Where we deserve to be

Fans don't want to hear this. Same way many look down upon conference league. Until we learn to do the best in whatever situation we find ourselves we will continue to be a passionless team.

Passion is about loving football and aiming to defeat every opponent. Our players like some fans think passion is a Tap that you turn on when you need to. What the idyat, over paid diva footballers don't understand is a career is short. You don't know when your last match could be but they don't play like this because deep down I suspect many of them have lost passion for football due to the resort like status of Spurs and wages they could never have dreamed of.

Your supposed leader flies off to events mid season etc

We need a whole new mindset at Spurs and we need warrior mentality in the players we buy. That why I don't mind 4 seasoned pros with a good history of high level performance coming to Spurs in Summer..even if they are all over 29 years old.

If we finish 5th, Conte should be sacked or he should walk. Hopefully the later.

We have had plenty of opportunities to win games that are winnable and failed to do so because we cannot even muster a shot on target. It is not acceptable.

4th has been there for the taking before we lost to Southampton, Wolves at home and Burnley away. The last two games warrant the reaction by all fans because the performances have been terrible.

Now we have 5 games left and we will defo lose to Liverpool so really 4 games left. Arsenal could be 5 points ahead of us by the time we play them.

If we qualify for the Europa league the squad will suffer from Thur/Sunday football even if we make 5 or 6 signings in the summer. We are not good enough for CL.

Are you concerned that in summer kane and son will move on, and conte will go to psg? Where would that leave spurs?

This squad is light years away from champions league quality and would require a lot of money spent in the summer to even compete in that competition, which won't happen as we all know, so yes europa is probably our level right now only just though

posted on 24/4/22

Not particularly concerned. Son has just signed a bumper contract so can’t see him leaving. If Conte and Kane leave then so be it. We will get good money for Kane and Poch will come back as manager.

Ideally Conte stays and he build the squad he wants. Football changes so quickly, fack knows what’s gonna happen

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nope

As good as they are and I want them to stay we could do such a massive rebuild with the funds

For the record I don’t see Son going anywhere and Kane will only leave for Man City which by the sounds of things that won’t happen now cos of Haaland

Kane will finish his career with Tottenham now

Conte couldn’t give a rats about ….he is showing how one dimensional he is….no change up in formation when things aren’t working ….give him a great squad of players and his one dimensional stuff works…he can’t make it work with our dross and is getting found out

I’m starting to think he already knows he is off to PSG in the summer ….why else would he not change things up , it’s like he doesn’t really care what happens

Poch back to spurs and I don’t know how I feel about it

Spurs right now are at best only good enough to be a CL fodder team.

However, if they qualify for the CL this season and ENIC back Conte in the summer, they will have the opportunity to improve their quality and potential in all comps, including the CL.

If Conte gets Spurs 4th with this current crop of players I think it will be right up there in his managerial achievements.

And more importantly, ENIC dependent, could mark the beginning of a Spurs revival.

I don't think a draw at Brentford was an awful result, they tanked us at SB and actually deserved to beat us at their place.

The main downfall from the draw yesterday is that you must beat Arsenal, as now a draw probably will not be enough.

For what it is worth, I think you will beat Arsenal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoever finishes 5th to 7th this season will look back and think if only.

Stupid points have been dropped all round and without huge summer investment whoever finishes 4th will struggle to juggle the CL (as unlike the other Euro competitions you have to play your top boys) and Prem campaigns.

Even in our worst nightmares l'm sure none of us could of imagined that Spurs would fail to register a shot on target against Brighton and Brentford but then again the first halves against Newcastle and Villa were rubbish so maybe the warning signs were there?

Our team is set up to catch teams on the break but that system is very reliant on us being infront so the gaps appear as our opponents chase the game. Not creating chances makes getting infront very difficult and it's starting to look like we've been properly sussed out.

Poch back would be intriguing. Could go either way.

Son will stay because of his contract. Kane's contract runs out in 2024 so Levy can outprice him of any move for this summer but he needs a new challenge.

I really hope Conte leaves in the summer. His brand of football without a backup plan if plan A is not working is becoming dated. His formation and tactics are not for us because he needs solid players in every position and he won't get those players at Spurs.

The Spurs squad is one dimensional, not Conte.

Conte is the best manager you could have to squeeze every drop from the worst Spurs squad I have seen for 15 years.

I really don't understand why you think such an average group ofplayers would perform better with a different manager.

We need to accept next season is about City and Liverpool again. Both will be better next season. Chelsea will have new owners and could close the gap on them. They don't even need an influx of cash. They can sell a few players to raise funds but most of their best defenders could leave for free which could is a problem.

We need a massive summer in terms if signing players for the first eleven to even muster a challenge for top 4.

I would take Poch back for his brand of football all day.
If PSG sack him he would be the best manager available to take over from Conte. We would have a feel good factor at least. The only problem with Poch is he doesn't like working under a DoF but he needs one after spunking a load of cash on Ndombele, GLC, Sess and GLC.

I think under Conte Spurs have taken 43 points from 23 PL games, which is a CL qualifying points ratio.

Considering he took over a sh tstorm from nuno and needed some time to work out the best strategy for this team, he has done Spurs proud.

It really is so Spursy that some fans think he should be sacked

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If Conte was so good why could he manage a shot on target against Brentford and Brighton. Outclassed by Potter and Thomas Frank who had several first team players unavailable.

He has Kane and Son to work with so no excuses about the worse squad ect. There are some decent players to manage a few shots on targets at the very least.

Why could he not manage a shot on target?

Where does this lack of investment thing come from? Spurs spend loads.

posted on 24/4/22

We aren't winning the league anytime soon....so shall we give up trying in that also ....!?

Whilst I would prefer us to be winning cups than finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th the goal should still be to do as well as possible.

I don’t remember saying another manager would do better than conte ? I said I think he is off

Conte is very one dimensional….are you telling me no other manager would change formation in the last two games where we have not even had a shot on target ?

To not change things equals one dimensional

It’s fine when it’s working which is against teams that come at us ….when teams sit deep he has no answer…he is paid very well to try something different but he just does like for like changes ….I would agree that it’s the squad not conte if conte proved it by trying something ….its the squad AND conte

We have a very average workman like squad however that doesn’t mean the squad can’t play a different formation

Are you making stuff up to suit your narrative you are trying to peddle?

Unless I’ve missed it from other posters I’ve said I don’t care if he leaves

I never said I wanted him sacked though

Big difference

I don't think many Spurs fans want him sacked but I think we have every right to be surprised and disappointed that such a recently successful manager doesn't appear to have a plan b.

He seemed to learn nothing from the Brighton game as our performance yesterday was virtually the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is your suggestion then?

You don't have one single creative midfielder player in your squad, nor do you have a midfield tempo settter.

Watching Ericksen since his return to the PL, if you got him back he would allow you to play different formation, but right now any other formation would fail miserably.

I don't think you squd offers a plan B, actually i could same the same about Tuchel at Chelsea.

Once we lost our best wing backs, all out pland b and planc have been found wanting.

We are over dependent on Plan A due to the players we have at the club.

If we had defenders more comfortable playing in a back 4, we would not be so limited at times ourselves
