What about last week when it was the fans fault for being impatient? He's deflecting blame onto everyone but himself.
He should be sacked before the team coach arrives back in N17!

And Gil for Lamela who was one of our strongest mind playersSomehow managed to bring in even more weak-minded players like N'Dombele and Lo Celso

We've spent a lot of money, although our recruitment has often been poor and ill thought out. But it's wrong and unprofessional of Conte not to play Danjuma or Spence just to make a point. He needed to make better use of the resources available to him, and earn his £15 mil a year, rather than wingeing. I'm sure he wanted Bastoni and Zaniolo or whoever, but they weren't available, and that happens to all managers.

Good info, interesting. I play guitar and have a similar thing: when I first learn a song or melody it takes a while playing slowly and building up. After a lot of repetition your fingers just do it without conscious effort and you can play with your eyes closed.
I assumed this sort of muscle memory training was what Conte was doing with his "machinations", but maybe this is different.

What worries me is we get another nice guy like Nuno who is just happy to be here or we someone who plays into the mentality of aww bless the poor little players on 90k a week.
Least at the moment Conte is on nuclear mode and it may wake some people write the season off the and let him do the damage needed so this club can pick itself up and sort itself out whether that is with a new board or changes in general.
lol honestly so sick of hearing that scripted bollocks after every bad defeat. Infuriating hearing it so much over the last few years. Club has their eyes shut and fingers in their ears if they actually think some of these players are actually good enough to be starting for us.
This is elite level football, there's no hiding place..... if you're not good enough you will get found out and too many of them were found out years ago but they still linger around and get backed in some quarters because they are 'nice guys, club/team men or have a good attitude'....who gives a shit If it's been clear for years they are not up to it in terms of ability. They can be nice guys at Everton or Fulham and go be nice to the tea lady over there.

It doesn't matter if he's on our side. He's got a big enough ego for us to know that he wants to win. So that means all he cares about is winning. That for me is good enough.
I'm glad he said this. The players always get off without any blame despite being paid millions. Their job is to follow instructions and run. It's not complicated.
Anyone who is going to tell me that it's his job to motivate them needs their head examined. They are paid millions and somehow he's got to inspire them?? If I had an employee tell me they needed me to inspire or motivate them when we started a new project I'd telling to start looking for a new job. We, in the UK, seem to put so much responsibility on the managers head, and if it's not the manager it must be the board. When do the players take blame.
We've got Harry fucking Kane, the best forward in the world right now. Son, the best Asian player of all time. Captain of world cup winning France, a serie A defender of the year, an African Nations cup winner, and somehow with Spurs they always come up short. The mentality of some at the club is weak and contagious
Yes and no for me.
On one hand he's been backed better than any recent manager and its unacceptable to belittle the club as he is and in my opinion he needs to accept some blame and be sacked tonight.
On the other hand he's saying a lot of the things that supporters have been thinking.
Personal opinion is that I'd replace him now which is a pity as I was a big fan but it's toxic now and he's following the same patterns he has at other clubs.

He may well be, but it’s extremely unprofessional airing your dirty linen in public.
His primary objective is to absolve himself of any blame.
I definitely think he’s trying to get put on gardening leave.

Conte said it is time for the club and players to start taking responsibility.
"Not only the club, the manager and the staff. The players have to be involved in this situation because it is time to change this situation if Tottenham want to change," he said.

but think logically why would he care about 3 months pay? He's rich.
maybe he's just saying it how it is because he actually wants to win. We are so used to losers at this club that when someone points out what winning takes we can't even recognise it.
I'm not absolving him of blame but these conspiracy theories about gardening leave etc are nonsense imo
