Popular Post AKCJ Posted 24 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 24 February 2022 Conte is a full on headcase. No chance was he ever the right man at the right time for Spurs. He should have waited until the summer for the United job to become available. Spurs should jack it in and aim for someone like Potter (or Rodgers) in the summer. Both would suit their club much better. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of us offloading him without financial pain are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMike Posted 24 February 2022 Share Posted 24 February 2022 Antonio Conté is such a kn*b! He has to make EVERYTHING about HIMSELF. Such a self centred g*t. Everyone must have questioned his "lets get rid of FOUR midfielders in january and rely on Skipp and Winks" ....but No.... ......he knows best! Tw*t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 24 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 24 February 2022 The only surprising thing about the Conte situation (beyond him taking the job in the first place) is that he's lasted this long. Think he's an unbelievable manager to be honest but Tottenham was absolutely the single worst place for him to go. From the squad in place being pretty much the opposite of what he needs to the fact he left Inter because they couldn't meet his ambitions but Spurs are skint. The whole thing was bonkers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that after the man city result they’d be so lack lustre in this one Kane was showing Pep what he was capable of doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and what a mistake it was not buying him. 100m on a left winger, a position they don't even need, when they could have spent 150m (or whatever was quoted) on an outstanding striker which is a position they do need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great, but unfortunately I don't see Watford putting any sort of run together, unless @Super_horns signs a deal with the devil that declares the town to be a London suburb. Beat Burnley and Leeds and I think we're out of the picture. The problem is, I don't think any of us are confident that we'll come away from those games without dropping at least 3 points.

If that was Rodgers acting in the same way how would the Conte respecters react? Conte is another 1 of those I’m bigger than the club types, I want full control, i need £200m per season if you want me to challenge for top 4 and to the media my hands are tied what does the club expect me to do if they not happy they can get rid of me. Yeah, he's basically Mourinho but with an incredible hair transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy insists on hiring this type of manager, then refuses to give them the huge resources in player investment their respective "geniuses" actually require to succeed. There's only one boss at Spurs. So Conte is just the latest manager - ENIC marriage heading for a nasty divorce. Do the same thing over and over and expect different results ...

I understand statistics, I'm just not sure how it's gained such a cult following and people are making a living out of it, when it really doesn't add much value. Like why are people trying to explain how Palace should have essentially scored 0 goals but scored 4... like why would you want to do that? What's the need? What purpose does it serve? No Palace fan is coming away from winning an away game 4-1 and thinking '****ing hell though Brian, the xG folk have said we deserved nothing so maybe we should have the points taken away' All feels a bit bitcoin fanboy to me.

I probably sound about 80... i'm 31, just cynical I don't know what you expect from xG stats. No-one's saying they should be more important that actual goals or points or anything. They just tell you about the amount and quality of chances created. Re: Watford v Palace - the xG tells you that Palace were extremely lucky to score 4 with the chances they made. That's all, really. If you're not at all interested in that, you can just ignore it, can't you? The bitterness towards it seems very strange to me. Do you have a problem with any other stats? Shots, shots on target, etc.? Edited 24 February 2022 by Raw Dykes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're right I could ignore it, I just used the example above because I thought in the days before all this, it would have been a simple 'Watford are very shit at taking chances but quite good at creating them and Crystal Palace are a bit shit at creating chances but dead good at taking half chances' I've not got some mad hatred towards it, i'm just not sure what it adds is all. re-shots/shots on target - That's a simple stat really isn't it, more about counting than any sort of analysis, there's no formula/algorithm behind it, they act as more of a memory refresher for fans.
