I understand Emerson. He is a better defender than attacker, but tries to run forward and just doesnt have it in his locker to beat a man. Ita not his game and its clear he will have to leave in summer somwhere with a flat 4 - for our and his own good. But with Reguillon I don't know why he just doesnt seem to be able to produce attacking impulses. He does have the pace to attack.

At least we probably don't have to worry about Conte winning manager of the month and getting the curse for the 5 important games next month!
No Plan B in the end today. Potter Masterclass

Terrible performance by the players in the end. Conte could’ve changed things but the players are to blame in the end.
Some of you will probably want to section me for this, but hear me out.
This game emphasized how important Conte is to this current Tottenham squad and raised his stock even higher for me. But it also showed some of his drawbacks.
Conte had Covid this week and has not been able to train and drill our team like he has for the past few weeks. This performance looked more like when we were playing 3 games a week and there wasn't much time for coaching.
To me this game just shows how much extra Conte can get from this squad of players when he is healthy enough to coach them. The results of the 7 PL games before Brighton (6W 1L) would just not be possible with a non-elite manger with the squad we have.
However, this game also showed the drawbacks of Conte's ridged philosophy and substitution approach. Even when it was clear that we were not on top, because of the way Conte coaches we don't really have a plan B so our substitutes can be very like for like, which makes it more difficult to turn the game around.
We need a good summer window if we want to do things next year, particularly competing in Europe giving us less time for Conte to train players as much above their normal ability.

But maybe this was all part of his master plan...
:contefacepalm2:
He hadn't been able to coach us so, knowing manager of the month is a curse, he told the players to conserve their energy and use it as a training exercise so he can win every other game this month without winning MotM
:contefacepalm2:
ConteBall has world wonderfully recently but was absolute dross today. Take off Royal who offers nothing and switch to a 4 man BL would’ve def helped. Regardless of the spurs players peformance
If only Conte was as good a football coach as you.
Well he can’t take out Kane because it’s in Kane’s contract that he plays until Kane himself says so…
so you think bringing on little harry winks is the way to go do you? youd have done the same after watching spurs the last few years would you...
See the bench.
It's got fuck all to do with what I think.so you think bringing on little harry winks is the way to go do you? youd have done the same after watching spurs the last few years would you...
Spurs are paying a coach/manager millions a year to decide these things. But obviously you know better than him. why don't you try and get in touch with Conte, and tell him where he's going wrong
you realise this is a spurs forum you plonker?
6th minute*
Correct.
*he tried to finesse the situation by getting Winks to drift wide and pick up the ball from Romero, pushing Emerson right up, to try and 'jump start' that side.
Just an awful. clunky fix.
It just added more potential hazard (winks) without dealing with the primary defective component (emerson).
Bit surprised by Conte, today, tbh.
Back when we lose? Missing during the 5 wins out of 6 with shitloads of goals scored. You aint spurs
Oh dear. The newbie slinging “you ain’t spurs”. cunt personified in the end. Cheers
