Now that we have lost, we can no longer have passengers. In my head Son has one more chance. No performance v Lesta and has to be dropped. He is in the side on reputation alone at the moment.
The formation 100 per cent has to change whether Conte likes it or not.
Awful. Absolutely dreadful. This utter tripe lazy pundits have been using about it being a good sign when you’re winning and not playing well has finally been found out. The reason why we’re not playing well is because we’re just not that good. A couple of poor performances, fine, it’s just “not playing well”. Do it every game so far this season and it probably means you’re not s good team. Simple as that.
I’m so, so tired of this negative football. Absolutely no creativity whatsoever. I’m really not feeling things with Conte. I know we’re in the CL and doing well in the Prem but this style is so, so hard to back. Even when we win it feels like something is missing.
I have a soft spot for Emerson but can’t help but think that Spence would add a lot of excitement

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think we have good enough players to play this formation. We didn’t bolster the first 11 well enough in rear 2/3 of the pitch. We bolstered squad and up front.
Problems wont be fixed with formation change. We don't have a '10'. All CMs are quite similar. CBs all better in back 3 as masked deficiencies. No LB other Davies who is a mediocre one. We play our most defensive RB as a wing back. If we play our 4 best attacking players we have absolutely nothing attacking wise on the bench.
The quality on the ball for a lot of our players is startlingly poor at times or in general. Decision making and bravery on the ball aren't due to formation.
We haven't been able to improve as much as we wanted by the CB and RWB not being available for us in the market to elevate us.
Thought the Richarlison and Bissouma signings were great but both been used poorly on the whole so far. Richy isn't a RW and Bissouma has barely played.
Conte hasn't managed the squad great so far but we are unbeaten in the league and feel we can improve even more. The football hasn't been good on the whole for sure, hopefully this come but feel you have a right to be concerned.
Conte has been out-Conted. Sporting usually dominate possession but they realised that we’re toothless against a low block so they did to us what we do to teams routinely.
I’m so angry with this performance and from some individuals. That’s the worst I’ve seen Kane play in quite some time and we all know about Son. It was sloppy. Why wait until 15 mins to go to bring Kulu on. Really not happy with this.

Didn't they have more possession
When Conte won the Prem he had Hazard. Where’s our creative man? Absolute joke.

They deliberately sat off at times. You can’t deny that. It was a deliberate ploy and I’m surprised others don’t do it.
Do you know who Conte is?
Another thing us that we are playing a 343 with guys like son and richy who can't play with their back to goal. Even kane is doing that badly at the moment. Need two creative players in those positions ideally.
433 could work as a plan B but still need to change the full backs and we would have mostly defenders on the bench with already 4 on the pitch.

Whatever tonight's formation, I was more concerned with the passing, and actual control of a football.

As OP I totally agree!! Our midfield is dross, no creativity or game controlling midfielder
I find it odd that the pundits tonight are blaming the players but not Conte. He’s just as culpable. He’s so rigid. He doesn’t change tactics, ever and only looks at his bench after 75 mins.

Yep, absolutely way off it.
Conte spurs set up how all of Contes teams have in the main. Granted we lack that creative midfield player from the bench.
That’s said, Son can’t even trap a ball atm never mind score goals. Kane needs to stop trying to be De Bruyne. If he focused more on his role of a 9 he would’ve been were he should’ve been for Perisic perfect cross across the 6 yard box.
And finally Emerson Royal is terd. Can’t cross or score. Good RWB would’ve had 2 goals tonight. And I know we all have commented how he is a good RB. But the defending by him for their second was Sunday league standard. In fairness that is the one mistake Conte continually makes, starting Emerson.
Can we go back to games being cancelled please? I felt like we were better in my head than when these abject bunch of turds actually play.

On a serious note however, the football is dreadful. I know Conte’s style gets results but it’s horrendous ti watch. Besides, I think we have enough quality in the tr to play a lot better than we are. For some bizarre reason Doherty can’t seem to get on, and Bissouma is the bloke who made Brighton tick last season sbd other than West Ham away he’s barely had a look in.

Emerson was Spurs best player up until the final minute. Dier, Davies and Romero were all worse most of the match. Easy to scapegoat Emerson. CBs went missing for the opening setpiece corner AGAIN.

100%. Plus I find it really frustrating when caution is preferred to flair. Bissouma has a little flair, Spence has a little flair but they’re not given chances. How can Spence in particular not get on ahead of Royal? It’s staggering. I accept it when we win, just, but when we lose it’s just awful.
Conte’s defensive instincts do remind me of those Jose days. Everyone appears to be on the Conte train but the truth is that we had similar levels of success under Poch playing much better, more dominant football. We even finished 2nd one year. This dreary stuff is all the more poisonous when we lose. I hate us at the moment. Not seeing a great deal of progress.

It's easy to just call someone a scapegoat but it does come to a conclusion when enough people are seeing the same thing it can't be just that and we need something different in that position
He'd be fine as a defensive RB in a europa league/mid table team but aren't we supposed to be aiming higher than that
