what is he known for? can he get the best out of kane and son?? i heard from the internet that we may go 3 in the back and kane and son up top....not sure that is the answer as we are having enough problems scoring as it is...

Numbers up top does not equate to goals. Conte is known for getting the most out of a team that will do what he tells them to. He might play some older guys that understand what he wants over young talent but the days of 11 guys jogging around without a clear plan and purpose are done. He will train attacking movement until it is second nature while also putting three at the back who will be defensively sound.

He's been known to move wingers back to WB (think Moura or even Bergwijn), and defend with three CBs with a sitting DM in front of them. That DM will be asked to sweep up but also dictate play from the back, maybe GLC or Skipp (or hopefully Kessie soon). With him would be two box to box midfielders asked to do a bit of everything.

The current roster lends itself very well to this set up skill wise. The question will be fitness and application. They are going to be asked to do a lot more than they are currently giving.

Besides all of that on the field, where he has won everywhere, he's also a crazy SOB who will keep the press conferences and touchline a must see. This is a huge coup. He wins and even at the international level has shown he not only can, but will get more out of a group than the sum of their parts. He also has the international resume to attract many of the great talents about to be out of a contract.

At the very least, I'm excited to watch Spurs again!

Damn who wouldn't be excited to watch them after reading this? I think he could be the guy to bring some silverware back to Tottenham and I can't wait to see what he does with the roster.

Not willing to go there but we may actually get off more than a handful of shots every game.

Agreed. No expectations this year besides enjoyable soccer and a clear plan developing. If we start next season with managerial staff and front office still getting along, we can start to talk more.

That said, Euro Conference League became a real trophy possibility.

And you will be pleased if you check out the 1st 30 minutes of today's match.

#thfc scored more goals (2) in 22 minutes under Antonio Conte than they achieved (1) in their last 405 minutes for Nuno Espírito Santo. [Richard Jolly]

Just relentless attack with Reguilon and Emerson looking possessed, Kane rejuvenated, and Son as good as he's been in a year. Still need to work on defending set pieces in training but dang near as good a first 30 as one could hope for!

And it's 3-2 (38')

and.... just like that its 3-2

vitesse got 2 back and are not relenting.

2nd 30 could have been better.

Yikes.

Red card for romero....gonna have to hang on here.

dropped into a 4-4-1

10 v 10 now.

holy crap vitesse goalie red carded now

10 v 9! I was promised excitement and this game delivered.

Edit for no pen.

way outside the box on a deep ball in and it went off his arms in front of his body to block a deep lifting shot attempt over him.

chaos - we've got fans running on the field now

Decent first half against Everton. Defensively solid but the middle 2 and Moura letting us down in build up. Anything positive has come via the wing backs. I hope to see Ndombele in at some point if an early second half goal doesn't come.

I think tired legs....same lineup that -played THursday

Lloris got the ball - should not be a penalty.

VAR for once saves us!!!!!

Tired legs, yes, but Emerson and Reguilon have clearly been told to stay back more against stronger competition. This is forcing the attack to build more from the middle and it just isn't working.

Close on the penalty shout against Llotis there but I think VAR got it right.

Still can't get the ball to Kane

Frenetic last few minutes.

Lo Celso had a blast go off the post.

Everton just got a red card and a free kick from just outside the box.

two evenly matched teams....this was a fair result. i am sure conte will be happy with the clean sheet. we have to start with defense and keeping clean sheets. i am sure the goals will come. unfortunately, not enough quality from skipp and hoiijberg to attack from the middle...our passing in the final third is much to be desired.

i feel like 4-2-3-1 is our best formation based on our personnel. i see conte likes to play 3 in the back but not sure we have enough quality midfield players to be effective.

Anyone else hate the International break??
Hopefully, it gets the team some rest and time with Conte to adapt.

USMNT is competitive so I don't mind it. Plus there is a ton of European soccer to DVR and put on in the background while I zombie browse TexAgs and Twitter.

Why does Tottenham always seem to play on Sunday?

OBV cuz they played on Thurs.


Oh wait.

In order to win or score is it important to have the ball.

I only ask because we dont seem to ever have it anymore

What a 2nd half

Finally
4 off top 4. Let's do this
