New Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has an unbeaten record as we go into the November international break, but with a troublesome performance in our victory against Vitesse added to what is now four odd hours without a Premier League goal given the scoreless draw with Everton, he’s got his work cut out for him as we now move towards the Leeds United clash.
With Everton being yet another game without a single shot on target, Conte certainly won’t be helped with our international attackers off for duty – not least misfiring Harry Kane – so his chances of a quick fix over the break will be patchy at best. Everton was, however, a clean sheet, which is a start after more recent leaky performances, but any fan would be hard pushed to say it was a performance you’d have expected to see following the appointment of a ‘name’ like Conte.
For many, that will be a troublesome development of its own as we look to these players and continue wondering why they are now consistently underperforming based on how we know they can play.
It’s an important fortnight, and all we can do is cross our fingers.
They strapped on their spurs for the second half and dared to play the game like it’s meant to be played. What did Conte tell them? To dare is to do? Smart advise, no?
Someone on this site should speak up for playing the right way. It won the match today.
Well a really deserved result .
Jod that is why Conte was hired . The Levy master plan Spend and waste millions on managers ( rather than good quality players ) who were not capable then spend millions on one manager who could be the answer.
If Levy were to buy and sell a couple of players we could finish fairly high up the table .
However let’s not forget that Leeds are 4th from bottom !!!
jod is yet to explain how doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results, makes any more sense. But I assume he feels safe in his reality.
Decent win yesterday. Only the result matters.
We ground out a result but as usual it wasn’t pretty. We are so lacking in midfield creativity. Boring but we won.
