Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This’ll be popular right now … but just going to offer the tiniest of criticism

Anyone else think he could bring on subs earlier when the games are ‘won’

1 it gives the forwards mainly Lucas and bergy some football in the legs …. Bit of a problem when we aren’t competing outside the PL.

2 gives them a bit of confidence as well as match fitness… demonstrates a measure of trust in them

3 protects the legs of the three starters …. Freshness and injury


He must have his reasons but I can’t say i know what they are
 
agree about the subs once that 4th goal went in,
for me i would have got on davidson just to keep up match time in at some point Remero gets sent off
with only ELP games we need to keep subs happy as well
hopefully next season our second 11 with be better and keep us in the cups
 
notice yesterday we were playing zonal defence for the corners,
for me that appeared to suit the players better,
when we play man to man we seem our players seem to lose their man
must have been practicing all week as we seemed to play zonal well

Good point and this makes sense.

I do feel though because we're only playing once a week now there probably isn't the need for freshness and rotation. Plus the front 3 are playing so well at the moment it must be near on impossible to get them to come off the pitch.

There were times yesterday and previous games where you feel like Kane could have been bought off but I guess he just wants to play every second currently.
 
we got to a point where we couldn’t even have shots at goal. Honestly I thought we would have been 10th come end of season under Nuno.

Some of the fans where singing Levy out in the stadium, other fans where turning on one another, Conte has made people forget how toxic it was about to become. The dodgy manager search and ESL still in peoples minds, the club was going into a nasty place.

Conte saved Levy and arguably the fans mental health as well while fixing our players. The job he has done is crazy for such a short time. Shows just what a truly elite manager brings. It’s mental and it shows the manager has to be the main man at any football club. Not the players like at United or PSG.
We could easily have been Everton without the change.
That said, if we got it right in the first place, we could be pushing the top 2 harder than Chelsea have.
 
Honestly want us to give him a 5 year contract and let him turn us into title winners. Why not? He’s one of the best managers in the world. Look at the job he’s done already

Because Levy's gonna shaft him and he'll want to leave. No coach is gonna resign and walk away without the remainder of their contract.
I'd be surprised if he gets more than 3 years. Hopefully that comes this summer though rather than just extending his current 18 months deal.

Well Levy would be an absolute knob head to fuck this one up. He’s got an absolute gem here and with Paratice, Spurs have a chance for success again. Trophies. If Levy fucks this again honestly 🤬
 
You sound as though you're not fully expecting it to happen.
A man with a serious track record of failing to build on success.


Mate, i know more than anyone. But, surely he needs to learn? To be honest, he’s never had anyone like Conte. Even Mourinho is tame compared to Conte. Antonio will call the board out like he did before our great turn of form and Levy won’t be able to hide. Levy has no choice but to back him bud, it’s as simple as that.

Well to be fair we tried to get Conte in the summer but he didn’t want to come. The Kane saga was going on and no manager would want to deal with that. That’s why we ended up having to appoint that random hobo just to keep the seat warm for a few months.
