We haven't conceded under Stellini have we?


Apparently not ! Away win at Marseilles, then clean sheets at home to Man City, West Ham and Chelsea. In between, the humping at Leicester and the away loss in Milan with Conte in the dugout.

 

Interesting chat on FB - I asked the question “What is Stellini doing that Conte isn’t ?”. The best answer was “It’s the other way round - Stellini isn’t stalking the touchline barking at the players telling them where to run and where to play the ball constantly. Prepares them the same way and trusts them to do the business on the pitch.”

That might well be the difference. It's quite odd how we seem to be a bit more enjoyable to watch without Conte. Let's see how we do when he returns...

I do wonder how much of his overly tight grip on things has been down to stress over the last year. Not just losing his friends in such a short period of time, but also being away from his family for an extended period. Hopefully a break away from things back home directly will do him good.

At the very least, you would hope he listens to how Stellini has managed to get them playing better than he has.

Also thought Forster deserved a mention - didn't have much to do but he made that one crucial save. Looked calm and decisive. 


Better with his distribution than Hugo too. Does Lloris get back in immediately when he’s fit ? Maybe he shouldn’t.

What to say?  Should have sent out the first team and buried then in the first half.

 

Richie looks like he's given up, Son / Kane need to be sold in the summer and Sanchez should never see a Spurs shirt again.  We need a rebuild - like Poch said 5 years ago.  

 

Stellini may have been in the dugout but it was 100% a side picked by Conte.  

 

Need the summer to come ASAP so we can get rid of this clown as well as half the players too.

I would definitely sell Son. He's been absolutely awful all season. Even last night he just kept giving the ball away. I still think Richarlison will come good. Sanchez is truly awful but we've known that for years. He'll be another one we never see a transfer fee for.

That was fucking shite. Son yet again did fuck all. And needing a goal, Conte subs off Deki for Davinson Sanchez, with Danjuma sitting on the bench.

 

They’re so lacklustre. No energy, no guile, no creativity, no desire. Fuck this team.

Annoying I'm traveling to London to see them play on Saturday... But after that, while Conte is in charge - I'm done, not watching any games and tuning out of the results. What a joyless season so far, and what's worse is how many players have gone backwards in their ability compared to last season.

Fuck the tactics and coaching, we have a great team.

Danjuma is clearly the new Spence. Conte didn't want him so he'll get 3 mins per game at most. Why fucking bother.

Deli was poor tonight - he hasn’t been the same since coming back from injury but I’d rather have left him in than Sanchez, shocking sub as at that point it didn’t matter that we had lost a defender.

 

Ive been supportive of Conte but after Sheffield, Wolves and Milan I’m done - there are no excuses to play so pragmatically against such average opposition with so much to actually play for, we all know he isn’t going to be there in the summer so may as well let him go now - of course we won’t as that would cost money.

Yeah, was just writing that if Conte isn’t staying, they should just bin him off now and get either Tuchel or Pochettino or whoever and try and get them over the line. The team look like they know know he’s off and can’t be arsed to play for him.

Players never perform for a manager who is leaving. He needs to be sacked tomorrow. His post match interview was the usual garbage. Anything mentioning his future and he pretends he suddenly didn't understand the question. We know you are going Antonio. Just fucking say it.

Another shower of shit, although Skipp and Porro looked good (I think Porro will be a good signing).

 

And the Dane looked much more comfortable higher up the pitch as he does for his country.

 

As for shifting Royale to the left then subbing him off shortly afterwards... wtf was all that about?

 

And the Sanchez sub was comical, if not Confes last sub as Spurs manager.

 

What a legacy LOL

 

Still, managed to win £20 on Kane to have a shot on target and Skipp to be carded :)

The Sanchez sub was truly baffling. Especially as Sanchez mainly seemed to have the ball in attacking areas - then proceeded to be shit with the ball. 

I hope Conte is sacked today. No more defensive appointments!!!!

Son looks a stone heavier and two yards slower this season as well. Don’t know what’s going on with him at all. Some people think it’s down to a poor link up with Perisic, but he’s been awful with Sessegnon and Royal too.
