    But come one, it’s going to be fun!

    Just get caught playing out from the back.

    Entertaining game to say the least. Kind of wish I went now, lol.

    Visibly more intent on attacking and the WBs as I expected have been lively.

    Stupid mistakes defensively though but that’s standard, welcome to Spurs, Antonio.

    I don't think Spurs are properly fit. Fading through the game has become a habit.

    The change in system looks to have immediately helped the players and it simply looks like they understand what they’re being asked to do. Whether we have just regained possession, have had the ball for a while, or are defending, the players seem to have instructions and be following them.

    Goals conceded have mainly been down to individual mistakes, which probably tells Conte a bit about the task ahead of him. Offensive and set pieces have been poor for years and we overplayed for the second one.

    Nevertheless, a good mix of encouragement and reality checks. And it’s been fun too, whereas even the good moments over the last few years have only been grimly satisfying at best.

    I reckon de Vrij’s price has risen a few extra £m if those at Inter were watching Dier trying to defend in that half.

    At least it’s entertaining! It’s been a long while since I’ve thought that watching Spurs!!

    Awful player and what's worse, in a system with 3 at the back he needs to be far more vocal in organising the 2 players either side of him. Given the fact that he has supposedly been favoured based on his "leadership qualities", I struggle to believe I'm looking at the same player.

    I really don’t know why manager after manager continue to pick him.

    Hopefully Conte ends that trend

    Considering Conte has only spent a few days with the squad, he's influence is already evident in the team. It bodes well for the next few months.

    He will obviously work on improving Dier or get a new CB in.

    There's still no leader out there on the pitch. Hojbjerg the closest I would imagine, but still rudderless
