Tottenham Hotspur might have kissed away their top-four aspirations following their 1-0 loss to Burnley. After an impressive win against Manchester City this past weekend, Spurs laid an egg with their performance at Turf Moor.
In 90 minutes, Tottenham had two total shots on target against Burnley and their aspirations to play in the UEFA Champions League. Manager Antonio Conte spoke to talkSPORT and described the result against Burnley as a ‘disaster.’
“This is a disaster. It’s a disaster for a club like Tottenham. It means that sadly it’s not going in the best way,” Conte said.
“When I say about making an assessment, for sure I have to speak with the club. I have to speak with the club to talk and find the right solution because, I repeat, it’s not right to continue this way.”
Conte went on to state that he came to north London to help improve the squad, but thus far, he hasn’t been able to lift Spurs to the point where they’re in the middle of the top-four race.
When the Italian tactician came in, he helped turn their season around from where it was heading, but having four of their last five Premier League matches, it’s beginning to take its toll on Conte.
“I came here to improve the situation, but at the moment, the situation is not improving. I need to speak with the club. I am available. I am open. For sure, I can’t accept this type of situation. I don’t like to lose games in a row in this way,” Conte said.
Spurs now sit seven points from Manchester United with only two games in hand to make up any ground on The Red Devils.
Love the glasses allegory
A good suggestion – one I missed the first time around.
A suggestion, can’t we have just one blog to discuss the subject, namely Conte and the club, instead of three or four discussing the same thing, it dilutes the conversation and good points are missed.
I would love it..at last a truly elite appointment.
Ah Antonio…you’re mint, dear princess. As we’re your predecessors.
Cream rises to the top, but it ain’t worth shit when your pint glasses fill from the bottom.
Levy knows the rules, you can dress up the brown ball on a snooker table all you want, but brown balls will always be worth 4 points.
Winners don’t win shit potting brown balls.
Lovely snooker table you’ve built though Daniel…
Who would’ve thought Rednapp was right “this is as good as it gets”………….
No ones really surprised are they… best thing that could happen would be for Conte to walk & for Big Sam to be appointed…🤣
