I think all he meant was to put the ball in the danger area, for something to happen. That it went in was a fluke moment. Its still a good cross though. Its like the one Son 'scored' vs Wolves(or whoever it was very early in the season). Im pretty sure Son wont say he meant score there.

He needs a serious talking to from TFC royalty, Mrs P.... And yes; including being called a doo-doo to his face!
Pretty telling that he is being booed by his own fans. Didn’t look interested at the best of times but since his mates fucked off I think he’s just completely thrown in the towel.
Good riddance, that should be the final nail in the coffin of his spurs career.
And at the same time make us even more of a laughing stock. Surely conte knows our history in the cup to not treat it as a ego trip and make sure we lose. I just wish he could actually coach us to play better football other than counter attack. Lots of people might give me stick but his supporters are the same as Jose’s who said he was a winner and we need to support him. Why? Lots of clubs have far less than us but can still play better football. Surely with his pedigree he can’t train, coach motivate an 11 to beat morecombe at home easily. If he can’t then is he really a top coach. I’m fed up with all the apologist making out we are shit. We are not that bad and I’m sure we could play better football than we currently do.
Before today I have never booed a Spurs player, I even came to blows with a geezer who was booing Gary Doherty behind me back in the day, I don't feel its productive and players don't deserve it when they are giving their all but simply aren't good enough.
But something snapped in me today, I think it was his "fuck you attitude" to the fans as he strolled off. I felt he was telling us what he felt about the fans and club.
That was his Hossam Ghaly moment
I do understand your pain and its really not fair to dedicated fans like yourself.
I can only hope that the stubbornness can push ownership into action by revealing an inconvenient truth.
You a Jose fan? Football under him got far worse. No shots on target many a game. Under Conte we actually try most of the time, just fall short quality wise. Lots of effort and intent, but we need players. He joined mid season, didn't get a transfer window like Jose did, and in the space of months we've risen up the table and could be one win from top 4. The improvement from Nuno to him has been palpable, but he isn't a magician, he doesn't magic up world class players who fit his vision. Even Klopp struggled and had embarrassing results with Liverpool before he got what he needed.
Not his fault we struggle to play his system because we have one actual CF at the club, shit wing backs, and not a midfielder worth a damn apart from Skipp. Any formation we play we're gonna have issues, if it's 433 we don't have the wingers or midfielders, 4-2-3-1 we don't have a competent 10, 4-4-2? Outdated and again, we don't have the wide players. We play on the counter attack because none of our midfielders can be bothered to create, so we have to rely on turnovers, it's obvious! Watch GLC and Ndombele today, those are the creators. They don't want to play for this club, not even if we hired Pep tomorrow.
'Is he really a top coach' has an obvious answer and it's yes. He won the league comfortably last season, he re-built Juventus, he won the league with Chelsea. If you're already asking this question after months where we've objectively improved then damn, you have zero fucking patience. With Jose the signs of his decline were there before he joined us, and are even more obvious now he's left. I guarantee if we lose Conte he goes straight to another club and wins trophies, because his methods work, they fit the modern game and will function anywhere where he has a semblance of backing.
Woolwich losing was the only thing to make my 29 year old son smile today!!
It was just the way he shaped to take the free kick and how truly he struck through the ball that suggested it went exactly where he wanted it end of the day who cares we are one of 14 prem teams that will be playing in the 4th round
OMG Gary Doherty, I'd forgotten him. A mate of mine used to say that in defence we had "Ledley and Leadlegs". I understood his crticism too - it really was as though his legs were made of lead.
Yeah the "ginger Pele" was awful, but he knew he was lucky to be at Spurs and he tried his heart out with a fraction of N'dombele's talent.
Wouldn't mind if he'd do it on Dier, Dele and Kane too.
Kids grow up so fast.
I think he meant to aim at Dele(or was it Kane near the far post) but mishit it slightly that it curled in. Still it was a good dangerous cross. If he meant it, then even better because then he will be able to do it again and again.

What I did enjoy about today, is the huge number of kids at the game, obviously their first for so many of them.
What I didn't like was the number of pushy parents trying to get players' attention by using their kids to nab a shirt. Also the idiot that ran on the pitch to try and get a shirt too. I wouldn't mind if they wanted to keep it, but you just know that it will be on e-bay tomorrow.
Only one way to stop them, the players must not be allowed to give out shirts to randoms in the crowd.

Yeh like you say , when they give their all you’re more than willing to give them a bit of leeway
I say it over and over but they should donate them to local charities for auction.....

Seems to have installed in him the ethos to be brave and pass forward.
Love this. You're like "man, that football was so shit I ain't even gonna mention Nuno's name".
That beardy guy...y'know...with the folded arms and...erm...did I mention the beard?
