Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

How come Stelinni picked Danjuma in the cup the day he arrived and Conte hasn't since then says he's a club signing?

Used to think Conte was picking teams for Stelinni, now not so sure.

How come Comte never played Spence?

Why is there this idea that Conte and Paratici like working together? Seems more and more likely that Levy wanted Conte the most and the two of them are very similar.
 
Because his options are waaaaaaaaank.

There's a case for him being a prick for continuing to persevere with Son all season, but no sane manager is going to play Skipp or Sarr next to Bentancur and he clearly doesn't trust Bissouma.

Bissouma was one of the best midfielders in the Prem last season...in fact you said this about Bissouma before we signed him?

We should be all over Bissouma

So what he's not good enough now is he?

And Skipp is clearly good enough as he was one of our better players last season before he got injured last season and he was playing next to Hojbjerg and as demonstrated in the last few weeks again he's been one of our better players.

I dont know what's wrong with Sarr either...?

Lame excuses really, he has had the options.

Skipp had a serious injury and he admitted recently his recovery took longer than he expected plus his match sharpness. He had to be eased back with sub appearances.
Bissouma was injured when we got him then took longer to adapt to our system than Conte liked. He only just started to show signs of being a choice then his latest injury happened.
Spence wasn't and isn't ready.
Danjuma obviously may not be impressing in training.
It's not cut and dried that Conte just doesn't pick players out of stubbornness IMO.

He's a man who likes to make a point, even at the expense of a player's career.

I think the point here is that he could and should have made better use out of the team

You can't blame the system floundering when you have better players that Hojbjerg sitting on your bench, yes there have been mitigating circumstances with injuries and what not but he's ran Hojbjerg into the ground and has only used Skipp and Sarr due to necessity.
 
Hard to know what's going on. If the sacking isn't complicated (it may well be) then the Board are probably taking the int. break to find the next permanent manager. You'd hope they learned from the desperate state they were in before and after Nuno. I mean, they probably haven't but you never know.

yeah i assume they're just taking their time now there's a big break.

Is there even anyone at the club training ground that a new guy could work with anyway. Just academey players, Skipp and lenglet?
