    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    Sess was the worst player in the park. Maybe equal with Son and Lloris. Our left hand side was a disaster. Sess gave Saka too much room for their first goal and it was the deflection off him that took Hugo by surprise. He got into ga couple of great crossing positions and stuffed them up. He...

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    He I agree he is playing crap but that has a lot to do with how he is being asked to play. He isn't a robot. At his best he played with instinct. That has been ldruven out of him. How many times do we now see him running past Kane?

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    I said he is ASKED to play a regimented defensive shift. That is totally not in his skill set so he invariably fails. It has totally hindered his attacking play. Hence we get a completely ineffective footballer instead of last years Golden boot winner. Conte has stuffed him right up.

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    Conte can't break our dereadful first halves. He must do so immediately or go. He picks the useless Sess to start in the NLD. Madness. Son has been dreadful all season. Conte asks him to do a regimented defensive shift and it has knocked all the flair out of him. Has done the same with...

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    Massive game for Conte too. He needs to prove to us he really has got what it takes.

    Depends which Son turns up. this season's Son and I completely agree with you.

    Nah. We really needed City to beat united.

    *** Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD OMT ***

    With Sess in the team its like playing with 10 men. Really hope he proves me wrong today.

    It would be helped if we left Son or Gil up on the halfway line when we are defending corners and free kicks. After the balls are cleared they immediately come back as we have no out ball. And Son is such a useless defender anyway!

    Don't disagree but the point I was making was that we need more movement from the get go in games. Conte's set up in first halves is far too rigid and doesn't allow players freedom to swop positions, Kane to drop deeper, Son to go central , Kulu/ Gil to come in from the wing. It makes us all so...

    Bryan Gil

    Exactly this. Which begs the question why we didn't do it in the first half? Or indeed in other games? I suspect it is because Conte wants us to play in a very rigid way which brooks no room for individuality. Hence why we look so poor going forward, especially in first halves. Things only get...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Conte seems to stumble onto winning formulas and be dragged kicking and screaming into them rather than being his initiative. From memory, didn't he have a rocky start at Chelsea, then was forced to change formation and never looked back. Same with his reluctantly slow integration of Eriksen at...

    Did anyone else notice the key difference in our forward play between the first and second halves? In the first half , the forwards seemed chained to their starting positions - Son on the left, Gil on the right, Kane central and up top. In the second half they swapped and interchanges so much...

    ** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v palace - **

    The trouble was his body language in the first half when he stood there like a statue. Anyone can get animated when the goals are going in. We need a coach to motivate the team when they are not - ala Villa.

    My thoughts exactly. Criminal behaviour by Conte.

    Bryan Gil

    With Gil now looking like taking the Lucas role in future, still think we need a disrupters style centre forward to play with / instead of Kane. Someone good in the air and can hold the ball up. E.g. A Toney, a Mitrovic or ( younger version) of that WetSpam battering ram in order to complete our...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

    Not exactly inspiring words from Conte. Seems to be sulking and blaming the club instead of looking at himself.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa ***

    We need our senior players and our Director of football to have a word with Conte and tell him these tactics aren't working. He needs to change his approach or get out. I still can't work out what changed from the back end of last year to this season. We finished the season with a bang. We had...
