Our bench is worse because he doesn't use it.Look on our bench for fak sake
I thought Sarr and Spence looked bright when they came on.

Whilst I think you are right in that defensive football can lead to more mistakes/lapses in concentration, Lloris' mistakes have come directly after an attacking move broke down.I'd get the blame on players or individual mistakes here and there if those mistakes were being made against the run of play, or in tight matches. For instance.
'We were 2-1 up and bossing it and Dier goes and does that'.
'We were caning Arsenal 2-0 with 80% possession and 18 shots on target and then Sanchez gives away 2 penalties in the last 2 minutes'.
'We played some great stuff today but one silly mistake cost us'.
'Shame Lloris couldn't save that shot for the equaliser but proud of the team today'.
But it's none of those, we play terrible defensive football - badly, are 'happy' to give the other team 70% of the ball and then surprised when the other team manage to score first. So, we go out the next week and do the same again. It doesn't matter who we play, or which players play for us, it's always the same.
When we take the shackles off the players start to look better, and it's no surprise that when we attack more in the last 20 minutes the defence also looks better and gets further up the pitch, because they're not under constant pressure anymore.
Conte must change his approach as this style does not work, if he can't see it and can't think of any other way to set this team up then he has to take some blame. If he can't and we continue to play like this then he won't last much longer.
You think keeping Conte is the right move? Genuinely?We're at the stage where everyone's assuming Conte's going. Just like with Poch, where I assumed we wouldn't be that fucking stupid, the momentum is building...
It sounds good in theory - but in reality, one name pops up every where - Daniel Levy.
Levy hired the managers.
Levy set the transfer strategy - both buying and selling.
Replace Levy with a competent chairman - and you solve a lot of problems.
So two players out the 11 then? Pretty much what almost means. Unbelievable lolAlmost at full strength other than Kulusevski & Bentancur who revitalised this team last season & Richarlison who might just make our bench a tad stronger - lol unbelievable
Until Joe Lewis fucks off, nothing will change. Levy is just a puppet doing his master’s bidding. We are a cash cow and they are milking us dry. As opposed to Todd Boehly who has invested close to £600m in transfers in less than a year.It sounds good in theory - but in reality, one name pops up every where - Daniel Levy.

Will it be via text, email or carrier pigeonWe're at the stage where everyone's assuming Conte's going. Just like with Poch, where I assumed we wouldn't be that fucking stupid, the momentum is building...
Don't really back him? Under Conte in one year we bought 7 first team players and our net spend is nearly 100m(excluding permantent signing of Romero) plus Kulusevski and Perisic. Davies, Skipp and Lloris with new contracts. Most of the players he wanted to sell left. And at the moment, our summer window is looking quite bad.I hear all that. This is on ENIC! Sorry!
You don’t bring in a manager like him, and don’t really back him. We sll know what kind of manager he was before we took him on.
Lewis could force him out.Only that will never happen. Even if Joe Lewis sells his stake , do you think Levy will ?
Fans protest isnt going to do anything. We are at mercy of Levy, no amount of moaning is going to change that unfortunately
Should have been Potter all day long
But there is no other club like us in the worldNo, you appoint a manager that suits the club and material at hand that he can build upon, taking the opposite route is destined to fail. At least outside sportwashing clubs.
So they've won things on top resources on corresponding leagues? We are not a club that has such. Moreover they have - especially Conte - absolutely no credentials they can manage successfully a club that is a challenger with more limited resources. Well Jose has that CL run with Porto that started his career close to 20 years ago. But Conte?
Yes, we won't have resources to buy them the highest paid squads, so these managers who won't perform without such offer fuck all to Spurs. Nada. Nothing. It has been evident since appointment of Gooner George but yet we persist on those. Now Klopp was whole different thing with Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool beating the odds, we ought to keep eye for such appointment instead of appointing these managers that have proved fuck all in environment comparable to Spurs.
I would have. We are a pathetic club when it comes to recent achievements. Id take anythingI genuinely wouldn’t have celebrated winning the Europa Conference league. The winner gets a spot in Europa League qualifiers ffs.
I am very much a Conte supporter but Did he not know the budget he had when he joined? Has that changed for the worse since he came?He has not been backed. But some fans are easy to be duped.
