Spurs boss Antonio Conte flies back to England on Sunday. There’s a very decent argument that he might as well not bother. tickerscricket
Let’s deal with the game. Spurs weren’t entirely appalling. For the first hour they were demonstrably the better side, hit the woodwork twice and would have merited a one or two-goal lead. Then, in a reversal of the season’s early trend, that decent first hour was followed with an abysmal closing half-hour in which Wolves first established a foothold and then gradually seized control. They looked much the likelier winners by the time Adama Traore struck late on.
And certainly not one that merits the abysmal football that is deployed in service of the only thing that matters. There is plenty of talk about ending that trophy drought, but the actions scream far louder. Spurs limped meekly, gutlessly out of the FA Cup in midweek. It’s the fourth year in a row they’ve gone out in the fifth round. Norwich, Everton and Middlesbrough are the three other teams to take care of Spurs at that stage.
Few Spurs fans can now seriously expect a 1-0 first-leg deficit against a crushingly mediocre Milan side to be overturned in the Champions League last 16, even with SERIAL WINNER Conte back in the dugout.
