Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

There’s nobody else to play there?

Sessegnon is coming back from injury and is weak and Regullion is also injured. It’s shit having to play him there but unless we Chuck a youth player in then there’s no other option. (I don’t want to put Gil there and ruin him as it’s not his position and unfair on him to play him there).
Play a back 4 then ? He did end up doing that halfway through the first leg and we improved a lot. Why not just do that from the start if players for a back 5 are injured instead of making doherty play on the wrong side (where he was never going to be good). Its self sabotage.
 
Well Parawanki for a start.

Mind you, I'd much rather have a 12 year old Twitter kid as our DOF anyway.

Well no it was hinted in the media but if you take a step back its obvious that those kind of deal don't happen mid season.

By the way do you know how juvenile it makes you sound calling him Parawanki, literally sound like a 12 year old Twitter kid which probably explains why you fall for unrealistic rumours, set your expectations.
 
conte needs to stay calm in this moment: nobody ask him to win something this year;
nobody can take off all the deadwoods in a row
at the moment the most important thing is to finish in the first 4, to have this summer a different appeal for good players. to arrive in the first 4 we have to fight against Woolwich and west ham.
it can be done, with some optimism, enthusiasm, a lot of work and trust in these players, that realistically will remain until the end of the season (because nobody want them)

if there is the possibility to swap 1-2 players in this transfer market ok, otherwise head down, work and shut up

You do know that you are your little friend Airfixx are hated by Spurs fans because we can see through your bullshit and blustre.

And I'm sorry to insult your friend Paratici. Let me call him by his proper name "The fuckwit that shouldn't be near Spurs"

Happy now?

Funny how all these accounts that agree with each other all write in the same style, use the same tactics etc.

Almost like it was scripted or the same individual.
 
He obviously threw the match, no need for any science here, you don't drop your captain in a cup Semi when you're trying to win, just sends out the wrong message. His comments last week when he praised Chelsea and said that they're on a different level to us kind of confirmed this cup isn't a priorty to him.

Maybe he's prioritising for the NLD.
yup, when he says "we have to try and think about situations that are much more important than this. believe me"

That's pretty much confirming the focus is on the league and CL qualification. If we look like that's possible, then it's more likely to attract the type of player we need, and it also brings more revenue to pay for signings.

Maybe not, but Conte hates losing and is determined to win. Nobody is applying external pressure to him, but I'm afraid if he gets the idea Spurs aren't interested in challenging seriously he'll walk. And I won't blame him.

There's really only 3 option worth considering anyway (the bulk is injury related):

Hugo - Silly.
Sess - fragile player. >>> NLD?
Skipp - Not entirely convinced Conte loves him as much as we do (often subbed; didn't plat the last round), but >>> NLD?

I don't buy the 'shop window theory' the best of times; let alone in a cup semi. Ditto the 'sending a message theory'.......

in this moment to win something is impossible, he knows that and this fact can't be overturned in this transfer window. good players won't leave now, to land in a club that is 6th in the table. come on.
stop crying, we need some enthusiasm and all his strenght to improve things
he can reach the 4th place even with those players (only a back up striker is really necessary), united is a mess, Woolwich and west ham are not better than us
then in the summer, with the assurance of playing the next UCL, players like vlahovic, brozovic, kessie, dybala will be happy to join us and with them we could fight to win trophies

Look if you think the only thing our squad is missing is a backup striker then fair enough. I don't agree. We made such hard work of the Conference League which we should have gone through at a canter, the Morcambe match was horrific. We only started competing last night when Chelsea realised the tie was done and dusted and eased off. Our strongest 11 is decent but not great. Once we start losing players to injury or need a rotation then things fall apart.

We have a fantastic manager, he needs backed. He isn't here to coast towards retirement, he's here to win.
 
I'm just looking out for you considering you had a reputation on SC as a levy arse licker.
Just wanted you to not go the same way as we already have airfixx who fills that role nicely 😁👍

We also already have a plethora of barely literate depressives with a poor grasp of basic maths; so why not freshen your schtick up a bit......?

Yet I still want new owners for this club, funny that isn't it...however I'm not one to jump on the anti ENIC bandwagon just for the sake of it and just because all the nutjob 5G antivaxers are doing it.

If you're brain is unable to accept that people might have a different opinion to you and wish to express something contradictory to your line of thinking I would suggest you don't visit forums, try Twitter much more shouty, opinated and extreme and much more of an echo chamber which is presume is more the level of debate you can handle.

I like to engage in critical thinking and nuanced debates and approach shit with an open mind, far too complex for those who choose to continually throw their toys out the pram - sue me.

Furthermore how did this turn into a conversation about ME, leave me alone please and get back to debating about the club, cheers. 😜
