Maybe, Just maybe, they players play better without a raging hemorrhoid screaming at them from the dugout?
Literally just the highlights from the games stellini managed.
We did start as strong as we finished. We took more points from our first 10 games than any other PL seasonStrange how we had a really good end of the season last season as well going on a great Run and making top 4, with Conte in charge,
People are reaching to think its because Conte is away we are doing so well, if he could get us to start as strong as we finish we would be in the title race!
Wonder if it has anything to do with that stupid World cup in the middle of the season then?We did start as strong as we finished. We took more points from our first 10 games than any other PL season
Possibly but I suspect it also had something to do with Son being useless, Bentancur, Romero, Bissouma and Kulu all having injuries and our defence turning into a clown troupWonder if it has anything to do with that stupid World cup in the middle of the season then?

I thought Collymore had topped himself.‘No-brainer’: Collymore thinks Tottenham suddenly have a ‘problem’
Collymore wrote: “Cristian Stellini is doing a great job in Antonio Conte’s absence.
“However, the problem for Spurs is, when the manager’s number two gets a taste for the outright manager’s job, they often have their head turned.
“Of course, they’re going to want to experience it more because they’ve had a sample of what it feels like to be the top man – the one in charge – the man who is listened to.
“I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if clubs are looking at him and wondering if he’s worth taking a gamble on.
“I don’t think any clubs in the Premier League, certainly not top-half sides anyway, will be willing to take a chance on him. Still, as for Championship teams, or the equivalent throughout Europe, in my view, it’s a no-brainer for them to be looking at Stellini.”
We just aren't good enough to be in the title race or really even close.Strange how we had a really good end of the season last season as well going on a great Run and making top 4, with Conte in charge,

But we have players than can improve our previous performances IMO.We just aren't good enough to be in the title race or really even close.
It's not like we are an amazing team that is just inconsistent. We are inconsistent because we aren't amazing. And Conte plays the same team over and over and over and over even though they've proven they are inconsistent.
Our big 6 + newcastle record was 0-1-6 until we won the last 2.
Every team has individual errors that occur and the good teams rebound and win games even with the errors. Look at the 2 goals city gifted us right before half at the Etihad. We crawl in to a shell when things are going poorly and it's mostly because we just aren't that good. We are ok.
Been confirmed that Stellini is in the hot seat for the FA Cup game tomorrow.
Surely conte is still picking the team now though?We just aren't good enough to be in the title race or really even close.

I don’t know. But there have been a lot more tactical changes than usual.
