I repeat, in whose place? You think he'll rest Dier or Romero? Or RB instead of Emerson / Doc?
There’s nothing positive to take from last night. That doesn’t mean the club are in disarray or that Conte is shit.
It means we had a seriously fucking awful display in a season that thus far has been pretty promising.
They can cry into their Jacuzzi's whist being massaged by their WAGS.My wife went to bed early because of my shouting at the telly…..
When I went to bed she asks if my millionaire footballers had got beaten by the other millionaire footballers…. Never thought of it like that before.
Lose? Sure.
Lose by being negative, awful and cowardly? Nah

Putting football out of mind for a few days after that, but still disappointed he didn't change something up after 55 or so mins. Sessegnon, Lenglet, Lucas/Gil and a switch to 3-4-3.. even move Perisic to RW. From about minute 15 on it was just an insipid display. Tough game vs Newcastle now, a win important with Chelsea and United facing off at the weekend.
How about you fuck off and stop revelling in our loss instead.
You should try the @ function if you want to engage, though suspect you’re just trolling.
Positives are, it’s only a game, can’t get much worse & a lot of season left to turn it round.
Hugo was excellent & what about our fans singing loud & proud despite a shit performance & long, late trek, back.
Not sure anyone thinks we played well past 10 mins? Doesn’t mean we have to melt down, scream for Contes head & stop supporting our club, our one & only club (at least for most here anyway).
btw that’s a V for victory sign. Don’t cry.

On reflection the most fucking infuriating thing about last night is how we allowed their shitty press to take us off our rhythm.
Chelsea and Woolwich both pressed us really well and forced mistakes to their credit, but we shouldn’t be allowing a front 3 of Rash, Sancho and Anthony affect our first touch in the way it did on so many occasions. We saw it with the goal conceded against Frankfurt too (Dier). We don’t like a press.
We looked so fucking nervous in possession and I don’t think it’s excusable against this Utd side.
When we were playing at our best last season, we seemed to be able to bypass the press more easily with a ball directly into Kane’s feet to feed runs from Son and Kulu either side. We almost invited the press because we liked that pattern of play.
That caused some hesitancy in the press from opponents.
That seems to have been lost as an option, and instead we’re left with mostly average footballers in our back 5 panicking at the first sign of any coordinated pressure.
On top of that the 3 CMs were too flat yesterday, not enough movement into the space between MF and attack to help break that press.
Conte has to think about how we are going to play against high press teams. We don’t have a formula that works right now.

He's not a Spurs fan.
You must be smoking something if you think Levy is going to spend £60m on Ndombele, £50m on Lo Celso and £35m on Sessegnon (who Poch was bigging up before purchase) without Poch having his gonads in a vice.
They are three of the most expensive players that Spurs have ever bought.
Dembele was already a pensioner when he left, and sadly well past his best, so no he wasn't a CL player when he left.
Sadly from 2016 until Paratici arrived (4 wasted years in transfer market) , pretty much all the incoming players were poor, Sanchez (another Poch player after being watched in an EL cup final match) possibly the best of them, which is why our squad is mainly from the pre-Poch era plus players brought in by Paratici and very few from the Poch era.
Welcome to the mad house - BTW good post.
I've always thought that, but assumed it was too simplistic a tacit for the great minds to apply!
Yes, I am being sarcastic!
That should say shot,not shit btw. But thinking about it...
