Spurs problem is their midfield 2. They're just not good ballers enough. It limits their creativity and balla retention
A poor Chelsea side found it very easy to carve them open.

They will hit a brick wall under Conte. Naive to think they will keep grinding results unless he does something about the midfield and ball retention.

Are Spurs good or shite I cant tell?
This seems to be the Conte way, aside from his Chelsea title season you can never quite say they're good, they seem to just do enough all the time and still win trophies.

Not really true. Conte's Juve, Chelsea, and Inter teams were light years better than this Spurs side in midfield, and consequently they had much more ability to control and dictate matches when they wanted.

I never wanted Conte near this club and every week that view is reinforced.

Spurs are the ultimate bend but don’t break FC. Yet another game where they are being completely outplayed but somehow having enough individual brilliance to win.

Spurs relying on set pieces and individual brilliance. It’s Mourinho football updated for the current era. Ugly, and terrible to watch. Has a short shelf life too.

They've still got twice as many goals as us to be fair.
