    Match Threads Spurs Vs Man United

    I don't think so. We reverted to 5 at the back, having briefly switched to 4 when Danjuma came on.

    What about Kulusevski and Romero? And Bissouma makes their bench at least.

    Team shape

    I realise it requires new signings but the two I've suggested seem likely enough, don't you think? And we desperately need an alternative to this turgid 5 at the back. I think Romero works in a back 4, but agree he needs to calm down a bit. Graham Roberts had similar issues but did v well in a...

    Well, this thread really captured the imagination, didn't it?

    Team could be Lloris Royal/ Spence Romero de Vrij Sess Biss/Hojbjerg Bents Deki New AM Son Kane De Vrij is obvs just an example. God, we're shit at full back, aren't we.....?

    Team shape

    I can't see any particular tactics thread at the moment. Shoot me down in flames if there is and I've missed it. Our shape is all wrong it seems. We just can't get the balance right between defence and attack with 3/5 at the back. No matter if it's 343 or 352. We're doing an awful lot of...

    He kept some top defenders out of the Barcelona and France teams, so I'm happy to give him a few more chances.....mate.

    Made one mistake (for the 2nd goal) so the kneejerkers want him gone.

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Newcastle

    The usual overreaction to a defeat. We played OK today. Probably better than we have in some of our wins this season. But we were up against a decent well drilled well motivated side. Conte is not a disaster based on today, and the squad don't all need upgrading based on today. If we got in a...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Is Conte's family not over here in London with him?? That's a bit of a worry, imo.

    The lack of coherency in our recruitment strategy

    I'd be delighted with Brozovic, De Vrij and Lamptey. Throw in a back up striker (maybe on loan) and we've pretty much solved all our major deficiencies.

    Traore has a good attitude apparently. You wouldn't say the same about any of those three.

    I can't see Davies being wing back.

    So what's wrong (fitness wise) with Skipp, Moura and Reggie?

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    We don't know that though, do we? If Rodon played and assume Sanchez then marked Rudiger instead of Tanganga, maybe he doesn't lose him at the corner and we don't concede. If Sess played and got a couple of decent crosses in maybe we score too. Then we win the game. It's not a given...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I'm a big fan of Conte so far, but there were some odd team selections last night. Why pick Gollini when Lloris is available? - he's already shown he can't be trusted. Why not play Rodon and keep Sanchez in his usual position? Strangest of all, what would make anyone pick Doherty on the left...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Norwich

    The most noticeable difference in our play under Conte is, every time a Spurs player has the ball there are nearly always two or three options in a good position to pass to. In the past they were either hiding or static.

    Match Ratings vs Norwich (H)

    How can people not vote for Lucas after that? Probably his best ever performance in a Spurs shirt (CL semi-final notwithstanding). This is what he always threatens to do but never quite manages. On top of everything, in the first half he had 100% pass completion. (And yes Skipp was excellent...

    The Manager Search 2: Search Harder

    That isn't a fact. It's the United Kingdom of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. So Northern Ireland is part of the UK, not part of Britain.

    Match Threads Vitesse Vs Spurs

    I think the flaw in that argument has been well and truly demonstrated by our transfer business over the past few years. We've tended not to sign many big players (for whatever reason) when we were in the CL, and arguably our biggest signings (NDombele and Romero) both came when we didn't qualify.
