Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But Jan and Toby were elite passers compared to City and Liverpool’s centre backs, that’s a high benchmark

He’s passing the ball very well this season, I would find a spot for 3 or 4 Diers in our 11. Don’t let his previous shit form cloud your judgement

He hasn't been good this year though.

His passing is not good compared to City and Liverpools CBs right now so again that is an issue if it is supposedly something he does well.

He is flat out not a good player. That is based on last year, the year before and most importantly this season. He is not close to top 4 level.

He likes a moan, doesn’t he?

It feels like every other day he’s telling journo’s how hard the job is.

It’s getting a bit tedious.

This one was today’s instalment Antonio Conte on trying to change Tottenham on and off pitch - 'This is not easy'

He's reminding me of my dad to be honest.

He moans and moans and moans about how much he hates doing so and so. But he also refuses to delegate it to someone else because if he let someone else do it, it would not be "done right".

I read the article, none of that sounded like a moan, it sounded like he is trying to be honest about our situation.

Our fans seems to really dislike his honesty about the state of the club, instead preferring the faux positivity and "yes man" approach of many managers.

Conte does give mixed messages because he gets emotional at times but I do feel like he has had a consistent underlying message which is that this club isn't in a place to challenge for trophies and that we need huge changes at the club in terms of how we do business to be able to change that.

The fact that the club didn't give him any targets to achieve speaks volumes imo.

This summer is a huge test of the ownership and their intentions, one that I am not confident they will pass, we will see.
 
It's a good thing that Conte got rid of all the "bad apples" who didn't train well b/c now that we're out of every competition (w/ the exception of the-Top-4-race) and we only have one match per week, there's mostly just training now.

makes me want someone like potter tbh

good honest manager who plays good football

im praying conte works but if he leaves potter could be our next poch
This is going to sound terrible but I honestly just want someone that can speak English well enough to be able to explain what they mean and why they are doing what they are doing.

Perhaps it's by design but Mourinho was our only recent manager that spoke English at a relatively high-level.

Pochettino and Conte both speak English at an elementary-level and it's natural that a lack of clarity + confusion can cause negative feelings.
