because if he says they’re not good enough then he has to answer for the fact that he said he was happy with the squad after the summer window.
He bought them!......I think... maybe
Pot............................. Kettle
Just got back from the game.
Here's my tuppence worth:
I've never been pro Conte, this concept that he's an elite manager has never really worked with me. However, since he has been our manager I've wanted him to succeed because I support the club and the manager is central part of that.
He's a psychopath and the tactics are everything I expected from him.
One thing I have been waiting for since we appointed him has now been delivered. The comments about Levy, the club and the players is what I just wanted him to do. I'm glad he's done it and it's in the open. Those at fault don't get near enough stick in the public eye, we as fans know the problem but it's kept under wraps and the problems continue. The world needs to know it and Conte was always going to be the man to say what he thinks, without a filter. I'm glad he's done it. He's sealed his fate by doing so, but he doesn't care.
So for me he had delivered the one thing which I wanted him to.
Where we go from here now, I genuinely have no idea.
For yet another season I'm already looking forward to the summer and not watching us for a few months. It shouldn't be like this.

Let’s be honest , his rantings are more entertaining than his football
They were the SheffU B-team!!!
I told you all! I told you! This was back when he was appointed. Sure, he has been here longer than I had predicted but my point still stands.
You all gave me so much stick too.
Hiring ex-Chavski managers is not the Spurs Way. Should never have been, never will be.
It’s a daft argument because about to be added to this list at the end of the season is none other than one and only Tanguy Ndombele. Because he keeps getting on for the last 10 minutes of games for Napoli he will collect a Serie a winners medal when Napoli win the title. He’s a winner as many pundits like to say.
Just watched the whole thing, and I can say, without a flicker of doubt, that I have fallen deeply in love with this man.
Whatever happens, from here.... you will always be in my heart, Rantonio.
That's been due at Shinehead's door for a loooong, long time.
Knock knock mother fucker.

Cos I think there's problems in all quarters?
Well he isn't wrong you know
A lot of foreign fans underestimate the standard of football in the lower leagues. Dier can’t tackle, he’s a passive centre back and would get bullied. Sanchez is just a mess, physically top drawer but all over the place
Whatever you say.

He's right in that we've gotten used to failure. For me, the blame doesn't just lie with Levy. We need a clearout. Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Kane, Son, Lloris all need to go. Only Son and Kane are good enough but they've got the stink of loser on them.
Kane isn't a low effort/quality, inconsistent player but he is selfish, very selfish. For me the free kick situation has become a window into what kind of person he is.
We need the energy that Romero, Porro, Skipp and others bring to the team.

Nope. Nothing to do with Ndombele. Those are all players who contributed to titles.
I suppose you advocate Danny Boy going then as well as Conte.
