That schitt show should concentrate a few minds. I’m sure Levy has not forgotten what it was like when we lost 3-0 to a pizz poor United side last season.
Don’t forget that Conte is also his last throw of the dice, he should have nowhere to hide if he can’t make Conte work.
Top 4 is not too late, it’s still there for us but investment has to happen now, players through the door tomorrow. It’s terrifying to see our line up when we have a couple of injuries.
Time to schitt or get off the pot bald faaack - if you employ Conte then you back Conte. Of your not going to back Conte properly then get rid and bring in a schitty project manager so that our fan base can see once and for all that you have zero ambition.
Can’t be bothered with them until I know what we’re going to do. If we do nothing as I suspect then this is just a write off season until the summer when Kane and Conte go
Could be a blessing in disguise

Kane to Celtic makes sense. Surely even he can’t feck it up there.

Scoring for Brazil who created loads of chances per game and have almost all the ball is hardly the same as playing for Spurs.

Richarlison definitely can’t be trusted to get more than 10 goals a season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But why not? He does it for Brazil. He’s 25 and in theory has time ahead of him to improve. He’s not had a season with a decent club. We bought him as a striker, why would we have done that if he had a 10 goal a season limit?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You could well be right and he will score loads but when he's playing for Brazil he is kinda got better players around him and also plays in some games where goals aren't too tough to come by?
He is a more than decent player, no question there I'm, and obvs its imo only, bit sure he's got 20 goals a season in him, happy to stand corrected if he does

Top four is never going to happen, let’s be realistic.
City arsenal and newcastle will take the top three, and there’s no way on Earth that we edge our Utd / Liverpool / Chelsea.
Conte is done for me. I feel Kane will go and maybe that isn’t the worst thing in the world. Build the attack around richarlison next season, get someone in charge who is progressive, hungry and can build a team that plays football. Sort the defence out and go again next year with expectations lowered.
I’d take poch back in a heartbeat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everton built their attack around Richarlison and nearly got relegated. He’s not a goal scorer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well he is, he’s scored 10 in 10 for Brazil in 2022. Everton have been garbage the last few years.
Richarlison with Kulu and Son (if he can remember how to play) would be a great front three.
I love Kane, of course, but he deserves to have a couple of seasons at a club with genuine ambition and I feel his head is halfway gone already.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He hasn’t scored a PL goal for us yet and his record at Everton was average at best. He’s not an out and out striker, Kane scores 2 goals every 3 games guaranteed, Richarlison is nowhere near that level. If Kane goes we are in huge trouble because we are utter gash without him and there is a dearth of quality strikers out there. We always fail to replace our best players effectively. Having a striker of Kane’s quality come through the academy and be happy to stay here has been one of the biggest pieces of good fortune we’ve had as a club in decades.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All good points, but richly hasn’t had the chance yet with us as a first choice striker. When he’s played it’s mostly been out wide. I can’t help thinking that it would be different if he was given the opportunity.
I’m not suggesting we’d be better without Kane - of course not - but something has to change and he deserves better. Maybe a chance to refresh the team with a different approach would benefit us. Which I also think needs a change of manager. It’s not working for Conte, not saying it’s his fault, but it all feels too much like the Jose seasons.

For me the difference between Conte and Jose is that first 6 months - Conte proved he could get a tune out of this rabble and got us to the CL - then we only half backed him in the summer.
For once the owners just need to grow a pair and spend the £100m to get this club competitive.
Or sack Conte tomorrow and get someone who can make things happen with the existing squad.
All I ask for is done faaaacking leadership and direction from our owners - am I asking too much?

Son needs to find form. Not sure if Contes system has just sucked the will out of him but spurs need him back asap.
Son, kulu and richarlison have less goals than Núñez. Nunez has also hit the woodwork 5 times so either he is massively under rated or spurs attack need to get the act together. Kane has carried the team for goals, in attack.

After 16 games we had scored the most goals we ever have at this stage in the Prem era. Overall I don’t believe the issue is attacking although admittedly we were blunt today.
It’s a lack of quality in the squad that’s killing us, we’re just so average

Prob is bar kane, few have come from attack.
Spurs also have like the shared 11 or 12th worse defense in the league, drawn with Villa.

If we manage to stay injury free and the likes of Kulu and Bentancur can play each game then, signings or no signings, I think we'd have a chance of top 4. We would win most games including yesterday's. How likely that is though is anyone's guess, and Conte without signings could spell a falling out.
I agree that we either keep Conte and try and back him, or pointless continuing with him.
