I’m worried about the knees of some of the posters on this board given the amount of jerking after todays result. We always lose to Chelsea, in the same way we always win at home to City despite how shat we are.
Top 4 will not be decided by our trips to SB, OT, Anfield or Emptyhad. It’s the other games that matter.
We are still in a great position, one I wouldn’t swap with any of the other chasers. Arsenal just shot themselves in the foot, West Ham have run out of steam and United are playing kack and not always getting away with it.
Conte now has 2 weeks with the squad before 3 home games on the bounce - all against sides below us. We just need the bald fuhck to back him - I actually think he will.
So relax, stop over reacting and accept that this season is about getting that 4th spot as the 3 top sides are miles better than us.
Sore knees

Am sorry it pains me watching us play. Footballers scared of the ball, poor at receiving it , not having a feel for the ball, not making themselves available to their teammates, not winning 50-50s, bullied all over the pitch. Could go on..
If that was Nuno or Mourinho in charge of that game the knives will be out and fans going on about poor coaching and the usual rubbish. Its just the same old sheet players. Been saying since the rein of Poch. We need quality reinforcements. Period.

100 per cent the quality of players. It amuses me how supporters were saying Jose is a dinasaur and Nuno is out of his depth, when Conte is having the same problems with the same set of players. It is so obvious new players are needed.

Tanganga is the scapegoat, but it obviously not all down to him, that Spurs cannot defend set pieces or barely create a chance from midfield. Getting rid of Tanganga alone still leaves a defence that contains Doherty, Davies, Dier and Sanchez, and Spurs ain't winning anything with that defence.

To be fair it is completely undeniable, that Conte has done better with the players than the previous two Managers.

Also completely undeniable that Conte has had a much easier run of games than Nuno? Just a few difficult fixtures, which he has lost anyway.

Well has he really? Three defeats to Chelsea in January, lost to Mura, effectively knocking Spurs out of European competition, scrapped past Morecambe in the FA Cup. Even Jose managed to get this set of losers to beat Man United, Man City, Arsenal and knock Chelsea out of the Carabou Cup last season.
Yes we have had exciting wins like over Leicester, but even they had half a team missing, so would Spurs have beaten them had Vardy and Co been available?
Not knocking Conte at all, but he has the same set of players that have got the three previous managers the sack, so he has little or no chance of turning Spurs into real winners, unless at least half a dozen new players are incoming.
But the bottom line is nothing has really changed under Conte, that was not happening under Jose, Nuno or Pochettino in his last few months.

Absolutely..The ceiling has been reached with this team. Its not going to get better in the short term without quality reinforcements. Increase in our running stats can only get you so far. Conte shouldn't have to tackle all these so called top managers with one hand tied behind his back. Its embarrassing .
I said at the time of his appointment he is in for a culture shock.. Bet he even can't believe how poor some are with Zero personality on the ball.

An awful lot has changed. There's no need to moan for the sake of it. The PL results speak for themselves
