Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’d suggest that Conte improved the players last season with his coaching and tactical ability. Got us into fourth where we needed to be.
We’ve improved the squad over the last two windows and if he keeps up his record of improving the players, basically proving to everyone he is as good as he thinks he is, there’s no reason we can’t be looking at at least 10% more points than we had last season.
Repeat the next season and the one after (three / four more windows) and it’s open top bus time.

At the moment we need to improve the shot making ability, and not keep aiming for the posts and bar in this game!

I don't think it's as deep as people are making it, the reason why it looks shit is because we have a lack of technicians, like any formation and tactic the style of play is fine if you have the technicians, we don't or we do but they haven't played yet, even if we 'front foot' like we did under Poch, how many times did we look turgid because we didn't have the technicians to pull off what he wanted.

Peak Conte ball looks like this, we're not doing that with a back line of Sanchez, Emerson, Davies...The two outside backs in a sense need to be playmakers and comfortable on the ball.



Romero and Lenglet will completely change this by the way.

He listened :contethumb:
 
I was not sure where to put this comment, is it the players or Conte ?
not sure its down to just Conte as I maoned about the same type of thing under Harry (so maybe its down to most coaches)
when you watch us it doesn't matter if its CH's, WB's or CM when they recieve the ball they look to play it backwards, when you watch Man City the CH's,WB's,CM all play forward 9/10 times
yes they are better players around the pitch,
our forwards are as good/better than most so once our CM or WB's get the ball they should be ready to push it on to the forwards
maybe its a lack of vision from the players or its just they don't look before recieving the ball

its a question, I'm looking for others thoughts on why we (and most teams) do this, even under Harry I remember the comments about backwards passing
is it just about being safe ?, and Pep want his players to take chances ?
 
I'd like to know what are the mistakes we made on the market, since conte is arrived.
in every press conference he said that we can't make mistakes.
he also can't make mistakes, like do not reach the last16 in UCL.
ok?
