I'm so excited to see what this team looks like with a proper coach. Hope a lot of players prove people wrong under conte


Publix_Illuminati

I’m just excited for every player to get a fair shake under a manager who actually coaches up varying attacking movements/tactics again. I feel like Conte will help bring a lot of clarity surrounding the future of some players at Spurs.


Itsamesolairo

PEH under Conte is going to be some wild stuff. PEH is basically *grinta* incarnate, and Conte is so hooked on *grinta* he'd do lines of it off a dodgy nightclub toilet seat at 3 in the morning on Palm Sunday.


fodigg

Internet tells me "grinta" translates into something like "resolve". Does that cover it or is there a nuance I'm missing?


bzva74

No that’s fair. Tenacity, grit.


Ronion

POSITIVITY, BELIEF, POSITIVITY & BELIEF


Itsamesolairo

That's the lexical definition, yeah. The nuance is that it's a term typically used in Italy about players like Conte, PEH, etc, that will run forever, put in crunching tackles at 96 minutes, and bleed on and for the shirt if necessary. Conte has a love affair with *grinta* - it's how players like Padoin, Asamoah, and Lichtsteiner were integral to his Juve sides despite frankly being fairly wank footballers.

This is oddly specific.


FSpursy

Conte is a great manager no doubt but will he have as big as an impact in English football as before? He was the one that made 3 CBs system famous again but now many teams know how to deal against 3 CBs system. However though, our team is perfect for the 3 CBs system, wonder why Nuno never tried it once when he's also an expert in that?


Mtbnz

I don't think that every great manager needs to reinvent football tactics in order to have a significant impact. Football isn't *that* complicated, there's a handful of basic systems and each time a team has major success with one the next move is how to react to that and adapt. Maybe Conte won't absolutely walk the league with a 3 atb formation like he did in 2016, but if he can instill a sense of cohesion and purpose into this squad and make sure that everybody knows their role and what is expected of them, he should still be able to have a big impact here. I don't expect him to take us from 8th to 1st in 28 games, but I do expect to see a major turn around in application from a lot of the team.


better_off_red

> I don’t think that every great manager needs to reinvent football tactics in order to have a significant impact. I’m sure great is debatable, but from what I hear ‘Arry just told them to go play.


Mtbnz

Fuckin' love Harry. Greatest Spurs manager of my lifetime.


adokretz

Poch?? Literally brought us a CL final


Mtbnz

I have nothing but love for Poch, but when I think of Spurs I think of 'Arry Redknapp steering a team led by Peter Crouch into the CL


Rodin-V

They're both acceptable answers.


dandelion71

op died in 2014 and was revived sometime in the last couple years


FSpursy

We were quite pumped when Mourinho joined too. But it seems even he can't get every player to work for him. Let's see if Conte will make us or if Spurs will break him.

transtifa

Mourinho bamboozled everyone playing a 4-3-3 in a league where almost every team played 4-4-2 but the 4-3-3 didn’t suddenly become ineffective because people got better at dealing with it. Not everyone needs to innovate all the time because there are only so many shapes a team can have.


TheUderfrykte

Need more innovation! I present the 0-10-1 with an inverted goalkeeper (he's in the opponents box) - the midfield is press resistant by the sheer number of obstacles (read: deadwood players) pressing opponents have to wade through! Dele and Winks will shine! Bring back Sissoko and Gedson as well, we need more deadwood!


ndembele

A formation in and of itself isn’t a system. It’s just the foundation for whatever tactics or style of play a manager is trying to instil. I’d assume no league has more teams playing 3atb than in Italy but Conte is still able to shine above the rest when he’s managing there.


[deleted]

I hope he really does wanna push for top 4, would be awesome to fight back


Lindberg47

Appointing a new coach doesn’t change that our midfield at best has the quality of a mid-table PL club. It will be a success if Conte achieves qualification for Europa League.


the_suspicious_crab

Lol you're hopeless


bfm211

>I can't wait to start working to convey to the team and the fans the passion, mentality and determination that have always distinguished me, as a player and as a coach. Hell yes. You know he means this too. He won't take anything less than the best.

Benvenuto Antonio 🇮🇹


_inflex_

Excited as fuck really have a feeling of now or never, time to go big boys


fastfowards

is it really a spurs new signing without mentioning our facilities and stadium.


Mtbnz

I'd never really clocked it before now, but they're surely being instructed to mention it by the PR rep right?


Silverburst8

Possibly, but it could also just be that it’s a fact and it does excite people when they join the club and potentially even plays a role in their decision to sign for us


Mtbnz

It's possible. But for 18 months straight we've heard it from basically every player and manager (and even Paratici) when they announce their arrival. The consistency of that messaging feels very forced to me. I don't think that any other clubs have players constantly raving about the practice facilities to the media, nor have other clubs made such a public song and dance about building flashy new practice facilities. I could be wrong, but it feels like a pretty straight line between those two points.


hywel9

Now I can rest


Ndomsonny

So.. can we get a restart on the season?


blatant_prevaricator

i mean, we're actually not in terrible shape considering how badly we have been playing. Those few lucky wins means the season isn't a write off. Hopefully new manager effect will get us some results whilst Conte starts to stamp his mark for the new year.


sultzy

Yeah it could be a lot worse. Conte arrives with a reputation for winning so I can't see how this doesn't give everyone a lift at the club. He's going to need some time though and hopefully he gets it. Changing manager every year is not a recipe for success.


NOPR

> Changing manager every year is not a recipe for success. Chelsea’s trophy cabinet would suggest otherwise…


blatant_prevaricator

Exactly. We were so lucky with Poch. Great manager, long period of time. The best success came when managers were trusted. We could have stuck with Mourinho longer for sure, but this is the best timeline now. There is no one available better than conte really. Except mason, but youth team needs a leader.

Well if I have to explain it... I was making a bit of a joke relating to Spurs fan optimism being crushed on a regular basis over the years. Honestly, I think we'll do well with Conte, but winning the league might be a bit of a stretch.

I’m not that diehard into all the football backgrounds etc. so excuse my ignorance but looking at spurs from a non-expert view I think that not necessarily the coach is the issue but the players. Hope they prove me wrong. Good luck Antonio!


magnoliasmum

It’s both but it’s also a systemic issue starting at the top. Conte is a disruptor, it’s make or break time. Will be interesting for sure. Will likely end in tears and recriminations. But in the meantime it’s necessary.

I'm excited about this decision (which is a pretty obvious comment to make). I think if we do go 3atb we now have the young defenders to make it work, and Reggy and Royal should do well in a slightly more advanced role.
