Why is possession based football progressive? Or even attacking?

We’ve played some of the best patterns of play I’ve seen in my life as a spurs fan under Conte. The winner vs City last season.

Possession tiky taky short pass football is anything but progressive or attacking to me. Can’t stand watching Woolwich or City. They just try to keep the ball and often do nothing with it. If they didn’t outspend everyone, they’d be shit, just look at Spain in the World Cup.

I get that - it’s personal preference. I would prefer to have the ball rather than see shitter teams take them game to us. I generally don’t enjoy watching us play to be honest

He hit a slow curler attempt. Then he took a through ball going towards doherty to get a long distance shot off. Doherty probably wouldn’t have done much better.

I saw nothing to suggest he was any better today. If he’s going to go for a long distance worldie every time we get near the box, he better make more than 1 every 5 games. Based on the amount of times he’s wasteful with the ball, his current return is not good enough.
 
Conte and Spurs looking more and more like a mismatch with every passing month.

An elite manager who needs clubs to show ambition to get what he wants and needs at a club that's not going to give him that.

At this rate, we're best off doing away with trying to lure in top class managers by reputation and signing someone with a track record of getting the best out of its team and hoping that we hit lightning in a bottle.

I have no idea why Levy has a hard on for managers like Jose or Conte. They only work with vast investment and don't play attractive football, they win you titles with elite players/squads (Jose not so much these days though).

We go shopping at Harrods paying Tesco prices. Nothing wrong with Tesco’s we just need managers suited like Potter or Poch or Ten Hag not managers that need world class players in every position.

The vision and the money is out of whack, if we ain’t dropping 300-400m then let’s be smart. Quite frankly unless we serious back Conte with elite CB’s, RWB and attackers this project isn’t going to have a happy ending.
