Exactly! His payed virtually the sane 11 all season. Never give any new players a go.

Manager Antonio Conte

He cares about winning, he wants to win, his whole career as a player and manager is about fight, mentality, will to win, desire, giving it everything.
He's sick of the players who don't feel the same way, he's not used to it, he doesn't get it and he's calling it out. I think he's right.
Don’t play for anything important? We had a last 16 CL gane with a poor AC side and he couldn’t beat them? Is that an important gane? What is an important gane to him? Hiscrecurd in Europe is atrocious! Knocked out by boro and SU in fa cup. Again isn’t that on him!
He could have won a lot more games even by reducing 1 player from the defense and increasing the number of midfielders by 1. But he became a victim of his stubbornness.
MOTD didn’t really show it either but still mercifully better without Jug Ears
Whether you want him to manage us or not, whether you like his formation and or selections , what he said was bang on. It needed to be aired, and seems he's not fussed about the consequences.
Personally, I think he speaks for the overwhelming majority of supporters.

He is the manager of the club, not just the first team.
This may seem like a technical point but why did he name 2 GKs on the bench for a UCL game?
Why did he pick two fewer substitutes than he is allowed on two occasions?
Because he couldn't be bothered with players he ain't gonna pick.
Why did he kick out Doc like he was a piece of shit?
Players are human beings and his man management skills are not exactly shining through.

Agree with that but the problems within the club will remain whether Mason is in charge or anyone else
The cancer within our club is Levy/Enic
They don’t really give a fuck about the footballing side and this has been passed on to our bottling spineless players!!
So have who you want as manager but it won’t make any difference and maybe Conte was right to make it public?

I'd have WAY more respect for his outburst if that was the case..... If it was to be what many have chosen to view it as; it needed to be a call to action, not a parting tantrum.
We didn't have bottle in 16/17?
Against City in the CL?
Away at Ajax?
That was the night I stopped pronouncing it as Age-ax
We all (I hope) want the football to be good and the ideal scenario is one which produces both winning and doing it in style.
You're dead right about parting company with your 'hard earned' and the VFM required in return but we will have to agree to disagree with regard to winning and losing, there is nothing ever false about choosing between them.
Totally! It’s easy to slag off the history and he uses that line to suit his narrative. However isnt he here to create his own history? Surely that’s why clubs change managers to bring in someone who can do better with either money or using their own coaching skills to improve players. He has not improved our style of play one iota. Yet he sits there and rants about everyone else. What has bought to the table for his £15M. Yr salary? Bloody being knocked of every cup competition his been in without even registering a goal I think. LC semi v chavs, boro, forest, SU and AC. Why doesnt he tell us how we have lost all those games without putting up and fight. It’s shocking record for someone with his rep. Pisses my boil this cunte is now basically gonna walk away without being held accountable for those shocking failures. His rant today could have been fine after any number of games this season. Villa at home, NLD , after any of those cup games. Yet he did nothing about it kept sane players, disregarded others and let some go. A prime arsehole who treats players that the club but let them know he didn’t want them! Ffs that is why we have a DOF who buys the players and the coach is meant to work with them and produce a winning team. Instead this cunt just says he didn’t want them and ignored them completely. Today he could have swapped kulu for danj. To at least keep our attacking shape and threat but no he goes ultra defensive. We drew the gane bcos of his cowardice tactics and bcos of his petty small mindedness ie ignoring danj.
His also a hypocrite that way he celerbrates when we s ore as if his masterminded it with his tactics yet then says the players are selfish. We’re there when they scored?
Spot on! Owners may be at fault but he has had 3 transfer windows Git a bunch of players in yet we look the most uncoached tean in the PL. that is on him.
For our club to win things in a self sufficient way we need our players to live and breathe the game, 24/7, 365 days a year. We have players who clock out at 1pm on training days ooh let’s play PlayStation. Lose a game and say oh well, onto the next one. No not onto the next one, fight with each other that you lost, get angry, stop making excuses. Fight or fuck off
A proper club with a bunch of proper losers. Get angry, fight not because you should but because you’re a fucking fighter. I’m sick of watching these slow passed balls, immobile brains, the pitter patter la di da telegraphed pass and move gormless horseshit. Hit the fucking ball with conviction, run with conviction, it’s a fucking war out there and our players seem more concerned with not muddying their kits. Be men for fuck sake, I doubt they feel any shame, just go home, take their kids bowling, a cosy Netflix to forget yet another failure. Fuck most off, they don’t deserve to wear the shirt.
Die for this club, you owe them that much. Look what the lot up the road have conjured up with very achievable targets, why? Because they’ve found heart. We are sloppy, cowardly, braindead and show no instinct or teeth. Pull it the fuck together Tottenham, it’s pretty pathetic to see from fully grown men.
Fucking fight!

I imagine he knows he's sacked after this game so he's gone all out attack to try and shift the rhetoric from us being shit because of his awful tactics and team selections to "it's the players/owners".
The reality is that both are true. His tactics have been shambolic. He is arrogant and unbearably stubborn in his approach to games. However, equally, he has a squad full of players who lack character or who simply do not give a fuck and a chairman who is a bumbling buffoon when it comes to footballing decisions and whose sole goal is profit through growth, not on-field success.
I'm glad he said what he said in public because it amps up the pressure on the players and the management for their failings. I hope that them being outed changes something for us moving forwards, but I doubt it.
