Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

we're also conceding quite a few goals so far this season also, 10 conceded already in 8 games.

We conceded just 5 goals in the last 10 games at the end of last season. Guess that's a consequence of giving up possession to every team we face, sitting deep every game is always going to mean more pressure on the defense and keeper, and more chances to score from mistakes and lapses

I think we've been found out playing that 2 man midfield and teams are just putting us under more and more pressure, last season we were able to bypass midfield and were on a wave but this season teams are more prepared to press us high, if we don't get the ball to Kane then we struggle to advance up the pitch.

Which is why it's time to put the extra man in the middle and go with the 3, I don't think we should rid of the 3-4-3 totally but if we need to dominate then we need to go with a 3.

Funny thing is the 3-4-3 on Saturday was fine I think, against teams who will always overload the midfield and who are possession based playing the rope-a-dope tactic works and would have worked had our final ball been far better, teams like Brighton at home for example we should be playing 3.

Don't rate him at all. I really tried to.

Would happily sack him tomorrow and bring in Gallardo.

He deserves a full season to at least try and win us something.

But if he cant even win us the carabao cup with the best counter attacking team in the country, I wouldnt mind bringing in Gallardo. His contract expires in december.

5th place gets you champions league next season as well.
 
Bin votes and/or disagrees for any so called spurs supporter who wants Conte sacked.

And I fucking mean it!

All I'm asking is that he gets us a carabao cup. I said he deserves to see his contract out,which isnt the same as sacking him.

Maybe I'm asking for too much expecting an elite winner on 15 million a year to win something.

I dont see the point of appointing someone like him and then having no expectations for him.

Your first sentence suggests the first time you'd heard of Gallardo was 2 minutes ago.

It did make me laugh though. So thanks for that.

He turned down Barcelona only last year and Lionel Messi called him one of the best managers in the world you little sausage. Just the 11 major honours as manager. ''Random''.

"Major" honours?

Have we not tried an array of managers? We have had up and coming ones, serial winners, yet everyone achieves the same result.
Maybe the destiny of the club is that it doesn't deliver, some clubs are like that no matter what you do or employ, the same cycle of things remains the status quo.
 
The state of some "fans' here after one defeat saying one of the most successful managers in the world currently should be replaced by somebody who has never managed in Europe is shocking.

How is he more qualified than Conte to make us more successful exactly?

Why do some on here think that just because Conte is manager we should be winning every match and trophy going?

I get the concerns over playing style but FFS calm down and see where we are at the end of the season.
