** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v palace - **

im sure Conte going to take the blame for this one, but, not sure what a manager can do when players suddenly cant pass a football more then 2 yards. All the players have been absolutely terrible, and thats nothing to do with tactics

What do they do on the training field?
 
Not one for being a body language expert but Conte just looks cooked....trudged off with a blank look, I would be raging after that last 25 mins

Which isn't an issue if you hold the ball up and have movement to move the opposition shape.
But we don't, so we just their CM and a CB a free run, with momentum, at our central two.

Even dropping one in the hole behind a front two might help. Or get a wing back to tuck inside, just to narrow the midfield space.
It's a mess.
The players don't suit this formation.
The players don't want to fight for it.
The manager has no other ideas.
The manager can't motivate.

Only one solution.

Sack the latest manager and move to Plan E. Allow 12 -18 months for new manager to add some of his own players to the core who have failed for years now; allow results to slide; then sack and repeat.

It does have something to do with tactics. If the players are hounded constantly because we're outnumbered in key areas, they inevitably there will be mistakes
 
We just don’t have the personnel to maintain any sort of play up the field.

7 defensive players
The most out of form forward in the league
A kid
A class player who’s labouring a bit

There isn’t another team in the league that will offer less goal threat than that.

Also - our plan seems to be to get it wide to the wing backs but then only Kane is in the box, no one joins from midfield and the opposite wing back doesn’t even fill the back post.

What is the actual plan!?
 
Good first 20. fudging atrocious after that. Kane and Son are particularly awful. Kane looks like the yellow is on his mind. Son looks like Clark Kent in Superman 2.

fudge me, dunno what Conte should do here.
 
We looked ok for 20 mins, but when gil and perisic got space and looked to pick someone out there was nobody there.
And I've never harry be so consistently far away from crosses in the box.

Until Dier retires and then the sky is the limit!
 
Started well, regressed to mean. Skipp has had a horrid half, but he's expected to be rusty. The rest, well Gil has been poor but positive I think. He's at least trying to make something happen, and could have had a goal and an assist in 10 minutes with a little luck.

How did Eddie Howe lift Saudi Sportswashing Machine's performances 100% when joining?

We don't seem to have a system to suit the players. A manager needs to get the most of out his squad

Bigger picture though is that Conte and Spurs are mis-matched. He needs a team of finished article players, and then wins titles. We wont have that for years
