Not good enough, at this point that's OK. A lot easier saying that having gotten the win.

Under Jose and Nuno we’d have sat back, had something like 40% possession and looked to hit on the break. We never looked like losing this, it was just a matter of if we scored or not....but still 100x better than under Nuno with the same players

FifyWho was the ref? He came across as not up to the task
I’m guessing it was the new Australian lad as he was youngWho was the ref? He came across as a real show pony.
didnt see the game! sounds absolutely abysmal performance reading on here.
Royal has no atacking ability ..Aurier was even better. No speed down the outside which is a badly needed option.You have to have both options on each flank. So frustrating it appears today.
... anyway anyway anyway its Spurs...what do we expect. Mr Levy needs to get our scouts thinking caps on..thats if he's
going to sign anyone..
Emerson is, as I said before he signed, not very good. The Sissoko of right backs. Great engine and physique, very little football ability. Every attack died at his feet. Worst player on the pitch.
He doesn’t care the type of player as long as they play his way
His issue today was we didn’t take the chances we created again
It’s what he said in his post match chat on BBC
I think he will be frustrated that his attacking options are so limited. He has one striker, 2 second strikers (if we call son and Moura that) and has to shoe horn Bergwein in as a striker
Everywhere else he does have options. Yes ones that can be improved but options none the less, apart from up top
I do think people maybe wanna go and look at Contes teams in the past
he always plays wing backs and normally has a variety of them (we don’t have that really currently unless he fancies Doherty)
he has two main goal scorers up top and a runner from midfield who gets double figures ish… we only have dele for that latter role and one striker… 1
he gets his defence well organised quickly and allows the two wide CBS to join attacks
his CMs are normally 2 holders, one who is a quarterback type abs one who is an aggressor, plus that runner form midfield
he played 3-4-3 at Chelsea but had much much more time with the players to get them coached
Everywhere else it’s been 3-5-2
people complaining about crosses and also passing backwards (you hear the moans at the ground) are in for a rough time as it’s 80% or his tactics
Good son with Kane is blindingIf we play two up front Son is definitely a clear starting player up front. He is and isn't a striker.
We definitely lack a right wing back option. We played two games with a single day in between and Emerson started both. Emerson was ineffective all game today and was kept on. Doherty isn't an option, he's in the squad.
We don't have a LCB option. Just like Son and Bergwijn "aren't strikers" our other centre backs aren't left centre backs. Capable of playing there, yes, but not a natural fit.
I agree with a lot in your second post. If will take some time, probably a signing or two, but he will keep doing his thing as he should.
The frustration from fans will disappear when we get better at doing what he wants us to do, in part that has to come from signings I think.
This. Not many teams can break down a well organized defense that is on its day. Still, we were creating chances, which is the big difference between Nuno and Conte. They may not have been high quality chances, apart from Son's, but we were constantly giving their defense something to think about. And aside from a 5 minute period in the second half we kept going at them. That's all you can ask for really, so I don't get why some people are slagging off our performance.It’s always really hard breaking down these kinds of teams, Poch struggled. It’s why it’s the hardest league in the world and Pep has spent a fortune building a side to tackle it as he has. Davinson my MoM. But well done Son for that delivery.
Yeah, but at least we got ourselves in positions to attempt 217 shots compared to the single digits under Nuno.that's what 217 shots gets you
Good son with Kane is blinding
Son right now is poor. His control is gash and he receives the ball behind himself too often
We need good son asap
Buy we also need another striker. Someone who can alternate with him and Kane and it’s exactly what’s been missing last 2 games
AgreedSon is great with space to attack. Running in behind, running at players. Facing away from goal, standing still without an obvious path to run with the ball, combination play, not so great.
Another striker probably makes a 3-5-2 a lot more attractive. Right now we have no real trusted options to Kane and Son up front, makes it difficult.
Another forward and a right wing back should be the priority.
Does Conte want creative midfielders? Kessie doesn't sound like one and he's the only midfielder we seem to be getting linked to
So did the draw against Pool. I still can't get over how we missed 3 or 4 one-on-ones and a header over the bar from 3 meters.The 0-0 draw at Sourf'ampton felt like a defeat.
