For me the formation is not the issue. All formations are dynamic and while Conte is quite rigid in his approach, the formation allows for the CBs to step into the midfield, CMs to get into the box, wing backs to get forward and in the box and 3 attackers on the pitch who can stay wide or come central.
Where the difference is between teams like Spurs and Arsenal is the attitude, the energy and the positivity, compounded by the ability of some players in key positions.
Starting at the back the ball is not moved forward quick enough or incisively enough. They are either pressed and usually cough it up or lump it, or the opposition retreat get organised and make it hard to break them down.
Players like Holjberg really lack passing ability and take too many touches. When he tries something different, like a threaded pass or big switch of play its 50/50 if it works. Partey and Xhaka while performing similar defensive functions are fr superior in possession.
Someone like Zinchenko is way better on the ball than Sessegnon.
Without Bentancur we truly lack any forward vision from anyway across the 7 defensive and midfield positions. I was impressed with Sarr yesterday. He really did try to do something with the ball, he took the odd risk, got himself out of tight positions to break a press. In those situations, PEH loses it or just passes backwards.
Our poor starts to game characterises this neutral/negative mentality. If the instructions are to keep it solid, assess the opposition, look to build but dont take too many risks then that mindset promotes cautious, slow, predictable play. If the instruction is to go out there, press, thinking and acting quickly, movement, then everyone is switched on and there is tempo. But for us the urgency only comes when we are losing.
You could see from the 2nd half we are able to play more in that way, but it's as if Conte doesnt trust us to open up or trust us to be fit enough to maintain it. For me it is not a lack of ability to motivate the team, its an approach and a mindset that is being instilled into them. I think the players are carrying out the managers instructions OR are being overly cautious out of fear.
Too soon for Conte to go. We clearly have a need for several new players. Lets hope 1 or 2 can come in this Jan and have the impact like last year.

All fair points, personally i don't think Conte is the answer and his lack of LT commitment to the club is likely to impact our activity in the window (which is now half over).... so what now ?

If it's about a lack of trust and subsequent fear in the players, that's totally on Conte. If we're not brave on the ball, and we most certainly are not, that's on Conte. If we're routinely outnumbered in midfield, that's on Conte. The argument about centre halves stepping into midfield only works if you have cultured players in defensive positions and, more crucially, are having a greater controlling share of the game. If you don't have the ball, as we often don't, those centre halves, wing backs and holding midfielders camp in and sit too deep. It's about control. We're not having enough of it to see Conte's tactics work. He's playing the wrong tactics for the squad he has. Waiting until he has all the players he wants before truly playing well is just plain ridiculous. It's fantasy football. He has to be able to get the best of the squad he has too, and he's most definitely not.

We lost 2-0 to our biggest rivals and they DID outplay us for a lot longer than we had a go at them. They're infinitely better than we are so we need to swallow our medicine and learn from instead of drumming up bullsheeet excuses like "we had more shots". We lost. Simple as that.
If Sock is Sandy then you're massively contradicting yourself. When we win playing badly you say it's all about the result. When we lose and have a bit of a go, you go on about performances. At least be consistent.
God, there's nothing worse than Spurs fans wumming other teams when we're in the absolute shiiiiiiter at the moment. We've got nothing, absolutely nothing to crow about. I'd advise we all keep our traps shut because that Arsenal side, to me, don't look like they're going away. It reeks of jealousy to me.

When last did a team win the league with a 2 man midfield?
City play with 3
Liverpool won with 3
Man U currently on form with 3
Arsenal top with 3
Newcastle best form with 3
CONTE won Serie A with 3 man midfield
So why the f**k does he think a 2 man midfield is the solution when he doesn't even have the personel? His stubbornness is not even rooted in fact.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its an obsolete formation in modern football.

We had more possession, more shots, more shots on target but supposedly everything is wrong because Hugo made a blunder and Ramsdale had a once in a lifetime performance. How do you even live with yourself having to endure being a spurs supporter fridge?

Well that's confirmed Sock is Sandy
The big difference is that only one team set off with the intention of taking the game to the opposition. We had chances second half, for sure, but only when we had no choice but to go gung-ho. If anything it proves that if we were a little braver and not so conservative from the outset, we might be a better team. Ultimately Conte's tactics are holding us back. That's what's clear.

He's not capable of saying "fair play, you're much the better team".
Arsenal and Arteta are everything that's missing at Spurs right now. I called this last season when you were at our level. I could see what was building with the young players and I said so on here. I've been proved right. This is what happens when you buy smart, have a philosophy and trust in youth.

All formations are dynamic and while Conte is quite rigid in his approach, the formation allows for the CBs to step into the midfield, CMs to get into the box, wing backs to get forward and in the box and 3 attackers on the pitch who can stay wide or come central.
Where the difference is between teams like Spurs and Arsenal is the attitude, the energy and the positivity, compounded by the ability of some players in key positions.
Starting at the back the ball is not moved forward quick enough or incisively enough. They are either pressed and usually cough it up or lump it, or the opposition retreat get organised and make it hard to break them down.
Players like Holjberg really lack passing ability and take too many touches. When he tries something different, like a threaded pass or big switch of play its 50/50 if it works. Partey and Xhaka while performing similar defensive functions are fr superior in possession.

We had more possession, more shots, more shots on target but supposedly everything is wrong because Hugo made a blunder and Ramsdale had a once in a lifetime performance. How do you even live with yourself having to endure being a spurs supporter fridge?

Even shearer said that the difference was the keepers on MOTD but fridge has to placate Arsenal fans cos he secretly hates his own club for getting rid of poch

Well that's confirmed Sock is Sandy
The big difference is that only one team set off with the intention of taking the game to the opposition. We had chances second half, for sure, but only when we had no choice but to go gung-ho. If anything it proves that if we were a little braver and not so conservative from the outset, we might be a better team. Ultimately Conte's tactics are holding us back. That's what's clear.

Knee jerk reaction, Arsenal got lucky yesterday as their keeper rescued them. We can still win the CL. Biggest fault with Conte is that he needs to drop Dier though
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that's his job, to stop shots , if your keeper done the same then you may have got something from the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See even these Arsenal fans admit the only difference between the two sides is the performance of the keeper
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't say that was the ONLY difference, but you crack on
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We lost 2-0 to our biggest rivals and they DID outplay us for a lot longer than we had a go at them. They're infinitely better than we are so we need to swallow our medicine and learn from instead of drumming up bullsheeet excuses like "we had more shots". We lost. Simple as that.
If Sock is Sandy then you're massively contradicting yourself. When we win playing badly you say it's all about the result. When we lose and have a bit of a go, you go on about performances. At least be consistent.
God, there's nothing worse than Spurs fans wumming other teams when we're in the absolute shiiiiiiter at the moment. We've got nothing, absolutely nothing to crow about. I'd advise we all keep our traps shut because that Arsenal side, to me, don't look like they're going away. It reeks of jealousy to me.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sock is not Sandy. So absolutely no contradiction.

Sounds like you're happy losing 2-0 to one of your biggest rivals Sandy. Are you even a Spurs fan? Anyone would think you support Arsenal.

Sorry bud, you've exposed yourself. You're just logging in and out of different accounts. Tragic really.

I think you're happy, now you can lay into Conte and push for poch to come back. You even said you wanted us to lose for this to happen last week

How come we had more shots on target than you if you're so great?

He's not capable of saying "fair play, you're much the better team".
Arsenal and Arteta are everything that's missing at Spurs right now. I called this last season when you were at our level. I could see what was building with the young players and I said so on here. I've been proved right. This is what happens when you buy smart, have a philosophy and trust in youth.

Really? that's what you're clinging to? Honestly Sandy, it's just laughable.

It'll cost Levy too much. He'll wait until the summer.

Can we stop with this line that Newcastle have got where they are by Eddie Howe just improving a few players, yes that is true but he has also spent £210m in the process

I remember reading you say that last year and being shot down by most of your fellow Spurs fans when we could all see Afc were going in the right direction
