Lucas Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 No Raphinha No Rodrigo No Bamford No Ayling No Koch Firpo only fit enough for bench Forshaw starting only his 2nd game in 2 years. 19 year old Joe Gelhardt up front and a bench of infants plus Tyler 'Harvey Price' Roberts. This is going to be mega ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Batard Posted November 21, 2021 Administrator Share Posted November 21, 2021 Spurs look abysmal. No creativity through the middle and so easy to defend against. Slow. Meandering. Not enough movement off the ball. Playing the wrong passes. Also Emerson Royal is so uncomfortable as a right wing back I can't see him lasting under Conte based on that performance.

Lucas Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Very frustrating to come out of that with absolutely nothing. All things considered, a surprisingly good performance from us with nothing to show for it. Spurs raised their game second half after a shambolic first half which was to be expected but it was hardly like we weren't in it ourselves, they just managed to score two scrappy goals at pivotal points. I do feel like we created several good openings but we lacked that major bit of quality where it counted. Annoying because thats a few times we get ourselves into positions to win a game and cannot finish sides off. Just pissing away points really. Bad luck with injuries, bad luck on the pitch (The winner comes from a deflected free kick and the perfect rebound off the post to Reguillon) that when your in tough moments, these things seem to clock up and go against you. Need some players back soon fingers crossed because we have absolute arsehole fixtures in December and that will not be happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I should imagine that Spurs will announce on Monday they have given Conte a 10 year contract extension after this win.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse. You could give Ole a 3 year extension and realise your mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storts Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Dreadful first half. Must have been a hell of a half time team talk Pretty good second. Intensity was there and we looked a threat every time we went forward. Should have scored more tbh. Deserved the win but you can really see why Leeds are in trouble, especially with so many players missing. No cutting edge up front at all and look shaky at the back bar Phillips who was excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeluke Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 2 hours ago, shut up said: Do Conte teams always give up so much of the ball? I can't remember his teams being this bad. Yes, it can happen, I used to get frustrated with it in his second season. The football in the first season was mostly very good but I think a lot of the time most teams didn't know how to react to the system and tactics and by the time they did get used to it we already had the momentum and we were able to put in that extra effort to get over the line in the title win. Matches did get increasingly harder that season. His system is the same movements over and over again and the forward players are allowed extra freedom with the protection and solid base they have behind them. For us it was Hazard, Costa and Pedro who would win us games with individual brilliance. The system is defensively very tight but in attack it's the same playing patterns over and over, with chances coming through those patterns or if not moments of individual quality with the front three combining. We'd also win and kill some games on the counter. The football overall isn't that great. This was second season...

Cicero Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Probably the most angry I ever was at a manager after a defeat. He utterly gave up. Went in there prepared to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in there prepared to lose. Yeah, it was annoying. It wasn't just the tactics but an accumulation of things he had done that season in the media or in previous games. I don't want to be too selective though, you go back to the same game the season before and we won 3-1, counter attacking football at its best. I think looking at the managers available and the age of the likes of Kane etc, Conte makes sense for Spurs, short term, clear system and a good motivator.
