    Nah. We really needed City to beat united.

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    With Sess in the team its like playing with 10 men. Really hope he proves me wrong today.

    It would be helped if we left Son or Gil up on the halfway line when we are defending corners and free kicks. After the balls are cleared they immediately come back as we have no out ball. And Son is such a useless defender anyway!

    Don't disagree but the point I was making was that we need more movement from the get go in games. Conte's set up in first halves is far too rigid and doesn't allow players freedom to swop positions, Kane to drop deeper, Son to go central , Kulu/ Gil to come in from the wing. It makes us all so...

    Exactly this. Which begs the question why we didn't do it in the first half? Or indeed in other games? I suspect it is because Conte wants us to play in a very rigid way which brooks no room for individuality. Hence why we look so poor going forward, especially in first halves. Things only get...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Conte seems to stumble onto winning formulas and be dragged kicking and screaming into them rather than being his initiative. From memory, didn't he have a rocky start at Chelsea, then was forced to change formation and never looked back. Same with his reluctantly slow integration of Eriksen at...

    Did anyone else notice the key difference in our forward play between the first and second halves? In the first half , the forwards seemed chained to their starting positions - Son on the left, Gil on the right, Kane central and up top. In the second half they swapped and interchanges so much...

    ** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v palace - **

    The trouble was his body language in the first half when he stood there like a statue. Anyone can get animated when the goals are going in. We need a coach to motivate the team when they are not - ala Villa.

    My thoughts exactly. Criminal behaviour by Conte.

    Bryan Gil

    With Gil now looking like taking the Lucas role in future, still think we need a disrupters style centre forward to play with / instead of Kane. Someone good in the air and can hold the ball up. E.g. A Toney, a Mitrovic or ( younger version) of that WetSpam battering ram in order to complete our...

    Not exactly inspiring words from Conte. Seems to be sulking and blaming the club instead of looking at himself.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

    We need our senior players and our Director of football to have a word with Conte and tell him these tactics aren't working. He needs to change his approach or get out. I still can't work out what changed from the back end of last year to this season. We finished the season with a bang. We had...

    Shame about Kulu. Leaves us short of creativity with zero attacking options on the bench. We have been dealt a hard blow by the World Cup. Richi and Bentancur out injured and Diers loss of form. We really need Son to start performing in the first half today. No excuses. COYS

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

    City away last season was probably Kane's best game for us. He basically beat them single handedly.

    Priority positions this window

    For me, in order 1. Centre back. We can improve on both Dier and Davies/Lenglet 2. A new attacker. When Kulunwas out and with Lucus unavailable, we really looked lightweight there 3 Right wingback. We have three arm. One is not a wingback, one is inconsistent and one the manager for some...

    I agree a midfield three isn't necessarily the answer, but with Son so ineffective especially in the first half, an extra body in there should give us more control, an extra man and more defensive solidity.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

    But when balls are hoofed up, Kane doesn't get them at his feet. Son has been appalling at hold up play and even worse this season when he seems to lose every ball played up to him..
