Not just numbers. If it was just that then we'd throw some of the shit back into the fray.
We need players we can actually use and Conte clearly knows that.

I really think us fans are gonna be in for a shock this season. I can see many players who would start games if they had one leg suddenly being on the bench more often. Just because we will have options we've never had before.

This is so odd

I support Tottenham

I’m not 11..
 
I bet Klopp works his asthmatics like dogs too.
He thinks he won the titles in the 80's without needing to work hard.
That's because everyone in the 80's were on the same physical level.

We want to hit the ground sprinting this season. Not use the first 3 games to get fit and probably drop points.

Saw this comment on the youtube channel - it's bang on, imo.

"I never played pro like Stevie or Nedum, but we had a saying in the Marine Corps - the more you sweat in training, the less you bleed on the battlefield. There is a confidence that comes from intense training. You cannot know your limits until you've actually reached them. As demanding as a match can be, even pros rarely reach their physical limits. They all walk off the pitch which means they've all got a bit more in the tank. Now, you would NEVER want these guys giving EVERYTHING for EVERY match. They'd end up injured or dead. But you do want them to know where their limits are, so that they can push just a little bit harder in those moments of need."

What a load of bollocks....

Physically: They'll be monitored by all sorts of high tech shenanigans.

Mentally: It's about belief and endurance later down the line..... It's not an authoritarian flex from Conte, ffs.

The repeated use of the word "collapsing" is sensationalist BS too.


Let's be honest..... Now we see why managers would rather keep stuff behind closed doors........ They've got better things to do than answer for every damn thing just cos the media & public want their pound of flesh.

If you want to go and break a world record for a 10k run, you don't spend all your time trying to beat it by 1 second.
You aim to beat it comprehensively by pushing yourself in training.

Whether that prick gets it or not, the game of football involves an awful lot of running.
These guys need to be able to run for a solid 90 minutes without suffering near the end. In the past, that has cost us as we fell onto the back foot.
