Yeah don't buy into it, it's just vague meaningless click bait crap.
Look, I don't doubt there are players that do not give everything all the time. Its visible on the pitch. But Conte has been SO unwilling to change the team and we have to ask why? Some players just can't get a look in, so those must be amongst those he speaks of right? SO is he saying that the entire squad is unwilling to try? We are still a top 6 Team and yet he has just publicly called out the entire group?
I can't help but take the view that this is more about sparing his own rep than actual truths. There is very little I can see showing us that Conte has shown to right the ship. Its all been said here by others, ie poor subs, late subs, stubborness in respect to tactics and formation, lack of rotation etc.etc.
Its just far too contradictory. We the fans must show patience to win yet we are losing in Cups to Lower level teams and yet somehow still sit in 4th in the PL. It reeks of an agenda and nothing more
It doesn't matter if what he said was true, it's an inappropriate place to do it unless he accepted and acknowledged his part. Had he immediately done this and resigned then fair play, but he did not.

Isn't De Vrij ageing and shit now too?

Lukaku & Kane up top in a 352 having had buyer's regret over Richarlison......???
I swear that we recruited with 352 in mind this summer (Rich, Bissouma being the two key signings + two less defensively minded WBs in Perisic & Spence.)
He also only plays well in a very niche role and Conte is one of the few top managers that use wing backs like him. Smacks of "please sign me at your next club" .
He said many months back that Conte was complicit in signing Spence.... That's not to say it's not club-derived, but it's not a new shout from AG.

He is worried we might get Simeone and then they appoint Conte.
I rate Bissouma, but it's a pretty superficial assessment to think he can do what Dembele could.....
They may be able to vaguely fit a similar function, but Dembele's ability to retain the ball is on a completely different level.... Meanwhile, one marauds; the other glided.
So here is a thought, if we somehow now manage to get Top 4 after sacking Conte, does it mean that VAR has given us top 4? I mean Conte wouldn't have been sacked had we got 3 points at the weekend as we would have been going into the break in 3rd! 
100%. Conte has provided utter dross to watch, and won naught for the trouble. ENIC/Levy is another issue all together, but the sooner Conte fucks off, the better.
Is that correct that we haven’t had a manager manage a full season since 2018-19?
I just heard it & thought that can’t be true , it’s such a merry go round it’s hard to remember

Mourinho has had success at Roma. Do you think it was a mistake sacking him ?GlastonSpur . I'll also have a £50 charity bet Conte wins a major trophy at his next club.
Would you like to put your money where your mouth is? For charity?
Which players can't get a look in that will actually make a difference? The squad is so average, we don't have talented individuals lining up to push the usual suspects selected.
There are no immediate game-changers gaining splinters, but there is a growing list of players that ought to be further on in their Spurs development....
Gil
Sarr
Rich
Bissouma
Spence
Danjuma
Hell, I even think Rodon could have been a more viable CB than Dav, Tanganga & Lenglet if we'd have handled him better.
Gil have been playing well with Sevilla. Just don't know if he fits in the PL.
