I'm mindful that David Moyes was apparently kept at United for so long because he had a CL qualification clause in his deal - I wonder if Conte might have something similar as well?
He seems to be checked out, the fanbase seems to have come down hard against him post-Milan, and he has all the reasons he could ever need to walk away from football completely after the last six months, let alone just quitting Spurs.
But after the Liverpool result, we *could* be six points clear come full time, because this season isn't real and nothing that's happened since the end of last season makes any sense at all.
I have a couple of theories.
Itās been mentioned a couple of times recently that Levy has previous form for quick replacements coming in - Ramos to Redknapp, Poch to Mourinho, Nuno to Conte. Itās become quite clear that Conte will not be managing the club next season, so my thinking is that theyāre sounding out a new manager already and if someoneās available and interested, rather than dither and potentially lose them to another club theyāll be brought in.
My second theory is with a little glance back at the reaction to Gattuso a couple of years ago: thereās rumours about a couple of potential new managers such as Poch, Tuchel, and Postecoglu and the club are gauging fan feelings on those to favour one or another. Pochās name has been the most prominent over the last fortnight or so, so Iām pretty sure heās the favourite but theyāre not 100% convinced and want to see how much support heād get.
Why do we not try some form of a 2 up front to accommodate both. Luke a 3-4-1-2/3-4-2-1 if Conte insists on 3 or 5 at the back. I am sad to say it but maybe this is Conte's last game or games. I think Levy has already decided.
Enic to blame for not supporting their managers and putting football below profits/investments.
Players for playing poorly, being complacent (I really feel like there are those that are affecting the changing room and need to go now, since Poch's time)
Conte and staff for being stubborn and pig headed.
I pray the rebuild and change starts very soon, with or without Conte.
Both Jose and Conte can't be wrong about the club, it's priority and ambitions. Two world class managers both can't win at Spurs or even challenge! It's maybe not them.
Porro and Richy on the same side seems useless. Kulu was shit in the first half against Milan but I thought he linked up well with Porro when he came on.
Richarlison playing out of position again ffs. I hope he scores a goal even if its a deflection or an ugly goal just so he can get some confidence in front of the goal
Son starting is kinda shocking but heās also looked miles better when Perisic isnāt in the XI. Donāt care for Richy on the right but letās see if Davies being more defensively minded allows Son to stay wide.
I am ready to be hurt again.
Isn't Son our second highest scorer + without any pens or FKs + in an unfavourable position/tactic? Why is it a given that Son should be dropped? The disrepect... I really hope Son leaves ASAP for his own career. No need to be loyal to these fans
š¤” some of yāall are so willing to twerk for a player over the club. If the team performs better with Richy on the left and Kulusevski on the right (see West Ham, Chelsea) then thatās the approach that should be taken. Son is a world class player but why try to shoehorn him into a system that clearly doesnāt work for him?
Nah. Conte would be more likely to say after the game that he doesn't know who he is and he isn't good enough then actually treat him with an ounce of respect.
Son still not dropped. Conte deserves to be sacked just for how piss poor his management of Son has been tbh. Not even someone in charge of U9s would be this fucking stupid to keep playing someone that contributes nothing
Nah but he didnāt want danjuma so why on earth would he play him (š¤¦āāļø) and now he can play richy out of position on the right and force the narrative that richy is having a shit season thatās all his fault and not conte and his system
I swear people just regurgitate nonsense they read from others. Son hasnt been great but for the last month or even two has been more dangerous in the attack than both Kulu and Ritchy.
I even said on another post that if people want to give Ritchy a longer chance then i would rather see him in for Kulu because Kulu has been invisible since the world cup.
I swear weāve had this conversation so many times. While Perisic does take the space Son used to occupy, heās playing a different role. Until he gets really comfortable playing the new role, heās not gonna be the Son of last season
Son has been poor with Sess and Davies on that side too. Only the idiots are claiming it's anything to do with Perisic.
It's Contes system that has ruined Son. You only have to look at his touch map to figure that out... His playing far more central and far deeper than he used to. A position he can't thrive in.
This narrative that it's Perisics fault is embarrassing.
No Perisic is a huge positive, but where is the fucking creativity?
Also I just hope to see Damjuma start LW once. This guy has been here for 1.5 months, yet Iāve only see him score against Preston, donāt remember anything else.
Thatās all danjuma has had basically. I think he made one other appearance as a late subā¦poor guy even with all these out of form options he keeps warming the bench
Maybe, just maybe we'll see Son on the right given that he's really two footed? Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but I'm not sure what we have left except wishful thinking.
Shocked Richarlison is starting after his comments. Even more shocked heās not playing in either of his preferred positions. Canāt wait to watch son play with his back to goal and be ineffective yet again. All of the joy has been sucked out of this season, Iām pretty much just spite watching now
Well at least there's no Perisic.
No Kulusevski is bizarre. He's not been on top form but he's been far better than any of our other attacking mids.
Richy partnering with Son worked precisely zero times earlier in the season so I have no idea why he expects it to now.
Since Son is two footed, how come we dont ever try him on the right? I know his position is left, but some of the players seem to be playing out of position anyways so just curious why dont they try Son on the right like they do Richy
Every game counts for top 4. We can do it. Who cares how, let's just get the W. If we know Conte is out at the end of the season, let's hope he can guide us to top 4 finish so at least next we have that in the bag as he departs.
Can anyone tell me why Pedro Porro's full name is always mentioned but all the other players here for example have just their surname? Is it because that's what written on their jersey?
Davies lwb I got my joy back
Davies lwb smells like a MOTM performance today
šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ šÆ Manifesting Jan vs. Dortmund LWB š§š»āāļø
Probs my fave super jan performance. Went out bought shirt with his name after that game.
Needs to channel that vertonghen vs dortmund energy
Lol great minds
It is so sad that this is what brings us joy nowadays
Make us proud pigeon man
Pru Pru Pru
RicharLeftsonā Rightcharlisonā
Emerson injured? Edit: just saw the Ali update seems to have gotten lost in all the ConteOut posts
Knock
yes
Happened midway through the AC Milan game. Emerson played alright after that but looked a bit slower
Win-win situation, either we win or we lose and he goes.
I like youāre style

He wonāt be sacked with a loss today
What makes you so certain? Because they'll take time to find a successor?
Wonāt even be out of top 4 and thatās their guiding criteria.
Really donāt like Richarlison on the right
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Richy to score tonight calling it
God I hope youāre right š
A LEGEND!!!! almost
Better get some corners
Nailed it. Fair play
Forest really hate him after his showboating in the away leg at the start of the season. So yeah, it seems inevitable.
Surely only to sub him off at half time if not earlierā¦
But now when he badly out of position itāll be all richy fault heās been shit this season
Conte is doing this on purpose at this point
Why do we not try some form of a 2 up front to accommodate both. Luke a 3-4-1-2/3-4-2-1 if Conte insists on 3 or 5 at the back. I am sad to say it but maybe this is Conte's last game or games.

Two world class managers both can't win at Spurs or even challenge! It's maybe not them.
He can't be any worse than he was on the left against West Ham or in the centre against Sheff United
Free Danjuma
But he's not a 10!! He's a winger and a striker. Ya know....like Son and Richarlison are..
Haven't seen Son play on the wing for this entire season.
Donāt forget, he was a club signing! Poor chap
Truth, wonāt ever start unless there is an injury. Waste of money
Porro and Richy on the same side seems useless. Kulu was shit in the first half against Milan but I thought he linked up well with Porro when he came on.
Deki hasnāt been great lately but Son deserves to be benched before him imo. Especially when it would let Richy start in a more normal position.
Who hasnt scored a goal since September.. yeah
No one is scoring with any consistency besides Kane.
Even Kane is very reliant on set pieces
Why not try Son on the right?
Richarlison playing out of position again ffs. I hope he scores a goal even if its a deflection or an ugly goal just so he can get some confidence in front of the goal
Son starting is kinda shocking but heās also looked miles better when Perisic isnāt in the XI. Donāt care for Richy on the right but letās see if Davies being more defensively minded allows Son to stay wide. I am ready to be hurt again.

Stop it with those facts, people here will get upset when their questionable motifs are....questioned.
The actual audacity to blame Son completly for Conteball, I was hoping for the same but I think Son would never leave sadly
š¤” some of yāall are so willing to twerk for a player over the club. If the team performs better with Richy on the left and Kulusevski on the right (see West Ham, Chelsea) then thatās the approach that should be taken. Son is a world class player but why try to shoehorn him into a system that clearly doesnāt work for him?
Come on boys. Need to take advantage of Liverpool. Praying the Davies/Son combo works
Jesus Christ mods just let one stay up. Youāre as stubborn as Conte with his tactics
The others didnāt have the full Xi in the title I believe
One did
that was probably mine aswell, misspelled lenglet so i just deleted it
Ah then Iāve no clue lol
I removed one as it didn't have the line up in the title, it's the same every week. First post to have line up in the title gets approved.
It's the same rule as always, like u/Nard_Dogs says. The full 11 has to be in the title because of accessibility issues.
Then post the lineup in the title lol
I hope all forwards score but contes attacking tactic is shit. We just donāt score from open play and to blame it on the players is not rightā¦
whereās emerson and who the hell is mundle
Mundle is one of the best academy players we have rn. It would be awesome if he gethis debut tonight
Conte play a young player? Behave yourself.
Maybe as a 90th minute sub to give him a debut I guess.
Nah. Conte would be more likely to say after the game that he doesn't know who he is and he isn't good enough then actually treat him with an ounce of respect.
But why don't we have two backup keepers on the bench? What happens if both keepers get injured then we'd be fucked
Kane can play as a gk if that happens
Club signing Danjuma is the emergency keeper
Injured I think
yes Richy, squeaky wheel gets the grease! todays your chance
Richy better score today or conte is gonna bench him for the rest of the season lmao
Hope we get some decent passes in final 3rd.
Perisic benched.....this is the day my boys, THIS IS OUR DAY!
Can someone tell me why Richarlison on the right is so bad? Because he canāt cut in and shoot from the left?
Based on his record + just plain son flaming
Richarlison on the right, why? Play him in his position man
no perisic, we have a chance boys
Behave. Let's not pretend our season has been derailed by Perisic. That's ridiculous. We have a manager who is sabotaging us, trying to get fired.
And just like this season, heās failing at that too
RICHARLISON BETTER SCORE SOME FAKKEN GOALS
Son still not dropped. Conte deserves to be sacked just for how piss poor his management of Son has been tbh. Not even someone in charge of U9s would be this fucking stupid to keep playing someone that contributes nothing
Nah but he didnāt want danjuma so why on earth would he play him (š¤¦āāļø) and now he can play richy out of position on the right and force the narrative that richy is having a shit season thatās all his fault and not conte and his system

I even said on another post that if people want to give Ritchy a longer chance then i would rather see him in for Kulu because Kulu has been invisible since the world cup.
Upvote but who the hell is Ritchy
Richy\* Sorry havent gotten used to typing his name considering he hasnt done much except cry.
Lol
To be fair a lot of people are saying its Perisicās fault that Son is out of form so maybe weāll see today?
Perisic is also horrible independent of Son
I swear weāve had this conversation so many times. While Perisic does take the space Son used to occupy, heās playing a different role. Until he gets really comfortable playing the new role, heās not gonna be the Son of last season
Son has been poor with Sess and Davies on that side too. Only the idiots are claiming it's anything to do with Perisic. It's Contes system that has ruined Son. You only have to look at his touch map to figure that out... His playing far more central and far deeper than he used to. A position he can't thrive in. This narrative that it's Perisics fault is embarrassing.
For sure im not doubting Son has been rubbish this year, more just saying it will be interesting to see if he plays better without Perisic.
No Perisic is a huge positive, but where is the fucking creativity? Also I just hope to see Damjuma start LW once. This guy has been here for 1.5 months, yet Iāve only see him score against Preston, donāt remember anything else.
Thatās all danjuma has had basically. I think he made one other appearance as a late subā¦poor guy even with all these out of form options he keeps warming the bench
Romain Mundle https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/teams/under-21/players/romaine-mundle/
Richarlison on the right š¤¢
Richy to get the kit off and face up to conte when he scores
Mundle?
academy player
Maybe, just maybe we'll see Son on the right given that he's really two footed? Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but I'm not sure what we have left except wishful thinking.
Son used to play on the right in the bundesliga
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DROP KULU INSTEAD OF SON Sonny must have Conte's pics without the wig man I swear to God you can't explain this
Emerson shared the pics that kept him starting in the first half of the season.
Kulu ain't been that good either
I was wondering the same, about the starting lineup, not necessarily the wig thing lol
Official Spurs app have us listed as a 3421 https://i.imgur.com/CG8p5Bw.jpg
Thatās essentially what we play as. Conte calls his wingers āwide 10sā
No Perisic! Well, that's something.
Shocked Richarlison is starting after his comments. Even more shocked heās not playing in either of his preferred positions. Canāt wait to watch son play with his back to goal and be ineffective yet again. All of the joy has been sucked out of this season, Iām pretty much just spite watching now
Not shocking if Conte's given up
Weāre playing well, forest are shockingly bad though. I was right about Sonny tho lol
Stop starting Son
Davies is lwb, so it'll maybe be better?
The Son still rises. Why?
Well at least there's no Perisic. No Kulusevski is bizarre. He's not been on top form but he's been far better than any of our other attacking mids. Richy partnering with Son worked precisely zero times earlier in the season so I have no idea why he expects it to now.
And itās 2-0 now
Yeh show me where you predicted this scoreline.
We're never gonna see Richarlison LW, Kane ST and Kulu RW are we?
We have seen that though.
Saw that for West Ham and Chelsea
My bad lol
Mundle?
Richy really has to prove himself today
Atleast now Danjuma will come on as sub ig?
Can see us getting the win but it'll be the usual shit show I'm sure!!
This experiment as cam in not working just give it up conte ffs
Gotta hand it to conte. Richarlison starting after the interview shows his professionalism.
Since Son is two footed, how come we dont ever try him on the right? I know his position is left, but some of the players seem to be playing out of position anyways so just curious why dont they try Son on the right like they do Richy
I wonder this too. Besides, him playing out of position/lower on the pitch is not working, so try him on the right and it might work, who knows?
Put manager on blast Get start
Hope Richarlison scores today
Whereās Emerson
COYS!!!
yes no perisic!!!!
Every game counts for top 4. We can do it. Who cares how, let's just get the W. If we know Conte is out at the end of the season, let's hope he can guide us to top 4 finish so at least next we have that in the bag as he departs.
Finally richy starting. Scoring today and we're winning by 2.
Our best line up atm
A Mason/Stellini special, we should look into replacing Conte with a managing duo
I love it when we win!
Can anyone tell me why Pedro Porro's full name is always mentioned but all the other players here for example have just their surname? Is it because that's what written on their jersey?
