Tottenham left the FA Cup with a scenario similar to Manchester United against Middlesbrough, which was helplessness, disruption and lack of concern. Spurs' FA Cup problems have attracted a lot of attention because at this time in the remaining arena, the Premier League, they have no way to compete.
Pre-processory defeats have come so many times this season and it is like a disease with no cure. Conte is good at catching the flow and cannot find a way.
Conte's honeymoon week at Tottenham ended too quickly. The most recent loss to Burnley in the Premier League was the 4th defeat in a series of 5 consecutive matches, directly pushing Spurs out of the Top 4 race. This is also Conte's worst achievement since he started his coaching career. A memorable memory for the former Inter captain.
In the next match, Tottenham will meet Everton - a team that is thirsty for points to compete for relegation, not knowing what will happen.
Conte's tactics at Tottenham are showing a lack of consistency. Not as hot as Liverpool, Spurs are the attacking team. Meanwhile, Conte and Mourinho prefer defensive foundations. The new factors brought in, even though playing in midfield, are not labeled super attack, at most controlling and supporting the defense.
The current framework is more or less still from the Pochettino era, so the habit of attacking is still there. Maybe, there is not enough time for Conte to change a new philosophy.
In the win over Leeds, Kane and Son had a combination to score the 37th goal, a Premier League record. This duo is so good, if we consider playing for Tottenham as a waste, it will not be a waste. Son and Kane are very good, so we cannot blame the "Roosters" for their dependence. This is an untreated disease for this team.
Once Kane and Son are in good form, Spurs have no replacement. The most recent example is the defeat of Boro. So far this season, Kane has played 37 matches, with 18 goals and 4 assists. Meanwhile, Son has 11 goals and 7 assists. Their contribution is terrible, so Tottenham are dependent 24/7.
The recent transfer window has been so disappointing for Conte that he has had to talk about it on television. Among the targets this strategist has targeted, Traore was sold by Wolves to Barca. Meanwhile, Diaz shook his head with Tottenham to go to Liverpool from FC Porto. These are two new players who are playing very well at their new team and they made Conte regret even more.
Finally, there is the failure habit of the North London club. If highly appreciated, there is no reason for 14 consecutive years of being left empty-handed. Tottenham's entry into the Big 6 does not mean they are strong, they are only worthy of a fairly average team.
Changing the results in each match is difficult, raising the level of a club is an even more difficult task for Conte.
