Conte | Spurs Manager

PepG said:
Predictability is one of his biggest flaws, yes, but what i want to point out has nothing to do with it. Reactive coach in my definition is every coach who counts mainly on the mistakes of the opposition on and off the ball - his plan is a reaction to what the opposition do. Proactive coaches are the ones with clear plan on how they want their teams to play and take the game to the opposition. Conte is a reactive coach by definition because his teams are not the ones that set the tempo of the games and control the outcome. That doesnt mean that his plan is not clear or that he doesnt want to win these games. On the contrary his system when executed properly is a very effective way of winning.

Yeah, by your own definition then Conte is a proactive coach
 
Shame their players can't be bothered to show up against midtable or bottom sides. They have enough quality up top to secure fourth.
 
They can make top 4 if they hold their own in the easier games.

Both the signings will significantly improve them.

Kane being back to form will be crucial.

I think Conte falls somewhere in the middle. He's neither proactive nor reactive.

With him it really depends on the circumstances. I have seen him actively go for both the approaches.

Would you classify Ancelotti, Ferguson, Prime Mourinho as reactive or proactive coaches?
 
Ferguson changed through the years. Ancelotti is sort of a reactive-proactive coach, generally proactive but always with a reactionary subtext. Mourinho was a reactive manager, his entire approach was in stopping the opposition

Agree. Ole after getting destroyed by Liverpool decided to played 5 at the back, and played counter against Man City earlier this season. Without proper coaching, bodies are meaningless seeing how City played us off the park despite being on their second gear.

So what about all the times ole beat Pep?

Did you understand what I even said about Ole switching to back 5 for the game earlier this season just to add another defender while Ole himself has no long vision for having a wing back system (in comparison to Conte's fame with his wing back system)? Convenient bolded a part while ignoring the whole post, ignoring context of. Ole-In-ist triggered?

Now we're at it, let's play the comparison game too.

In what circumstances? How long from the time Ole takeover to Ole's first win against Pep?

Which team creates better non penalty chances (xG)? What about Sterling missing sitters?

What about the other time Conte won against Pep in the league, and made use of the result and actually won the league? Winning dead rubber games, and losing the games that matter (those league cup games), what about that?

Orange vs Apple. Only look at result, not circumstance, nor how the game was played with your what about-ism. There is a joke right now among my Spurs fan anout City players are so nicely fair play that they picked up the ball quickly to restart after the penalty, so Tottenham could get the winner. There is truth in that. This game City created less clear chances than Tottenham. Tottenham attack with more purpose and City struggled to contain Tottenham all games beside those 3 goals.

Thats actually not correct.
Under Conte, Spurs do turn up for every PL opponent. In every game, team put the effort but points drop been only down to concentration issues or individual errors.

With Dier back in lineup again, playing with Romero for just 2nd time with Dier- there is huge scope for improvement in terms of defensive quality.
Kulusevski & Bentancur ran 13km each against City, and created chances.

Spurs can easily go on a run from here - if they can keep the spine of the team fit

I don't think that will stop. Your players have these errors in them. That's their level. Errors will keep coming when you least expect them. Against Southampton, you didn't deserve the lead but you had it going into the last 15 and your individual errors somehow blew it. The Wolves game was completely ruined from the start by silly mistakes, including one from Lloris, your captain. And he almost did it again at City gifting them the 1-1 goal.
 


Incredible the impact he's had. What a manager. Spurs squad looked absolutely dead when he arrived.

Also shows Ralf has made serious progress of late albeit with favourable fixtures.

That can be said for United and Arsenal too and it's not as easy it's being projected.
 
All this nonsense about Eric Dier and Romero being prime Baresi/Maldini together and then they lose to Burnley :D. Yikes, this is going to end so badly for Tottenham. Down in 8th place, it’s even worse than I thought. Behind Wolves on merit after 24 games and perhaps six points behind Arsenal too, wow.
 
Eek, their last 5 PL games read: LWLLL

I don't know who will be crying louder, Spurs fans or City fans. :lol:
 
If I was a fan of Brentford, Leeds or Everton - I would be worried - because I am convinced one of those 3 teams will go down....at least one
 
Who was it on here I was arguing with about how dire things are at spurs again? I don't have time to go back just a few pages because I am quite sure they aren't worth my effort again.

I was watching united game, but I could only imagine how dire this game was to not score at burnley
 
Prick, beats City to hand Liverpool the momentum for a title charge then loses to burnely :mad:
 
It would be funny if he gets the sack before the end of the season. As stated before coaching spurs is different from coaching a top club. It is much harder than some think. Even with all their talents, they are bottling a top four place

Ahh love it when people use bottling like it's expected we should get top four when it's clear we have the weakest squad out of all the teams fighting for top four.

You had the points to get top four. Many people saw you as favorite, but then constant losses to team you should have beaten is basically what bottling is.
