'There needs to have an assessment. The managers change, but the players stay the same'. Damning indictment.
What’s incredible about that, is that the serving manager in his brutal honesty, has just slammed much of his squad as shite. The very people he works with every day at the training base.
Mourinho-esque on steroids.
But they ARE shite.
Dier - awful
Sanchez - awful
Romero - disappointing
Royal - terrible
Rodon , Reguilon, Sessegnon - going backwards.
We have a better defence than Spurs. Burnley have a better defence than Spurs. Arguably Newcastle now have a better defence than Spurs.

I don’t believe he joined Spurs when he did
His post match interviews definitely gave the impression of him throwing in the towel this week. 4 league defeats in 5, he’s simply not used to working with such an average squad.
Levy’s going to have promise a summer spend of peak Chelsea proportions to have any hope of keeping him on board.
I don’t believe he joined Spurs when he did - rather than in the summer first time round without real guarantees about spending in the summer. Spurs were never going to spend that big in Jan as part of the plan and he must know that. None of it makes sense
He’s a top draw manager no doubt about it. If you are at his level why would you want to waste time and effort coaching a Dan Burn when you can buy a much better playerIf his only way of getting success is by buying expensive players, he'll go the way of Mourinho soon enough. Only coaching the top players inevitably means you become used to players that can execute game plans at the highest level, whilst also having the brilliance to turn a match. Having to then coach a group that's simply "good" rather than "world class" will show how well he can bring others up to his level or otherwise. I think Conte has shown himself to be a bit of a one-trick pony here.
Which makes him a PlayStation manager rather than a football manager. Terrible decision by Spurs to give the job to someone so lacking in coaching ability in the first place.
