Offering another Neutral's perspective because I am thoroughly annoyed by the sheer patronising tone of the Barca lad.
I like Conte and I think he is one of the top 5 managers in the world right now. He will give every player a chance like Klopp did when he joined us and there'll be more than a few nights like this. I remember when Newcastle thumped us in one of Klopp's early games. Players will look tired and run out of gas late game because they havent had a tough pre season.
The current tottenham team is probably nearly as bad as the Liverpool team that he took over with a couple bright spots. This will take more than a couple seasons to improve because you cannot replace 7 starting XI players in one window.
There are a few more things that are positive for Spurs in that now they have a DoF so they are unlikely to buy players that Conte doesnt want. Edwards was promoted to DoF and transfer camaraderie improved significantly there.
The biggest challenge will be dependant on Paratici's ability to get the quality Conte expects within the budget constraints and with Conte being able to dictate the players that need to go out. It is far too important to clear out poor influences early in the regime and we had a lot of deadwood gone in the first summer including Allen, Benteke, Toure, Skrtel and Balotelli. Except Benteke, the rest sold for nothing. Levy MUST be prepared to take that hit because otherwise they cannot move on and that is not something a manager will compromise on. We couldnt sell Sakho but he was removed from the squad for his ill discipline and poor training. Conte will probably want Alli gone if he truly is a lazy trainer.
More than anything, the fans will need to be patient because this will be a long process and given the league level is much higher than 2015, it'll take time and there'll be runs of bad results/performances where he'll need backing. Managers like Conte that have this genuine enthusiasm and coaching nous for the sport are very rare and I hope he gets the support he deserves. I like Tottenham as a team and opponent and I'd have them getting some success over any of the other so-called big 6 rivals for us but remembering how it was for us when it began, I can only say that patience will be key in everything and the moment that runs out in any one facet, the thing will collapse.

Antonio Conte threatens to wield axe on Tottenham flops after Levy backing

Tottenham suffered a humiliating Europa Conference League defeat to NS Mura on Thursday and with 18 signings in five windows, Antonio Conte is ready to have another shake-up in January

www.mirror.co.uk

Speaking ahead of Sunday's trip to Burnley, Conte said: “We want to grow and compete with other great English clubs. But today there is a gap between the investments made by the owners and the sporting results. We have to fill it.

“We need players with the right mentality and with the quality, players that deserve to play for Tottenham and aspire to be competitive, to fight for this shirt, to win something.

“I’m making my evaluations and then I’ll speak with the club.”

“The chairman has shown me that he wants me at all costs,” Conte added. “In his words and in the investments made, I saw a vision: the desire to excel.

“I said to myself: ‘If we combine this ability off the pitch with what I can give on the pitch, we can really set up a serious and profound job.’

That last paragraph has rightly or wrongly, given me a ray of hope.

If the players are right, it is even more than enough.

I would say 4 players, if they would be
Quality CB
Quality passing CM
Quality AM
Quality striker

This would absolutely do wonders for us. I like Skipp and PEH, but we don't progress the ball fast enough and decisevly enough through the middle. Put there capable AM in Eriksen mould and capable CM in Kroos mould and everything about our team and play would be different.

I am not saying we would jump up to Liverpool level - no, it is not enough for that. But it would make us play significantly better.

We are not busy 4x quality first team players in Jan

Levycunt will spin his usual lies usual - watch it

Excellent thoughts. I hope Levy reads this.

 

[sammyspurs]

Absolutely brilliant comments
Nailed the mentality and quality issues, plus talks about investment.

Most importantly “players that deserve to play for this shirt”

Bra- fucking - vo

This is the manager we needed and the only manager for this club. Forget the rest, this was the only fix, no other manager is going to say these things in public, you can only imagine the scenes in Levys office right now.

A clear message to anyone who thinks everyone deserves a clean slate and that the likes of Dele, Winks and Davies can be resurrected

The game is up, the writings on the wall, the people who don’t want to be here won’t be here and those with out the quality, mentality or both can do one

This is the best thing I’ve read from anyone at this club, ever.

We have a manager who will fix this.
Or walk. And if he walks due to Levy, ENIC are done.

Win win

I think it’s too easy to say the players are crapnhaving spent so much money on them.
From Conte”s quote to me his saying:
1) the club have spent money
2) that money may or may not have been spent well
3) for the money spent the results haven’t matched

We certainly should have beaten NS with that starting 11. So now it comes down to following I believe:
1) Conte has to improve these players in the attributes his already mentioned
2) he has to show he couch a style of play that’s suits are players
3) we have to be a bit more tactically smarter and this for Conte to implement.
4) conte has to bring something to the table as well and not just his CV
5) before buying we will need to sell and re-invest with May additional funds provivded by baldy
6) it can’t all be about just throwing money at the problem. Lots of teams have done that and failed. The couch has to implement a style of play first then bring in players to fit that as well as work with those already at the club.
7) it’s a two way thing Conte has to rise to the challenge and the club need to back him

We / He can’t just bleat every time we lose that we need wholesale changes that ain’t gonna happen. He needs to prove he can couch. For example would potter moan about lack of investment or would he get on with the job of couching players to the best of their abilities and implement a style of play suitable for said players?
Also think the 5 at the back ain’t gonna work with our shite defenders and CM players.

He's not in the top 10 of my 'unwanted' list. I'd rather see the back of people who just repost their pre-rehearsed agenda ad nauseum, multiple times per day.

And no, I'm not naming names.

Totally agree. Conte has completely blown the doors open with those comments. He’s talking like us fans have been talking for years. There is no where to hide for Levy now. Conte doesn’t get the investment, he walks and the fans completely turn on Levy once and for all, no forgiveness. He gets this right, we finally see success on the pitch with a brilliant manager. I love

Conte

If it’s any good, can you post the interview please?

Edit: don't worry, I have found it.

Conte talks big spending, Paratici, Levy and leaving Spurs as a better club

The Tottenham Hotspur boss has done a big interview for the Italian media and he went deep into how he works and what he will bring to the club
