    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I started watching the Juve All or Nothing today - I wonder if people will agree with me that it feels very different to the Spurs one. Clearly different clubs, different histories etc. But what is clear is that everyone in that club is utterly obsessed with winning. Nothing is good enough...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    This is actually really interesting. I was thinking it with the Europa qualifying results / performances under Jose. He did start calling it out, saying something to the effect of it is cold, the players have had to travel a long way, and they don’t look like they are into it. I wonder if...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I’m not saying Levy listened to those players, or based the result of whether to keep Jose solely on that poll, but the poll happened and it would have had some effect, from a ‘has he lost the dressing room?’ kind of perspective. But really my point was more that these players, that are...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Goddam I miss Poch. Takes ‘I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed, but I’m actually fudging angry’ to a whole new level. Calm, but very clearly stating those players have ruined the weekend for his family, wife, sons. Brilliant. Matter of fact that some of those players would not be with us for...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Completely agree with @harr1984 and I hope Jose is looked back upon in a slightly better light. There is a very obvious mentality problem in this squad, which was the entire thing he wanted to change. But he was never backed to be able to do it. I hope Conte is. Still makes me laugh that we...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Will be very interesting to see what the actual truth was if it ever comes out about this summer. As in, the line the club is now spinning, Conte included, about him not being in the right mental space. Is that true? Or was he perfectly willing to come if he got the exact same assurances we have...

    *** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Everton - OMT ***

    West Ham look great right now, but we’ve been in their position before of looking fantastic in the first half of the season and then slipping just enough to let the chasing pack in. I’m very confident in Conte and our team under him. We looked like we had the requisite intensity against...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I guess I meant from a ‘who does the club side with in a dispute about the current manager being too mean’ perspective. I think now, I’m pretty sure they’ll be on Conte’s side. As for selling players when we should…I have no idea. I’d like to think so but it is up in the air. At least we have...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I agree with what you are saying. What I love about the Conte hire is there really will be no excuses for the players. He has won big things too recently. You can’t lean on the idea that he’s run his course like Poch, is too marmite like Jose or supposedly out of his depth like Nuno. These...

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I’m not sure Son is right in that Hazard role a little in behind Kane. I think he’s better high up, getting on to through balls and finishing. Dribbling one on one. He came very deep today and I don’t think passing in more congested areas is his forte. Maybe with coaching he’ll get better. But...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    It was a swing for both. No one should deride him given the issues in our dressing room. Similarly, I think he needed to be doing an unarguably good job results wise to keep the job given how he got the role. The moment that it seemed like the belief just wasn’t there the understandable call to...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think the truth is in the middle of the muddle of it all. I can’t understand why Nuno didn’t play 3 at the back, because the squad looks instantly deep and well suited to it. Not to say we can’t improve, but it looks like what it has been built for. I think Nuno was an appointment because...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    Yes, I totally agree with this. My problem isn’t with the press. Because when times were good under Poch, there were no leaks. Every member of the squad was bought in and realised that they didn’t want to ruin something that was clearly very special. So the players and the people close to them...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    I can’t fudging stand these articles that come out when our Manager gets sacked. Always some taco ‘close to our squad’ that can’t help running their mouth. It was that Poch was too ‘my way or the highway’, and Jose was too loose with his training, and now it’s that Nuno wasn’t as charismatic as...

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    I’m quite curious about this too. Maybe he thought he didn’t have the authority with the players to try such a change? Weird though as our squad seems more suited to it. We just didn’t seem able to create chances in the 4-2-3-1.

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    I think we will maybe have to alter between 3-4-3 and 3-5-2. Depending on how the opposition usually sets up or what injuries we get. We’re perfectly suited to 3atb with Dier, Romero, Sanchez, Japh, Rodon and Davies. Wing backs perfectly suited. Then the rest of the team…I think our...

    Paratici has something to answer for with the Nuno appointment. But there’s a great thing about this in that because he is trusted, we built the squad he wanted to build, and now his next pick won’t be drastically in need of a squad rebuild. It’s the DOF plan working in action as it should. A...

    Exactly what this squad needs. Let’s do this.

    Nuno Espírito Santo - Sacked

    That was a really interesting part of that article. I find the idea that our players take a poll on whether the manager should continue to be a big part of the problem, but it is super interesting. I also imagine a few other players would have said Jose in, but realised as much as he was...

    The New Next New Manager Thread

    Agree with almost every word of that. (Just disagree about Nuno never being good enough) I think our club is struggling to understand our place in the game. I think we appointed Nuno thinking we could go back to the start of the Poch cycle, but the club has changed. We pay proper wages, have a...
