Everyone can see that the majority of tonight's team just aren't good enough - problem is that 'everyone' includes all the other teams, so unless Levy does something he has never done and sells players at a massive loss, he won't be able to get rid of most of them. Maybe we can hope for a load of Aurier-type ending of contracts and a chunk of actual money (not from sales) to spend.

Well it took just three weeks for us to break him! Levy should be very fucking worried when hearing this, about time we had a manager who said in public what a shit show they've inherited.

Spurs are like the car Boycie sold to Del Boy. It didn't take long for Rodney to find the holes plugged by newspaper.

Lucky for us Conte thrives on this type of challenge. If he gets us back in the top 4 and wins a trophy it will be his biggest achievement.

I’ve seen enough. I’d like to apologise to Jose, Ryan Mason and Nuno.

Let Winks, Doherty, Alli, Davies, Sanchez go on free transfers if we have to, take anything above £10m for Lo Celso, Ndombele, Sessegnon, Rodon, Bergwijn and Gil. And stop playing Gollini so he doesn’t hit 20 appearances. Build around whatever the hell is left.

Most on here still blamed the Managers

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

We have serious issues in the squad but there were issues with coaching too.

Mourinho's career is on a downwards trend and it wouldn't surprise me if he fails to last a season at Roma.

Nuno was thoroughly underwhelming as an appointment and sadly the players knew he was a glorified caretaker as much as we did.

Conte just gives them nowhere to hide anymore which is a very good thing.

Ive been reflecting whilst crying into my hands and I do think there is a huge positive. Ultimately there has not been a new manager bounce which can sometimes cloud our perception of players. The fact that there isnt means we should know instantly who is and who isnt good enough and who has potential to retain... this will hopefully give Conte, Paratici, Levy, Hitchin a clear idea of how we overhaul this squad.

I mean I remember when Jose came, and Dele performed well for a few games then he turned to shit again. So there is a positive that we Conte found all this out within three weeks rather than three months.

Interesting press conference. A lot of the same but basically admitted for the first time that a fair few of our players are gash.
He'll tell them to their face too.

Honestly think Dele has already been told. He's had a face like a slapped arse since Conte walked through the door and looks to have stopped trying to impress
