Whats the point of having a team of 6 footers if they can get bullied by a man midget like Edwards?

Because you can be a tall, stocky, shithouse but 99% of the time there is no substitute for ability and technical skill. We have plenty of the former and not enough of the latter.
We played with good intensity v Fulham, should have won by more. Other games, we look like we are almost holding back.
I feel like there's a bit of method to it. Fancy us to again up the intensity and play Leicester off the park. Good chance we could be top of the league at the end of this weekends fixtures.

Has to start Kulusevski and Richarlison. At the moment the pecking order is Kulusevski - Richarlison - Kane - Son - Gil - Lucas.
Has to drop Emerson. I'd like it to be for Spence, but I'll gladly take Doc playing a couple of games too.
Stellini should tell him that we can make subs once in a while. Bentancur and PEH were dead on their feet, from their body language it was obvious that both were asking to be subbed. I knew that he doesn't like making subs from my Inter supporting mates, but I never remember it being this bad. Even Jose made more subs and he was just as stubborn as Conte.

I want my Spurs back!
This place would be so much happier if we were playing swashbuckling football and losing every week
Do clubs who play good football lose every week? Is it a one or the other type situation? Are we looking likely to win anything under Conte since the league is essentially off the table? If so, what are we going to win? The CL? (lol) or the FA/league cup?
We played fantastic football under Pochettino & won more often than not. Why do people think there's a trade off here? The most successful teams in the world all currently play very good football. Why would being pedestrian and taking first halves off help us win stuff?
Bit of a myth that good football and results are mutually exclusive. Jol, Redknapp, Poch all managed to play good, some great football and be in or around top 4. Could possibly be levelled at Ardiles and Hoddle to an extent but i thought we were just generally bad regardless of football played. The only thing we've ever done playing boring functional football is win the league cup under George Graham and personally have no wish to go back to that.
There's this weird association with playing entertaining stuff & being losers. As if City and Liverpool aren't enjoyable to watch most weeks. If anything the pragmatic caution first managers are the exception to the rule of successful sides being entertaining. And they're a dying breed.
Personally I think Conte will be very displeased with a whole bunch of elements of our play that I can't be arsed to go over. And if a lot of those elements improved we'd be a lot more entertaining. There's no way he's happy with this intensity or the dithering on the counter. That's a this season development.
USE YOUR FUCKING SUBSTITUTES!!
Come on man. For fuck sake. You asked for a squad to compete. They aren’t there just to run up and down the wrong side of the touch line. Should have been out of sight with the talent we have available before we got nailed. And please give Son a break for his own good. He needs to have a couple of weeks watching porn and binge drinking.
Sorted. Quadruple back on.

There are plenty of trans who play attacking football which is either played at good pace or can pass the ball through the thirds. There’s only a few coaches who generally like to play this passive sit off bollocks. We’ve had all 3
His obsession with Emerson is the new Mason playing Winks.
It's getting to the point we need Emerson to get crocked just so we can have some attacking output there.
Truly baffling.

And all three didn't achieve much nor will Conte with his dated football.There are plenty of trans who play attacking football which is either played at good pace or can pass the ball through the thirds.

i think the system works with a left forward who can contribute in buildup against compact sides and a RWB with actual end product.
the system is a right stinker though if you have 1 or 2 weak links that clearly need to be improved on.
4, Simeone is the other one.There are plenty of trans who play attacking football which is either played at good pace or can pass the ball through the thirds. There’s only a few coaches who generally like to play this passive sit off bollocks. We’ve had all 3
Bit worrying that he talked of squad rotation & then didn’t do anything
It's a bit of a shite message to the likes of Doherty, Spence, Lenglet, Bissouma and Lucas that Conte would rather flog the same 11 week in week out despite the awful performances and then moan about everyone being tired.
