Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

[Russ1201]

But…. Who’s going to do the interviews?

and who’s gonna look after the keys?

Ok keep Doris the tea lady

So passive. No pressing, no intensity, no pace of play…again. I’m tired of commentators talking about how the other team has really come to play today and has put on their best showing in a long time. We let them play, it’s that simple. They look better because they all have time on the ball then the players gain confidence and then the crowd gets into it.

There is this thing that grinds my gears - its when people say, for example, oh Fulham rolled over for Arsenal but wont roll over for us. Its an in denial type comment because it isnt rolling over - its the fact we let teams roll over us, Arsenal roll over others.

We let teams play and we just wait.

I bloody hate this iteration of Tottenham. The football was arguably as bad under Mourinho but at least he a bit of charisma and didn't spend all his time acting as if he was doing us a favour by managing us.

Was much, much more likeable character, so was Nuno. And most of our past managers. At the moment hard pressed to find one who wasn't.

Ok keep Doris the tea lady

Doris is far too passive with her biscuit tin game. The stupid old bint throws out plain digestives every time. What about a jammy dodger or a bourbon biscuit once in a while?

 

[cjbyid]

Yeah he needs to go. Still think he'll see the season out however.

Levy just wont pull the trigger.

 

[Japhet]

Didn't see the game but sounds like a carbon copy of our negative, passive anti football. Can't even hang on to a 3 - 1 lead against the worst team in the division is a fucking disgrace. Can't wait for Conte to fuck off and get someone in who wants to play football again.

[Johnny J]

Yeah he's done now. Enough. Time to end this sorry saga.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Its never his fucking fault is it.

 

[FinnYid]

And whose fault is that you fucking whig rack.

 

[neogenisis]

He is full on blaming the players.

 

[h2005]

If only we could create a role where it’s someone’s job to get them to play as a team…

 

[coy-spurs1882]

so it isn't the manager/coach's responsibility to help the players to progress??

 

[JCRD]

Oh so the players did learn something from Conte, after all,

 

[samspurs92]

He just wants to be sacked. He’s given up so how can he blame the players.

He can’t possibly stay after those comments.

 

[DiVaio]

Goodbye Antonio.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Sack this now

 

[rossdapep]

If they don't feel that the coach is on board with it then of course they'll play for themselves cause that's all they have left.

Ive resisted until now but Id make the change simply because the new coach can take 3 months to see who he wants here next season.

It's not even about bedding in a new system. Its about finding out who is in this for the next era.

If players arent, then they have to go

 

[srups34]

Antonio Conte says the players are playing for themselves, and ‘not for the team’, and that they haven’t made any progress this season. He also states he sees a lot of ‘selfish players’ in the team.
@BBCMOTD

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

He has the fucking NERVE to say the players are playing for themselves and they’re selfish? WHAT ARE YOU DOING BY NOT COMMITTING TO THE PLAYERS BEYOND THIS SEASON?!

He makes my fucking blood boil like no manager before. Sack this fucking dickhead tonight.
