who have made this transcription?
because I listened his words and he talked about 3-3-3 and 3-2-4
not 3-2-3 or 2-2-4
it's very strange... or maybe not
Pls stop this..... Even Conte's failed to coherently explain/justify himself......
The fact that Sanchez happened to tumble in the box is neither here nor there and certainly not a tactical matter........... Unless you're suggesting neither Kulu or Danjuma wouldn't have otherwise been in the box throughout the final stages of the game? (Which is of course ludicrous.)
What do you think is a good win streak in the PL out of interest?
Our longest winstreak under Conte.
Big wovsers.
Conte explained or tried to explain he had to keep the team balanced. Did Sanchez or did he not almost get a penalty? I saw close up replays as did most of us. Sanchez was caught on the shin , ok only slightly but I don't think that's by design on the Milan players part.
A lot of people have a downer on Conte right now and he may get the sack but that near pen happened as a result of Contes decision to keep balance while introducing a set piece threat and supporting Porro further up the pitch.
Hating on Conte and jumping to the worst conclusion is too easy and obvious.
I have watched the press conference and I haven't got a problem with anything he said. He even said Romero is not a complete player until he controls himself. A world cup winner who is not a top defender....there you go, it can be done. !! Richi is similar, shoots his mouth off with no justification. Another one who can't control himself.
I read between the lines....if Spurs can't match Contes ambition and stop making mistakes in the market....he won't be signing a new contract.
The club may decide he is poison and try to salvage something. I think Conte is intelligent and capable of winning things with good players......players we haven't got enough of.
Just because Conte gets sacked it doesn't mean the naysayers and the club are right. It's just starting the process all over again, kicking the can down the road.

He will give his all this season, if the club don't provide the standard of player he wants, it's bye, bye.

It's not that we need a 7 game winning streak, but how many 4 game winning streaks have we had under him?
If it was 4 wins, a loss, and 4 wins etc. that would be much more acceptable.
He’s probably not counting son to be fair.
"Balance" is cowardly thinking at such an 'all or nothing stage' of a big knock-out game.
If balance was the concern then WDF is Sanchez of all people even doing in the oppo box anyway......
Lenglet & Skipp (where necessary) ought to have been relied upon to be sufficient cover to stem any oppo counterattacks considering we HAD to score to force ET.
......Such was his scramble to saIvage his credibility; in trying to explain, Conte claimed us to only have 9 men on the pitch FFS!
No it didn't..... It's a simple by-product of a player being challenged in the box. Could have been anyone there in that scenario..... That challenge didn't happen by virtue of who the player was or the position he typically plays.
Porro is an attacking WB deployed in a team that is alleged to depend on attacking WB play...... It shouldn't take the introduction of a CB in those circumstances to push him up for set pieces....
FFS, we see keepers pushing up in desperate, end of game scenarios.... What, do we have to sub on another keeper in the name of "balance" just to allow that to happen now too?
With 30 mins to go; it's a completely different discussion.... At 7 mins to go; it's cowardice and it's stupid.
Assume what you must about my motives and "jumping", but you're wrong. I've been amongst the last to turn on Conte and don't typically call for the managers head.
The bullshit he's spewed out since only strengthens my resolve in this matter.

Of course we'd all (Conte exlcuded) see the irony in that if it were to be true.
That's been his arrogant position all along though. Leaving the whole direction of the club on whether he deems the players good enough. When's the cut off? July? August? September?
Either commit now or bugger off ASAP.
We have 10 outfield players plus a keeper. An outfield player gets sent off that 10 becomes 9.
Isn't that big of him.....
Conte's "complete" comment: Conte isn't a "complete" tactician either.
i.e. Where the facts end and the chosen narrative begins.
"Mistakes"?
He repeatedly pleads for "patience"; but doesn't recognise it's a 2 way street...... If he did he wouldn't be cock-teasing us over a new deal.
Fuck him.... Seems the club (nor the vast majority of the fans) doesn't even want him anyway now.
Sacking Conte won't solve all the clubs ills, but it will remedy one.

It was telling Conte described Danjuma as a club signing as he did Spence. Possibly not the standard of player he wants.
3-2-3 is 8
