He didn't really have anything special about him. We have too many of those.
Genuinely wish this one would stop fucking talking he's an even bigger politician than Conte. If he played as good a game as he talked it (him and Eric Dier) he be keeping Modric out the Madrid team. God I want them gone!‘He has to elaborate’: Højbjerg seeks more clarity from Conte after outburst
Antonio Conte set to depart as Højbjerg laments lack of communication
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg says he wishes that Antonio Conte had been more open and ‘precise’ in his communication with the Tottenham squadwww.theguardian.com
Yes exactly that is what conte wants to do. Divide and conquer. It’s so obvious what his playing at. The other week it was the fabs, previously digs at the club , AC Milan history implying we are nothing compared to them and this the owners. It’s anyone who manages to catch his eye that week will be in the firing line. I reckon he looks a bit thick but is actually very calculated.
Note we didn’t bother the scorers in any of those cup games we lost. Just imagine that 4 games and barely a chance created. He did nothing to change things in any of those games really!
He was spot on with his criticism of the owners though.
Surely there is better more experienced managers available?
How the fuck would we know if they don’t see the pitch?
That’s down to levy & his views. He got Jose to win us a trophy then sacked Him before the final. So he is unpredictable & hard to second guess. None of us have an agreed reason for this that makes a lot of sense.
Baseball is a fucking shit sport.
Well I don’t know what to say as I said Jose would need to be heavily backed which levy doesn’t do so it won’t work out. You say it can only be in hindsight even if people say it before it occurs.
What if....
We are slipping back in to soft Tottenham aren’t we.
Hold his record in the cups is terrible. Knocked out twice to champo teams one of which made 8 changes. We still had richo, son and Lucas up front. By the end of the game we’re at full strength yet couldn’t muster one decent chance really. His whole setup is wrong. Basically do nothing for 60 mins. However v SU they sussed were no threat and ran a bit faste mr than we did. Yet conte made subs, tactical switches or fire them up from the touch line. How can it be that his been out down twice in a row in the fa cup?
It’s amazing how kompany has gone to Burnley and changed them to playing a more attacking game virtually right from the off. Many managers can come in and get the team setup to how they want. Conte has had plenty of time to implement even a half decent football style but his failed miserably. Also you need a manager to big up the team, come out say things like “we are gonna give it a go” etc ie be positive. However Conte never talks like that he makes out every team is world beaters and his basically telling our player we are gonna struggle to beat this team. He needed to show more positivity and show more confidence in the team / squad. Yet by his selections and subs you knew he only wanted to play certain individuals. Which I’m then sure the other players would have picked up on.
Suspected him for a while to be one of those players who pretended good but do completely the opposite. I wish he’ll be put back in his place, on the bench where he deserves.Hojbjerg calls on Conte to 'elaborate' on player accusations

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will wait for manager Antonio Conte to 'elaborate' on comments made during his astonishing 10-minute rant following Tottenham's limp draw against Southampton on Saturday before passing judgement.
The Danish player started at St Mary's during Saturday's match, and as such found himself in the firing line as his manager lambasted his players and offered a damning indictment on the club as a whole.
Along with questioning the professionalism of his players, and suggesting they too often received 'excuses' for poor performances, Conte said that 'Tottenham's story' was an unwillingness to 'play under pressure', something that was responsible for their 'twenty years' without a trophy.
PEH is crap.
