Tottenham's football has become so joyless that even Kane and Son have stopped working 🔎 Analysis by danielstorey85 via iPaperSport
2) The blunting of Kane and Son as a combination. Kane has been excellent this season, in extremely trying circumstances. Like most strikers, he thrives upon scoring goals. He is also eminently capable and willing to create chances, but would never want that to be at the expense of scoring the goals that drive Tottenham forward. He had three touches of the ball in the penalty area against Villa; Son had one. Kane waited almost 20 minutes for his first touch of the ball.
You can blame the players when they perform badly if you want, but the manager set the tone. Kane and Son are two of Tottenham’s five best players, and arguably the top two . If they are going to be enthused to stay around, it has to be worth moving to a system that enables them to be involved in play.
3) The football is awful to watch. Conte was given the benefit of the doubt earlier this season when results were good because, well, results were good. But that patience and goodwill quickly ebbs away when the results decline and the aesthetic misery stays roughly as a flat line. Conte is a winner – fine. Conte has got results elsewhere – fine. But he hasn’t won anything at Tottenham and he might well not this season; they are not a club with that same recent history, as Juventus, Inter and Chelsea were. In that context, you have to at least try and keep supporters enthused or they will pine for a former manager who is still out of work. Mauricio Pochettino allowed supporters to dream outside their reality.
