Mourinho: "Before matches you always ask me why this player is not playing, why this player is not playing, why this player is not selected. Maybe now for a few weeks you don't ask me that because you have the answer." #THFC #COYS

Did the same interview regarding Lukaku starting over Martial IIRC.

I don't think we've been good enough to call ourselves their rivals. 

Because of Arsenal winning the fa cup yesterday they now have to go through 3 rounds of qualifying(single matches only) just get to the Europa league group stage ??. Jose will be fewwwmin. 

A nice memory there of Lineker's last game for Spurs..it was the last league match at Old Trafford before the Stretford End was demolished..May 1992..we had just blown the league and everyone was down

Conte close to joining. Holy fuck.

Domestically he’s been the best manager in football for the last decade. Not sure why he’d join this corpse of a squad. If he gets them competing for league titles then it’s his best job yet. He will get the best out of unheralded players. Could see Doherty loving him.

Conte wouldn't have worked for them. He demands too much and Levy is a tight bastard. 

Though it doesn't look like he's going now.

I'm still sickened over this appointment but it will be interesting to see what Conte can do with that squad. It has looked dead for years.

Doherty will be delighted to see him. Should be a natural fit for the 3-5-2 as he was at Wolves. I suspect Alli's career is done. Ndombele will likely be a big player, Conte wanted him at Inter. There will be a few random players who'll come out of nowhere to excel under him, there always is. 

Kane and Son could be a formidable front two, Son has always looked excellent through the middle in Kane's absence and I suspect this could get the best out of both. 

Other than that though it's a pretty sorry group of players. His biggest challenge yet. Getting them in the CL would be as impressive as any title he's won.

Either 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1:

Son-----Kane---

Reguilón-----Ndombélé----Højbjerg----Lo Celso-----Emerson

Romero-------Dier-----Sánchez

Lloris

OR

Kane

Son-----------------Lucas

Reguilón-----Ndombele-----Højbjerg-------Emerson

Romero------Dier------Sánchez

Lloris

They'll need to sign a CB in January to upgrade one of Dier/Sánchez. Most likely Sánchez as Dier can also play DM.

Ndombele's biggest flaw is his fitness. He gasses quickly. If he's prepared to work he can go up a level under Conte.

Doherty wasn't fancied by Nuno despite being a key player for him at Wolves. But yeah, he should get more minutes at RWB now.

2-3 signings and Spurs will be solid next season.

Conte is expected to part ways with Spurs by the end of the week.

Mourinho and now Conte... the Spurs DNA really is strong. Two serial winners reduced to dust.

I don't think Brighton would appreciate a 2nd manager being poached so soon after Potter. 

Amorim, the Sporting manager, at the end of the season would be a good appointment if they can get him.

Their best bet is probably trying to bring Poch back.

You have to question the brains on anyone who takes that job on

Lots of people buying into Conte's bullshit though, he's right in part but trying to deflect any blame for their shit football. People wanted him here, glad we avoided.
