Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Never wanted him and despise his football but ahve been preparing myself for another year of it because there are no clear alternatives. So, even if we're on a shitty ship it's still staying afloat and will eventually get us there or thereabouts.

But I do get tired of folks telling me I'm not seeing what my lying ass eyes are seeing every (mostly 1st halves of) game. It's wretched!!!!
Yes I know mate, but we know who those people are that try to quash distention.
Still the club are paying Conte and the players, to perform in one half only, so not bad money if you can get it.😄

Thing is these things shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. There is no reason why we can’t play better football with the players we have. Certainly we can be more aggressive playing with passion and pace. We are never gonna be a great passing team but at least play a sort of German style like Dortmund or a few other teams. We basically wave the white flag in most games. Then we actually just surrender and lie down against teams conte thinks have already beaten us. I do t want to spend shit loads on players who fit his style playing the sane shite.
 
So just saying people were adamant that Eddie Howe wouldn't have a clue or the experience to take a team to the top of the PL. Newcastle win today takes them third, their team isn't a sniff against ours on paper!! Plus they play decent attacking football and seem to have more passion in half their players!
 
So he's gonna risk Bentancur's hamstrings again.

Just start skipp and let Benta come off the bench. If he gets injured we're fucked.

Good point just watched their game. They play to a completely diff level to way we do. I wonder if the managers were swapped what sort of football and team contes Newcastle would play and what sort of football we’d play?

Yeah would be interesting. I always liked Howe. Open and honest and had his teams play attacking nice looking football. Would never go far at Bournemouth as he didn't have the squad or money. But even with a half decent Newcastle they are progressing well. This is before the Saudi blood money pours in and buys them what they want.
 
Average. We should be playing an attacking side against Liverpool to keep them on the back foot but none of our attacking players get time.

Royal over Spence every time. Black hole sess at wing back. 3 workhorse midfielders. Too late now cause only the defensive slogs get playing time.
 
I wish people would stop defending him or saying shit like “look at our players”.

As people above have pointed out. Our squad is significantly better than Newcastle’s, yet they play attacking, attractive, positive football under Howe and are on the up. We’re playing backwards, negative, boring, defensive football and it genuinely makes me want to turn off the TV and spend time with my family.

Part of a manager’s job is to get the best out of his squad. He is totally incapable of doing that. If they don’t align with his system perfectly, he’s stumped.

Damn right, clueless idiot..
 
He’s dining out a long time now on that one season at Chelsea 6 years ago when he inherited a title winning team from Mourinho.
 
cost us the game today with his fucking shit selection. two wingbacks that fucking killed us! looked a good side when he actually allowed the footballers to play. this liverpool side are fucking shit and we surrendered to them. embarrassing.

his obsession with emerson has cost us a lot of points already now. clearly a sympathy pick because hes paying his own money to improve. weak
 
I just feel so impotent because I can't go to hotspur way, grab him by his toupe and shake the stupid out of him.

Stupid cunt

The fact that this is your 1 takeaway from the game is totally bizarre.

We were not boring today, our attacking play wasn't the problem.
 
His obsession with Royal is incredibly frustrating, although I could see why he started him today, Royal is usually decent in defense. But today wasn’t even on Conte, we had a plan and we were fucked by lack of luck and that donkey Dier costing us another goal.

Kulusevski back should give us a boost too, I just hope Doherty makes that RWB spot his and we finally fuck Royal off to the bench.
