Go on, guess.

Discussing his behind-the-scenes knowledge of the rumblings around the training ground regarding Espirito Santo’s time at the club, Gold had the following to say on how the players viewed the 47-year-old.
“Some of these players, you know, some of them have just been kind of labouring along, not winning anything in their careers and whingeing about training and things.
“I’ve heard indirectly from people around players, [they are] whingeing about how tough training sessions have been, how too easy training sessions have been, how training sessions have got stale and stuff like that. And it’s just like, oh come on. Just do what you got to do.”
I'm really intrigued to see what tactical set up he goes with at first and how he develops it.
At Chelsea he stated with a 4-3-3 but shifted to 3-4-3. And of course at Inter he used a 3-5-2.
But the positive thing is that this is a coach who has a plan. He'll know what set up to apply.
I do think fans get a bit too attached to formations and what style of play that insinuates. But Conte has his principles and that is to play fast, be aggressive, compact, lots of movement and ensuring players are joining the attack.
Totally caught up in the potential joys of Conte, can’t stop singing his name to this ?
Is Conte confirmed to be the next manager? I could not find any official confirmation .
Tottenham Hotspur: Alasdair Gold drops behind-scenes Nuno claim
If what AG says is true, whoever is the next manager will not get anywhere unless this group of players are sorted out .
Gotta be up there with Klinsmann as one of the biggest signings in our history?
Conte is one of the top 3 managers in the world.
Cause Daniel Levy had a more hands on roll in the first one and Paratici did the second one and not have his hands tied behind his back half the timeJust goes to show what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.....a new manager in less than 24 hours why did it take 6 - 8 weeks to get a poor replacement whom we sacked 4 months later?
Totally agree, worryingly that performance also told us a lot about the state of the mentality of the current squad. Even the poorest Spurs sides of the 90’s at least showed some fight when taking on a far superior Arsenal side, but this lot showed nothing for the shirt that day. Maybe that’s just a sad indictment of the modern day footballer, but credit the scum where it’s due, even when we’ve been far stronger than them in recent history they’ve never rolled over for us in a NLD like we did in that match.I was saying to my pals earlier today that the NLD was enough for me to see that it wasn't going to work out, and wanted him sacked after that. I know that sounds very reactionary, but it just showed he didn't fully get the club.
Lol. I'll say it again. Had FP got his way last time Gattusso would have gotten the job, and the Nuno appointment was ALL him.Cause Daniel Levy had a more hands on roll in the first one and Paratici did the second one and not have his hands tied behind his back half the time
I would've loved the fallout of Gattusso after that Man U match, he probably would've pulled a Dier, gone into the stands, headbutt a kid flip off the crowd and RKO Kane for not giving a fuck then refuse to resign so he gets paid outLol. I'll say it again. Had FB got his way last time Gattusso would have gotten the job, and the Nuno appointment was ALL him.
He may well of redeemed himself here but he's nowhere near blameless for what happened in the Summer.
Actually, I feel that we have a squad of players who can play the 3-5-2 very well, and that includes the likes of Moura, Gil & Bergwijn. At Inter, Conte utilised Ivan Perisic in a similar role, so I don't honestly think they'll become surplus & Moura less so, as he does have an engine. Wingbacks exist as a support or attacking option, with defensive duties less than full-backs. We are stacked in the area of wingbacks when you look at Reggie, Royal, Doherty, Sess, and Moura, Gil & Bergwijn. With the latter 3 mentioned, I'd assume there will be an element of transition in a wing-back role, but it isn't beyond their means in my opinion.Do we have too many wide forward players on our books for a 3-5-2
could there be an irony about the booing of the Moura substitution and him now actually being surplus to requirements
Funnily enough, some of these players deserve a lunatic like Gatusso to get them to start trying. I’m kind of disappointed we didn’t have him here in the summer. I’m sure a few of the squad would’ve opted to move on rather than to stay an “fight” for their places (in the loosest possible sense)I would've loved the fallout of Gattusso after that Man U match, he probably would've pulled a Dier, gone into the stands, headbutt a kid flip off the crowd and RKO Kane for not giving a fuck then refuse to resign so he gets paid out
Serious question , based on the last four years, how does this said give you that confidence?Actually, I feel that we have a squad of players who can play the 3-5-2 very well, and that includes the likes of Moura, Gil & Bergwijn. At Inter, Conte utilised Ivan Perisic in a similar role, so I don't honestly think they'll become surplus & Moura less so, as he does have an engine.

Didn't he play 3-4-3 at Chelsea?Do we have too many wide forward players on our books for a 3-5-2
