Pericic joining will be a huge plus for us going into the new season. A creative and experienced wingback who has played under Conte earlier. It also looks likely that Djed Spence will join, appears to have what both Emerson and Doherty are lacking, good crossing and creativity.
Kulusevski is great! The fact that Allegri in Juventus often left him on the bench explains even more the difference between the coaches in evaluating the potential of a player. Lukaku (bought back from Chelsea for 100 million) employed by Conte has achieved his best season, with Tuchel very often remained on the bench! Some coaches have many resources at their disposal (see Guardiola and Tuchel) but are not able to exploit them to the full
In my opinion if you play a back three against Spurs, each player in your defense will mark a forward but if you have someone in front of Kane like Brighton did with Bissouma, there won't be a reason for a Centre back to follow Kane into midfield when he's dropping deep to receive passes from midfield and that won't leave space in behind for Son to run in to or for Kane to do flick ons or those passes he likes playing because he's marked out of the game. This will force them to use their wing backs more and they're not that good, so I really think going forward the back three is the way to go against Spurs.
Its amazing to have Conte at Tottenham!!! Still only June, Paratici & Conte are just getting warmed up with the rest of the players they will be bringing to North London! Building a improved team with the depth needed to compete in every competition, plus the new 5 sub rule in PL . In regards to his question "Should Man United have hired Conte" , I am sure many United fans wished they did. Though his no B.S. coaching style & how he got rid of the players he didn't think fit his system, were lazy/had bad attitude, etc... at Spurs; You have to wonder who, or how many players he would have sent packing in January at Man United? Though its been said Plenty by all Tottenham Fans/Supporters: "Thank You Manchester United , beating us 3-0 when Spurs showed nothing in that match (would have been better to have the U20 team out there) and as a result was the final game with Nuno in charge of Tottenham. And due to you or the Man United front office still having a little faith in OLE' you kept him as coach a little longer leaving Tottenham as the perfect Club for a coach named Antonio Conte to come in and take over as the head coach. " So without Man United's hesitation over what to do with their coach, it allowed Tottenham to make up for the circus that was a search for new coach since back in April when Jose was sent packing (yes a week before the League Cup Final). And we showed you our appreciation by taking it easy when we played you in reverse fixture at Old Trafford.🙄🙄 For real Spurs didn't take it easy at all and were the better team that day; the only problem was Ronaldo still has games where he shows why he is 1 of the best to ever play the sport. Final score Ronaldo 3-2 over Spurs. So hopefully that makes everything Even!!!
@Francis Earl I agree with everything you said. Also remember we were close or at least interviewed him in summer, so whatever wasn’t agreed on Levy obviously came around. I’m sure Paratici helped a bit too!! Of course I was being a bit sarcastic whenever I wrote that. But so much more we could say about Man United, and forget on the field, the fact the stadium had multiple leaks, supposedly the largest home for rats in all of Manchester ( don’t know how true that is, but has horrible rodent issue), front office, among so many other things that are embarrassing!! I like you saying Tottenham being the more modern club. That’s very true!
No mention of the fact we consistently lose the midfield battle, since the two central midfielders get overrun by teams who play with three central midfielders? As demonstrated against Middlesbrough, Brighton, and Brentford (to name just 3), this is the major weakness of Conte's 343, compared to teams like Chelsea, who play the same formation, but still win the midfield battle by having inside forwards like Mount who can drop into the midfield area, allowing them to control possession.
i think you should compare conte's tactics at spurs with jose mourinho's tactics at spurs and then give your honest opinion on whose tactics are better
The premier league is so intense, i do not see Man City running away with the league next year with Eric Ten Hag coming into the league. If Eric Ten Hag gets his team playing his style quickly and Conte sorts Tottenham out, there will be alot of surprise's next year.
too soon for united, its not just a change of manager that will suddenly make them title contenders, the current crop of players arent good enough, at least 2 seasons before any trophy
Would never have worked for United as the spurs players Acc are willing to work on and off the ball no matter the manager whilst United players can’t be assed no matter
? Romero - Dier/? -? Doherty/Emerson - Bentancour - Hojbjerg - Reguilon Kulusevski - Kane - Son Spurs have a good team. If they can find a good goalie to replace Lloris and get in another centerback they will become a monster next season. Maybe Sven Botman can come in an be one of the best center backs in the PL for mamy years. And a hungry goalie like maybe Henderson from United. Or Iian Meslier from Leeds
knowing Conte, he might sign an Italian player. Definitely need a left-footed CB, maybe Conte can revive Romagnoli's career? he has been mediocre the past 2 seasons.
Lloris has kept more clean sheets in the league this season than any other keeper except Alisson and Ederson and kept us in games like Villa. Respect him
Spurs going hard after Bastoni. There’s your left-footed CB to play the left. Knows Conte’s system like the back of his hand seeing as Conte started playing him 1s team at age 20
@@Francis_0120 not easy to make that many new singings, realistically it depends if he can get rid of them or not otherwise I doubt he will be able to add 5 without getting rid of 5
Conte might be the missing piece Spurs need to win a trophy. Levy need to let him spend on anyone he wants and I'm sure he will deliver. Probably not the league or UCL, but the other trophies. The next few years might be a different story.
Man U shouldn’t have, they don’t have the personal to support him, and Conte is not a manger to bring in for a long rebuild he likes having short stints at clubs.
I wouldn't say that about short stints. Since Conte's arrival at Spurs, he's constantly referred to it as the 'Tottenham Project' and has hinted that he is well aware getting Tottenham to be consistently competitive again is a long-term undertaking.
yeah well explained , still baffled why conte uses royal he is not good enough , Moura has all the skill sets needed he should be playing every week in his place.
I think Conte’s style fits Spurs much better, whereas Ten Hag/Pochettino fits United’s players better. Spurs already had the basis for a 343 system and completed it with Kulusevski, but United lacks a right wing back and players who could function in a double pivot. Also United is built around Fernandes, who needs to be in a CAM or free 8 role, which wouldn’t work with Conte because we’ve seen that he doesn’t do well when asked to play too advanced, but in a 4231 he thrives as the 10. Ten Hag’s UCL semis team had the CF and CAM rotate as a second striker partnership, which in theory should suit Ronaldo and Fernandes. I think Conte is a great coach but he would’ve had far more rebuilding to do at United to reform the team to fit him, compared to Ten Hag or Poch.
This would had prolly get us top for. De gea Lindelof. Varane. Maguire. Dalot. Fred. Pogba/Matic. Shaw. Bruno. Ronaldo/Martial. Rashford/Sancho Our team was way better at implementing Conte's system than Spurs. Thr are many variation of our full squad that could have worked, even before considering Jan transfer window. In hindsight it was a stupid decision from the board again. Also remember leaks were coming out from Conte camp that he will get this squad performing immediately. Personally I think a team like this would have worked (and will prolly be in the UCL) Henderson. Lindelof. Varane. Matic. Dalot. Brozovic. Pogba. Shaw. Sancho. Martial. Rashford.
@@cigenbell5849 I don’t think that midfield would work because both Fred and Pogba are defined by their attacking tendencies and would leave the 3 CB exposed, where as Hojbjerg and Bentancur are naturally more defensive. Fred is more of a forward presser whilst Pogba is lazy defensively. Bruno would be limited positionally as the right winger which is the difficulty he had with the 4222 under Rangnick since he’s tactically anarchic at times, and if Conte switched to a 3412 then neither Rashford or Sancho would thrive as a second striker to Ronaldo and Cavani has been out of action all season. Conte would benefit Maguire, Dalot, and Telles more, not so much our midfield and attack.
@@kendrick6740U do know Pogba used to play under Conte at Juv? This “lazy defending” is because he is not motivated to play. In order to play for Conte you first need players that work hard. Doesn’t have to be very talented(but that is a plus), as long as you work hard for the team, it would do well. Maguire plays well in this 3 at back just like how England national team does it. I think a formation of like this would be the standard then you pick whoever fills in when injured or out of form De Gea Varane Maguire Lindelof Dalot Pogba Mctominay Telles Bruno Sancho Ronaldo Conte had to get rid of some players in Spurs that were “lazy” or just didn’t work in the team like Lo Celso and Ndombele. Both are talented players. ManU are supposed to be easier to build because they have more budget not Spurs. You just need players to have the right mentality and the team will thrive.
@@kendrick6740 Also how do you know Sancho wouldn’t thrive as a SS? He’s been that way in Dortmunt supplying Haaland and sometimes scoring goals himself. Also the wings back of ManU are better overall than Spurs… So don’t tell me ManU is harder to build, he had to experiment with spurs earlier on in November and December to analyze the team. If he does that for ManU and starts getting results you wouldn’t be saying this.
@@lhy8373 under Conte, Pogba was surrounded by hard working wingbacks and dogged ball winning CMs like Marchisio and Vidal. He was also paired with Pirlo, which meant that when Pirlo drew attention, Pogba would be free to do what he does better. Pogba didn’t have to do anywhere near as much work as he has to in a double pivot. Also Sancho has never truly played as a second striker. Maybe on paper he could, but with Dortmund he was always a wide player or a 10. Sancho is best when he’s able to get on the ball and dribble or pass, which would be limited for him if he’s put right up inside the box. Ronaldo has the same issue, he’s someone who likes to make runs into the box but isn’t someone who truly thrives in the box like a proper 9 such as Cavani or Lewandowski. Maybe Sancho could function in that capacity, but it’s not likely based on what we’ve seen from his preferred play style.
They might win the whole damn thing looking back in the season, mancity and liverpool had problems with spurs and if spurs fixes their problem of botching easier games, they're going to be a real problem for the big 3
I know that Spurs fans hated Emerson Royal this season due to his limitations as an attacking wing back but I freaking loved that kid. What I saw was a player who worked incredibly hard every second he was on the pitch and could shut down attackers coming from his side. Emerson wants to be here which was great to see after years of watching guys like Dele Alli and Serge Aurier sleepwalking through games. Emerson also made some pretty excellent runs on attack and made the opposing side work like hell to keep up with him. I dont know if Emerson's attacking ability, especially his passing and crossing abilities, ever catch up with his enthusiasm but a winning team needs to have guys like him around to push players during training as well as in the locker room.
Your content is easily digestible and very friendly for the tactically naive. Thank you

Only conte can make a player like ben Davies become a regular starter and puts up MOTM
Kane's false 9 role is what makes them so deadly on the transition
he's not really a false 9; more like a deep-lying forward
In my opinion if you play a back three against Spurs, each player in your defense will mark a forward but if you have someone in front of Kane like Brighton did with Bissouma, there won't be a reason for a Centre back to follow Kane into midfield when he's dropping deep to receive passes from midfield and that won't leave space in behind for Son to run in to or for Kane to do flick ons or those passes he likes playing because he's marked out of the game.

Every formation has flaws however with Kane dropping deep and hoiberg and bentanceur being ace that makes up for it
