Can he be sacked..?Obvious lack of quality, weak mentality and inconsistency with us atm. I actually think conte likes tottenham and the challenge. Levy needs to back him in summer. If not he has to go. Cant go on any longer under his stewardship being a nearly team. Surely the loyal levy lovers must admit levy has to back or be sacked.
I'm getting desperate.....I'll believe anything....!!I think that you are both wrong
Let’s just admit it
Our squad is mostly shite and the blame lies squarely at Enic and Levy’s door
Fucking shambles
We need a couple of leaders in the team 1 being a central defender and 1 central midfield.After watching the game yesterday, I think what we really need are a couple players with real alpha/winning mentality that our players can look up to. Every single one of our players (including Kane/Son) have such a weak mentality, that when faced with a real challenge or obstacle, we just bend over and take it. I'm sure not winning anything for years has something to do with it, but it also doesn't help that we just don't have many leaders on this team.
Poch should stay away, full stop. He reached the peak of his potential with us a few years ago and I'm really grateful to him but he's developed as far as he can now. He's not a winner.Agreed Poch should stay away until this club had new ownership.
I wonder what that could be....He needs more time to change the mentality of the squad and club. Something is very rotten at the club.
He would definitely agree with you....Come on. The bloke is a genius.
And we should be looking at Christian and Toney for next season.CR beat us, the rest of his team didn't have much to offer. They were above us in the league,was our performance all that bad? We've got to believe, our travelling fans magnificent as usual, putting money where mouth is. Ah well, my second team Brentford won

Correct. No leaders
Which is why Conte is probably making Levy squirm a bit already.So many fans and pundits have said it for years and years and years.
It's as if the club is afraid to recruit strong personalities.
Why didn't we put our best header of a ball directly on Ronaldo??If you fail to mark Ronaldo- the very likeliest player to score on the whole friggin pitch- you can't say you're a better team, and deserve what you get.
Bang on. Its the basics of defending really. He is a great player we all know that but his first goal, someone should be closing him down instead of backing off him and letting him have a shot, and the header... he is totally unmarked.Nobody was marking Ronaldo that was the problem
I agree with that.It’s not like me to be positive but I didn’t think we were that bad. I thought second half we absolutely penned them in. We dominated them. I can’t believe we lost. We didn’t deserve that
I think a few on here are more upset about this sodding fourth place which we were never in the run for, and its clouded a little bit of judgement .
I’m confident after what I saw last night we could certainly grab 5th or 6th. As long as we don’t finish 7th is the main objective . But all in all I thought we played well
So we lost that, so we should beat Brighton now by our form pattern

Romero was marking him. Seems to be his weakness.....set pieces.Bang on. Its the basics of defending really. He is a great player we all know that but his first goal, someone should be closing him down instead of backing off him and letting him have a shot, and the header... he is totally unmarked.
How can you leave the greatest player in the world that much space to work?

Kane was in no mans land when he would have been better in the centre of the goal
I've not really criticized him before but what is Conte actually doing with our defending become it seems to be going backwards the standard of it.Bang on. Its the basics of defending really.

Lets be honest apart from Romero, who is decent, but still having some shaky moments, we have not really strengthened defensively have we..I've not really criticized him before but what is Conte actually doing with our defending become it seems to be going backwards the standard of it.
