I think he has to play Danjuma now and try and get Royal back in the side, other than that it’s Sophie’s choice
Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte
- Thread starter TheTanguy
- Start date
I have no idea but Iam sure we will find out who these players are in the next game as I expect he will drop them.
Would love to see a single player other than Harry Kane stand up to him and say “I don’t think you are being fair with those comments boss”
Conte “ oh really, please elaborate”
player “errr, um Ahhh, we won the Walter Tull trophy in the summer”
Lets not forget, Poch had to dig these lot out back in 2016 after they first wilted against an already relegated Newcastle - these players have form

If they're as shit and useless and he claims then get Devine in. Play Sarr, Damjuma. Give the kids a chance to show the desire he wants. Either that or stfu and do your job by coaching and motivating the squad full of internationals and seasoned premier league pros
Apparently Dier isn’t Shit - it was news to me
Yes the Sun is shining I'm feeling good not thinking about Spurs and football just thinking about my Mum and how I miss her.

We scored 3 goals yesterday and last week too. How would have danjuma prevented any of the goals we conceded.

Whilst the motive behind Conte's outburst was probably self-preservation, nonetheless, he isn't wrong. The substance of his outburst is true. I don't care who the manager is, what formation he's playing, those two goals we conceded were not down to anything other than unprofessional, haphazard bullshit attitudes and defending. The absolute football basics.
The players have shown, quite recently against the likes of Chelsea and City, that they are capable of good performances. When they're up for it.
Is the whole matter of who will be in charge next season having an effect? Perhaps. But no matter what, these players represent Spurs and are paid by Spurs. Not Conte.
So that's why his outburst is correct. He of course has his own share of blame, this outburst should have come earlier if he wanted us to believe he's said all these things for the good of the club and not his own reputation. But that doesn't mean it's all false.
The players, with a few minor exceptions, don't give a shit.

Genuinely staggered by how many people are so blinded by their hatred of levy and the way the club is run that the way will not countenance that Conte could be in the wrong at all.
I don’t have a problem with the rant against levy. The relationship is clearly on the skids and some of it needed saying. But throwing the players under the bus whilst taking zero accountability for his own performance was completely unacceptable and also flagrantly unprofessional (he obviously wants to be sacked). The fact he’s had a shit year doesn’t excuse the frankly piss poor coaching job he’s done this season, and blaming everyone else whilst pocketing your cash makes you look, date I say it completely selfish. What he’s done hasn’t helped the club because it gives levy an easy excuse to sack him.

Yep and only 1 of those teams has played Champions League football and has a state of the art stadium. We've pulled ahead of them for years. It's just frustrating for fans that we never win anything like those 2. There's nothing more frustrating than being the team that's always close but always falls short. We're just in a situation now where we've spent so long being a nearly team its boiled over. Arsenal really pulled ahead in the late 90s and moved to our turf. That's also getting under our skin. Especially as we finally got above them in the table yet won nothing and now they're finishing above us but might also win the title. They also won the FA Cup during our time above them and they've jumped way ahead us on the FA Cup win count.
ENIC have taken us forward after the Sugar era. However we had really fallen behind in the 90s. I would rather compare what we've done under ENIC compared to the 80 and earlier. This is the big challenge for Conte because its more than 20 years. Try 32 years since our last FA Cup win. How do you change the culture of the club. When did Arsenal become serial winners in the late 90s. This is what we need to do now. I was really hoping Conte would be the one to change that but it doesn't appear he will be here long enough. It's feeling more like Ancelotti at Everton and a lost cause.
I don’t mind some criticism of the players and I don’t mind criticism of levy at all. I do mind the fact that he has taken absolutely zero accountability for his own job performance. If you think this is a well coached team I don’t know what to tell you

Where did I say that? Are you for real? I literally said he has his own share of the blame. Fucking hell mate, we're annoying enough as it is, don't wind me up even more.

Can’t wait to watch the players perform even worse in two weeks time.
The man has come out with some home truths, but does anyone seriously believe it'll help anyone the way they were delivered?
Yes, we need a complete overhaul (Kane & Son included), but his toxic ass should also be moved far away from the club. Until you have what you want you do the best with what you've got, something he's either unable or refusing to do out of spite.
What is there even to support now? The board is clueless, the players spineless, and the manager a self-preserving, arrogant twat.

I've never understood why Davies gets lumped in with the rest of them. He's by far our least error prone defender and that includes Romero, and comfortably our best LB, although that is admittedly a pretty low bar. He and Kane are the only 'senior' players I would keep if it were up to me. Lloris, Dier, Sanchez, Perisic, PEH, Lucas and sadly Son should all be moved on.

The big senior players who stayed were almost all gone by the time Conte arrived, and the only starter left was Buffon. The team in the 2 seasons before had been garbage, and under Delneri especially they were just absolutely uninspired and had no fight in them at all - indeed they looked like we do right now. Conte comes in, brings in a few key first team players like Vidal and Lichtsteiner (Pirlo too of course, although he wasn't part of the original plan) and then makes them absolute mentality monsters who went from 7th the season before to equalling Wenger's unbeaten record at L'Arse. They were utterly relentless and they needed to be too, because none of their strikers were any good at scoring lol.
By coming on late with fresh legs whe we are ahead and running into the corner and holding the ball up ? By being an outlet for the defence? By giving them something to think about? By pressing from the front?
do you watch football?

I agree with this so much and came on to same something similar. I don't think Conte thinks there's one or two "selfish" players that he can drop
I think he is referring to this pattern. How can a side go out and beat the best sides in the league and go on 2-3 match mini winning streaks, then go out and concede twice within 5 minutes of scoring themselves and give up an equalizer in stoppage time?
I thought Milan was shit in both matches they played us but you could at least tell they gave it absolutely everything to ensure we would not score a goal, and I don't think our XI would do the same.

business as usual. This club is going to kill me honestly. The usual of being losers.
It's like no one listened to what conte said and just projected their own thoughts
