we have a promising counter attack and it ends with the ball in the back of our net?

How is that Conte's fault?

He's not immune to anything. If you think his current crop of defenders is good enough, then fair play to you and you should criticise away.

So the question is do you think Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Emerson, Docherty Lenglet and Davies are top 6 quality?

They would be good enough to beat Brentford.

Our problem's are always individual mistakes, bissouma there for example.

It's mental how much we kick ourselves in the foot
Yes and no.

Individual mistakes will always happen - but good teams cover for each other better than we seem to be able to do.

We just need about 10 signings in this window and our performances might start to pick up.
We need our very highly paid coach to stop making a squad of players who finished 4th last year look like a pub team. It’s such an easy out to just say we need better players

His insistence on playing 5 of them in every starting line up deserves enough criticism

Majority of this squad is not good enough. That’s the problem. Going to take many years to fix this utter mess. On & off the pitch.
But would we want any of their mids in our squad? And yet they are outplaying us. It’s not just Brentford, the whole of the bottom half of the Prem outplay us for the majority of games. They just can’t get the victories over he line.

Players like tanganga still being at the club is where alot of our problem's are....
I’m sure somebody said that most football clubs need squad players. I thought squad players weren’t quite as good as first team players but may be needed to play in certain circumstances. Judging by your comment I was obviously wrong.

Son has to play the runner there, not the man standing still with a man on. That really is footballing 101.

Exactly, our defensive pool is one of the worst in the league. 4 of that 6 weren't good enough when Poch got the sack yet somehow we are supposed to make them work now?

Conte at Tottenham is never going to work. No chance we’ll back him in January. His football is dreadful. Honestly think he’ll walk or be pushed.

We start matches way too passively. We invite pressure and we are generally punished for that. I mean we have conceded first in our last nine competitive matches, which is shocking really.

Some of that is obviously due to a lack of quality in the team. But we have been trailing teams like Leeds, Forest and Bournemouth. Can we really say clubs like Forest and Bournemouth have better quality squads at their disposal than we do? I don’t think so.
