I argued exactly the same for Conte and Jose so I'll repeat what I said for both of them.I absolutely am not spouting any twitter knee jerk nonsense. You tell me how I am wrong in my estimation he has been figured out and we are sitting ducks to any team. Our performances since end of October have been poor. I initially taught this was to do with suspentions and injuries but as players have returned performances have still been poor. This is pre Poch Tottenham, easy to play against and easy to beat
Hiring a manager with a specific style and principles of play, means he needs specific players with specific skill sets to make that work. This is 3 managers now Levy has hired in this mould and 2 of them didn't get all those players they needed. They got a token gesture and then some others to make up the numbers.
Either hire flexible coaches, or back one sufficiently and see it through.
And before anyone starts going on about how much was spent for Conte or Jose when I say backing them sufficiently I mean with players they want and need, not players they haven't asked for(regardless of how good they are) but cost a lot of money.
