He looks worse now than with Spurs.
My wife and I went to Wolves yesterday.A few observations…… the away pub (Bluebrick) isn’t great ( especially on a cold day) as space inside is very limited. Good carpark though and at £5 for 5 hours much better value than our home parking options. Shortish walk to the ground. The away end runs the whole length of one side of the pitch and is on the lower tier-fabulous view ( we were near halfway line) but very difficult area to generate a significant atmosphere.
As for the game I thought we were excellent first half, as good as we’ve played in recent times, and really should have been one or two up. Second half the Wolves coach realised that their passive set up wasn’t working, completely changed it and slowly and surely they began to gain control of the game.This is what really fucks me off about Conte, it very often feels like we don’t even have a plan A and we most certainly don’t have a plan B. Totally outmanoeuvred yesterday. And all for the bargain price of £15 million a year!!
Easy access back to the M6 and home by 7.30pm.
And now for Milan, probably a case of hope for the best and expect the worst.COYS!!

Kulo runs out of steam... As per most 'wingers' they're impact players and used correctly can be real game changers and over used their impact is greatly reduced.. kulo when he came bac from injury was fresh and he accelerated past a couple of defenders... Haven't seen him do that since those first couple of games after his return...lucus will offer very decent competition and it can work wonders.. you only have to look at Emerson to see current proof.. quality competition works well in football, always has and always will.
He would be sent out on loan, possibly Crackers United?
Why then hire Conti as manager? Who did that? Unfortunately talking about Tottenhams DNA and hiring a Nuno, Conti etc isn't going to work.
Conti is a checkbook manager and not been properly backed. Is always the same.
The one constant in the 20 odd years of failure is enic and Levy. They have no clue how to run the football club and never will.
It was though I think PARTLY because away fans are spread out across the length of the pitch about 10 rows deep - so you get little pockets singing making it hard to get chants going - scoring a goal might have helped !!
Be careful what you wish for. Hard to see it getting better next year.
Agree with all off that - we were right on the half way line too row N
It’s all bollocks! Conte and his tactics cost us. How many games have now lost. You can add 3 more dippers away, manure and bar codes away. Can anyone honestly say we are going to get anything from those games. Contains of sitting back and being passive along with dippers and barcodes hime crowd will destroy us.
To be fair, we hit the crossbar twice and also the post.
On another day we would have romped to the win.
I don't think the performance was bad. Was better than I expected given the starting 11.
In fact it's probably the most in control we've been in ages.
But I still wouldn't have had Son from the start and Moura wouldn't be on my bench, let alone get called into try to salvo a point.
Dier does more for our attack than the latter.
We wouldn't have scored in 180 mins, let alone 90. We had no movement into the box and no plan B. Wolves were comfortable packing the box and let us ping long shots way over the bar or tamely into the keeper's arms. The failure for management to enact any changes is what we really cost us.
Being in control or comfortable means nothing if we can't score.

My lovely wife has bought tickets for comedian

So how many goals was that? If we hit it 5 times, do we get a goal then?
We hit the woodwork three times?
I'm not a genius by any stretch but I do know we can hit the post 100 times and still doesn't equal a goal. and hitting the post doesn't win games.
And I also know what an ad hominem attack is, the last refuge for those without a valid argument.
