Let's all laugh at Tottenham

[Iwobeast]

Man those comments from Chiellini were legendary, but not nearly as funny as the same words coming out of the mouth of the actual Topspur Manager

 

[Riou]

Can't believe Sp**s are just gotta let Conte clown on the club until the end of the season, as sacking him now would cost too much money and they just want his contract to expire.

Thought Conte was being super unprofessional doing this and even Sp**s deserved better from their manager, but if the club are just gonna let him say this then they really are the most pathetic football team in existence

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Yeah what we've done definitely has had an impact on their perception, but also I think everyone knows Sp**s are somewhat fortunate to be in the top 4 fight so heavily due to how poor Liverpool have been and Chelsea. Also they haven't improved much, they haven't really regressed but the expectations was they'd kick on and they simply haven't. I think there's much deeper issues than Conte, what he's saying is correct perhaps he shouldn't be saying it publicly but these are the same players who've been there for years, the same spine pretty much bar a couple of players and it's the same story with them.

You look at how we've changed gradually since Arteta took over, new keeper, new CB pairing (new backline now), Partey coming in, Ødegaard and now Jesus up front. Most of these guys leaders too with great mentalities. Meanwhile Sp**s still depending on guys like Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg has been there a few years now team still geared toward Kane like it's been for almost a decade now. There's almost a bad funk hanging around the team while a lot of their core remains the same. That and I don't think a lot of their signings have actually improved them all that much, Lenglet for starters is pretty average and hasn't improved their defence all that much.

Fair play to Conte. Everything he said is true which makes it funnier still.

 

[TornadoTed]

They need a major rebuild, they have some good players but over 50% of the squad is just not good enough, they have a dozen players who wouldn't look out of place at a team fighting relegation.

To kick on they really need to increase the technical ability of the squad so they can keep possession and control matches. They have been relinquishing possession and relying on Kane and Son on the counter for ages now, it just isn't sustainable in the long term.

Fortunately the money isn't there for that kind of huge surgery and I really see them falling away over the next couple of years to comfortably the 7th club of the big seven.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Pochettino ended up being sacked after holding 7 to Bayern and poor start to the league, Mourinho ended up failing with the players looking like they didn't want to play for him, Nuno never had the players on board and now things have gone real sour with Conte.

Laugh at all these managers all you want, these are all managers than have been successful to varying degrees across their careers and have all run into the same problems.

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

Key highlights from the game against Saints:
1) Kane is ugly as sin. He's got an owl face.
2) Perisic looked upset that he scored!
3) Lovely dribble through half the Sp**s team by Sulemana.
4) Fantastic penalty by Ward-Prowse. I'm sure Conte would love someone who performs under pressure.
5) Conte telling Sp**s fans that the entire club sucks.
6) Sp**s are painful to watch. Boring, counter-attack merchants.

Tbh I think Kane is as much to blame as Levy or Conte. Players look to their captain for inspiration. He's still been scoring goals, but he's lost the motivation to be a true leader since Levy stopped him leaving to pursue trophies. He doesn't want to fight for Sp**s anymore and sulks all the time.

TBF Lloris is their captain and he is a dud. The Sp**s team never kicked on. When they started finishing ahead of us they stopped progressing. Lloris, Dier formed part of their spine and should have been moved on. They should have built a new team around Kane. They lose him and they'll struggle for top 6 next season.

 

[TH14shahriar]

My take... Conte is trying to get fired. He's testing out his power on the players and the management one more time, but he has no leeway or tricks after this and he knows his time is up. He's already thinking past Tottenham.

By taking initiative in his own, he takes control of the narrative. He determines the terms under which he was fired. Now Levy becomes the loser for firing him apparently out of pride at being called out rather than out of concern for success. Conte gets fired for wanting them the club to win, but he was thwarted. Other fan bases say - "we want Conte, he's a winner!" Other clubs see him as a chance to please disgruntled fan bases.

His public reputation, which Sp**s fans purred about, is intact, but at the expense of the club. He really feels a lot of these things, because he can't possibly be at fault in his own eyes, but the decision to let loose publically is a strategy.

In all of this is lost the fact that Sp**s are going through their best sustained period since the late 50s early 60s. Maybe they haven't figured out how to get over the hump, but it's hard to point at Levy as the main obstacle. Levy lost Bale but got Kane to stay. Man City and Chelsea are incredibly wealthy. There is pep and Klopp. Then there is always Man U and Liverpool. This is not an easy period to rise to the top.

Conte chose a lot of those players - some are good, some not so. Many that predated him are excellent, some not so much. He's basically asking for an oil state to buy the club because he can't do better than Arteta with the same money.

Kane is not part of problem its down to him they finishing 4th every top team will want kane he does everything modern striker asked to do score assist drop deep his passing is insanely good too. What the fault is levy surrounded him with negative minded manager and defensive minded players its basically wasted 5 years of his career. But he could easily leave this summer

 

[Sammy1887]

So Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Davinson Sanchez will outlast 3 different managers since Sp**s sacked Poch.

 

[Flying Okapis]

You know the club is in the **** when Agbonlahor makes sense, and he actually does here.

Hearing Tottenham fans on TalkSport is hilarious, they keep harping on about Conte-ball and how they want to return to the old days and have always played attacking and attractive football, so deluded.

When were Steffen Iverson and Ruel Fox playing attractive football?

They are lucky Kane has dragged them through however many years, it will be really interesting when he leaves and they go back to bang average players.

He is a great player, you just get the feeling he doesn't want to be there anymore. He wants to win but Levy won't let him lol.

He signed that big deal. Does anyone really think he’s happy scoring all these meaningless goals, he doesn’t even look happy.

Doesn’t help when you have Henry saying don’t bring goals to a GOAT debate if you don’t have trophies etc.

His legacy might be the all time PL scorer and nothing more. Could’ve had a major trophy for England but he came up short when it mattered for his country, was poor in the CL final too.

 

[Riou]

Was a little shocked Henry said that, thought The King would try and be a little diplomatic.

Nope..."I would be embarrassed to have scored loads of goals with no trophies" killed me

 

[GDeep™]

If you look at Sp**s they don’t really have a reputation for losing top players without massive fees. Levy is good at that atleast.

Got a top fee for Bale, kept Son at his peak, kept Bale when he clearly wanted to leave and even now are leaking they have no intention of selling.

For a club that is not an elite club.

 

[Game Over]

They’ll plummet when Kane grows a spine and leaves. Regardless, he’s likely only got 2-3 years top level left.

Son looks to be declining rapidly.

They’ve hung on the coat tails of two players for 4-5 years. Once they leave/regress, they’re ****ed. Never replacing that output.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

LOOOOL

Quite fitting that an Italian is salting the earth at Sp**s same as his Roman ancestors did to Carthage millennia ago
