Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What are you laughing at. I could quite easily laugh at you laughing at your self. We have a better team than man united. We can finish above them. We have some huge games coming up. I would fancy our chances against united, Liverpool and Newcastle as we raise our game for the big games. Did you not see the recent city and chelsea games. I actually am more nervous about playing the likes of Everton as we do get a little complacent. Laugh at yourself.

I don't think Michael Jordan is posting on TFC mate.
 
Conte had to go. No one criticises my beloved club and gets away with it. Breaks my heart that he upset our players. I saw rumours of us linked to Harry Redknapp. I say get him in for the last few months to secure top 3 and then de zerbi in the summer. Redknapp loves spurs and we love him. It would lift everyone. He is a brilliant manager and person. Love him.
Redknapp loves us?
The same Redknapp who effectively gave up working for us because he assumed he was the next England manager? And, after dropping from 2nd to 4th and losing out on CL football because of it. walzted into Levy's office and wanted a payrise?
That Redknapp?
Assuming it is that, Redknapp, he hasn't had a job for 6 years. What former players is he gonna bring back? Because we all know that's his only line for scouting and recruitment.
 
Rubbish.

Biss isn't "wank"
Skipp isn't "wank"
Sarr is young and raw, but not "wank".
Biss isn't wank, no. Well, he wasn't at Brighton - he's also injured right now.

Skipp has heart and Sarr has potential. Tell me, do Sarr and Skipp start for any other top six team? Right now?

That's why Hoijberg starts.

They may not be shit per se, but they aren't stand out starters for top teams. Ergo he has wank options.
 
Hardly any of them can play in a fucking 3 either!

What's the point in playing 3 shitcunts when we ship a ton of goals anyway, might as well just play 2 of them and utilise an extra player further up the pitch so we could at least have given opposition more to worry about...
I mean I think even Conte knows they're shite and can barely play in a 3 thus the need for 2 protective dm's.

Absolutely he's very stubborn but I'd stick with the 3 until we shift out the non defending defenders.

Hmm

De Gea is probably better than Lloris and Forster
Shaw is better than any of our LB options
Martinez is better than any of our LCB options
Verane may have a case for being better than Romero
Fernandes and Rashford better than Son and Kulu/Richie right now
Can't say any of our CM players are better than Casemiero
Pretty much leaves a RB and Kane that may get into their team.

They also have a coach.

So not sure how you think we have a better team than them.

Because people are utterly delusional about the level of our players. Most of them aren’t rated outside of Spurs.

Just because he wanted the England role does not mean he does not love us. I actually was behind him going for it and it actually made us look good as our manager was in line for the England job. I am thinking of the now for a manager. Think of the spirit it will give the players. I feel so sorry for our players having to deal with what has been going on. It is the mental health that is suffering of some of them with what conte has said. These players don't just play for my club, they are celebrities, they inspire us and make us happy. If they are happy then we are. The players will all love him. I would even think about giving Tim sherwood a shot. This is just for 3 months. That new manager bounce. Then we get de zerbi in. We need someone in who loves the club. Poch is never an option as even though he loves us he will want to stay which we don't want.

I would only take de gea, Shaw, martinez, rashford and casemiro. Fernandes would only get in our team as bentacur is injured.That is 5 United players. You rate United too highly. United are one of the luckiest teams this season. They get outplayed in almost every other game. They rely on rashford for most of their goals. You could say that we rely on kane a lot but I have seen us create good chances for kane whereas rashford creates a lot of his own. Wake up.

There's a big difference between someone who covets the England job, and some one who literally fucked us because he couldn't be bothered to do the job he was being paid to do.

He's also never achieved anywhere near the success he enjoyed at Spurs before or since. There's nothing to suggest he he could come back and succeed, or that Daniel Levy would ever talk to him again.
I believe the time Redknapp knocked on his door and asked for a payrise after throwing a top 3 finish away, Levy had suffered a family loss as well.
I'm no Levy fan, but I can't see him ever employing Redknapp or Redknapp, having been out of work so long, having the ability to do anything.

I'm gonna say it again as repeating one's self if fun ( :) )......

Given our trf business; we should have been playing 352 since the start of this season...... Even more so once it became clear that Son was struggling.

Hugo
Rom / Dier / Davies
Biss ---- Skipp -- Bentancur
Spence ----------------------------- Perisic
Kane (Kulu) / Rich (Son)

(*New players highlighted for emphasis.)

We Raise our game against Utd and Liverpool ? Really ? When was that then ?

I don't think they're great. But they are above us and they deserve to be.

Not rated. We have the best forward in kane. Richarlison is a brazil starter. Kulu is amazing and will get even better. Pedro porro is a star. Bentacur is injured and is arguably one of the best midfielders in the league. Skipp is developing into a great prospect. Holberg is our roy keane. Romero is one of the best centre backs in the league. Son who has been off form is one of the best attackers in Europe when on form. Udogie is one of the finest left wing back prospects in Europe. We need a few additions but to think we do not have many high class players is quite insulting.

That's why Hoijberg starts.

They might not start for top six sides, but Wankberg wouldn’t start for any top half side

To be fair, it wasn't very long ago we beat United 6-1 away and have done them in their own back yard a good few times in the last 10 years.
And we don't even have to play them away.
Liverpool away on the other hand, the best we've done in decades is a few draws.

Hojbjerg is our Roy Keane gave me the biggest laugh I’ve had all month.

Cheers mate.

We outplayed liverpool in that second half. We were all over them. We play better against the bigger teams. I would put money on us beating or getting a result against Brighton, Liverpool, United and Newcastle. Its the crap little clubs like Everton that I am worried about. We need to focus. It's annoying as we could beat anyone on our day as we have that ability.
