Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

And what are we gonna do about the same group of players who have played the same since the end of the Poch reign?
He's had 8 new players and also Hojbjerg, Gil Emerson werent here under Poch. A lot arent good enough and need to go but why do the likes of Brighton and Fulham play better football than us, hardly packed with superstars. You would have hoped a coach on £15m a year could make a team look better than the sum of its parts.
 
Conte has succeeded everywhere he been. Everywhere.

I’m as unhappy as everyone else with the recent performance but if flipping the manager every 18 months will get us nothing. We’ve tried quick fixes. They have not and will not work. I trust Conte more with the project than anyone we could realistically bring in.

Conte is a quick fix. He is not going to be here for a project.
 
Here we go again! Let’s get rid of another manager, bring in sub standard players at highish prices and go again, all whilst Levy and ENIC continue to oversee this shit show! It starts from the top and unfortunately it looks like we will never get anywhere in terms of success under these owners but let’s continue to do the same things 🤷🏼‍♂️
 
t if flipping the manager every 18 months will get us nothing.
doesn't seem to be a problem for Chelsea...

We’ve tried quick fixes.
Yeah, the wrong "quick fixes".
They have not and will not work.
No, they won't especially when they were identified by oh so many as wrong from the start.
I trust Conte more with the project than anyone we could realistically bring in.
really? You trust the guy that has spent lest than 3 years everywhere for a "project"...even when your own damn eyes are bleeding from the football?
 
I find it infuriating how he is sending us out at the start of games. The last three games once we are chasing the game we can be a fucking good threatening side when we up our tempo and play with intent and impose ourselves. Start fucking send them out there like that at the start of games please ffs.

He has literally said in an interview that's not how he intends for them to play first half, the players are just nervous. It's a mentality thing.
 
There's nothing wrong with Conte FFS, we need upgrades on the likes of Dier, Davies, Sessegnon, Emerson etc etc.

If he wants to stay here, we should sign him up and back him. More Bentancur and Kulusevski calibre signings and he will have us playing how he really wants, a proper team.
 
I think he was talking about defensive playing style and how they snatched the victory despite of that. Always funny to read "Italian team" in that sense btw, as I don't think we use "English team" to indicate hoof-and-run football quite as much
True. But many times there is confusion. The game of Klopp's Liverpool today was played by Lippi's Juventus at the end of the 90s. Or if we think of Sacchi's Milan.
Even today's Premier League football is different from that of the 90s: in Italy there was talk of English football to indicate the long ball to the header and fierce scrum situations.
