Conte is up and down with his emotions and views no wonder the team is up and down.
That's a brilliant point, howver much we like to blame the team, Conte's antics with his quotes and interviews will be messing with their heads big time, how are they expected to give thier best for him if he's not going to give his best for the club

Oh dear. More myths, absurdities and hypothetical nonsense are coming up. A loss definitely can drive creativity level up for some. Soon we will see tweets commenting the same, reaching the media and journalists and got reported the same junks, while we wonder why.
Did you not see the quotes? ?

All because of our manager, the reaction of some may be over the top but it’s understandable

I mean it's literally him who has said these things

wonder what it says about his coaching that he has 'the most open bunch of players to learning and improving' yet he can't get them to do either ?.

of course i'm being facetious.

can't blame him, fuck knows i want to walk away from this club most of the time.

Don't think he'll walk but also don't think we'll be able to improve the team to the level he needs quickly enough. I think today he realised that. Gutted

He needs to calm the fuck down and focus on beating Leeds. Any team can lose 1-0 at Burnley in the Premier League. These were “the best group of players he’d ever coached” on Saturday. There’s more than one-third of the season left - plenty of time to find more consistency.

What this shows, Conte's shitfit, is that no conversation was ever had for a massive rebuild. He was brought in to make a team out of this sorry pile of shite. Which means Levy was adamant that this squad was up to it, not adamant that he'd rebuild.

Conte is being a child, but the bigger picture here is that Levy has to stop.

I think what it shows is he probably thought in the January window enough wasn’t done, and he probably thinks in the summer window enough won’t be done.

To lose Bentancur and having to play winks, losing reggie and playing Sess, just shows how ghastly our squad is.

That he’s saying the manager change but players and results always stay the same suggests that he feels the club still hasn’t taken on board what needs to be done. That Spurs can’t or won’t learn from their mistakes.

Maybe Levy really did appoint Conte to polish turds, as some of us long suspected. It’s cheaper than buying quality players.

I took it to mean he is saying the managers change while players don't and results stay the same. For me he is asking for backing in a very public manner and after the results in last 6 weeks who can blame him. Who wants to damage their reputation managing some of our lot?! We all know the squad needs serious work and he is just reiterating that albeit probably not in the most helpful way.

I've had enough. You turned on Poch, Mourinho and now you're turning on Conte. Anyone who still backs these players over the manager is a complete and utter moron. How many fucking times do you need the same shit to happen over and over before you realised that the constant here is the squad. This is insanity.

I can't lie though, whatever happens I've lost a bit of respect for him, quitting now or even talking about it is pathetic for someone who's meant to be one of the best managers in the world and he's actually being quite direspectful to the club, imagine if Nuno said this...
The club was disrespectful to Nuno

There’s shake up and then there’s major disruption, nothing he has said tonight is positive in any way

I think it's both. But the fact for me is that I don't mind him causing a disruption if it further helps the longer term cause.

Conte can't do much wrong for me personally, including what he's said tonight. It's the exact same standard that we want the club to hold, for losing as such to be totally unacceptable. It's the mindset of an absolute winner, which we need to instill into the very fabric of this club but we're so far off doing as such as of now. We've been happy to just get by. If the people at the club had their way we'd probably still be putting our hopes into Ndombele, Lo Celso and more years of an under-performing Dele in the hope he'll come good again.
