I did say it's early days for Conte. Spurs still time to adjust to his favoured 3-5-2. Just pointing out that he is not an instant fix like many Utd 'fans' seemed to think.

Seldom see them wanting to be 'dominant' in the previous few matches
...any attacks they launched on their opposition is just sporadic n short-lived n mostly not on target
...more often it is the other way round...being dominated n bullied by all the other teams they played against be they big or small
...hence losing practically every match they played
...don't be surprised if they don't wake up, even minnow teams like Watford n Norwich can KO them easily n score a few goals against them w/o reply
...if they continue to play the toothless n lazy way that they r doing currently...all the opposition teams need to do is just attack, attack, n attack n constantly rob them of the ball n not let them keep possession of the ball
...n that's it ..
As regards Conte wat i think 'fans' expects is not instant success from him but in the near or foreseeable future like success at the end of season, improvement game by game for now maybe...so far he is doing not bad
...won 1 game n drew the other...did not lose any of them...the fans shd know that Rome was not built in 1 day
