The truths and flaws in Antonio Conte's explosive Tottenham tirade ... (Football.London)

Here are our Tottenham talking points after their 3-3 draw at Southampton and a remarkable press conference from Antonio Conte.

"If they want to continue in this way, they can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. "Not only the club, the manager and the staff, the players have to be involved in this situation because it is time to change this situation if Tottenham want to change. This is a very different Tottenham to the one he was ejected from three-and-a-half years ago, a club with a cluttered structure inside that now bears very little resemblance to what he will remember. I said that I want to see the fire in their eyes, in their hearts. If they want to continue in this way, they can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. "I said that I wanted to see the fire, not that I have seen. One reporter attempted to put that to the Spurs head coach on Saturday and he was interrupted before the first few words had left his mouth. While seemingly trying to claim that the club didn't deserve all the flak and the players deserved their fair share, he uttered the words that may end up as his club epitaph: "Tottenham's story is this. "Until now I try to hide the situation but now no because I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans. They follow us, pay for the ticket and to see the team another time to have this type of performance is unacceptable. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. The club reeks of a fear of the inevitability of failure rather than the courage to remove it.

So now we know the final answer to the question of who would ... (Football365.com)

Antonio Conte is now almost begging Daniel Levy to sack him and a press conference infinitely more entertaining than his football will surely do the job.

Not most importantly in his football philosophy – but also that – but in his attitude towards the club. But the next Spurs manager absolutely does have to be someone who doesn’t actively despise the club. If the players are selfish and interested only in themselves – which sounded distinctly like projection to us – then the manager has to bear his own responsibility for that situation. The next Spurs manager doesn’t have to be Pochettino. It’s utterly unthinkable now that Levy could allow Conte to remain in place for the last two months of the season and however much it will gall him to give Conte precisely what he wants, he has to sack him. One, that he is doing the club a huge favour by being here. The issue was that faced with a 3-1 lead against the Premier League’s worst team who had no central defenders left on the pitch, Conte looked in his big book of tactics and decided once again that page 1 (“Just do the most negative thing possible and hope for the best”) contained all the answers he needed. And he’s the man chiefly responsible for the defeat at Wolves and the dam-bursting draw at Southampton that has left their top-four chances looking bleak. It’s been clear for several weeks now that Conte doesn’t want to be at Spurs but also doesn’t want to quit and lose a nice fat payout. Conte has made his position untenable in two ways: inadvertently with his wretched and now utterly exposed prehistoric football; and very deliberately by going down swinging at his players, the club and most significantly Levy himself. But he’s the man who, faced with seven minutes to find a goal against a bang-average It was nip and tuck for a while there but, fittingly given the way his reign has now surely ended, Conte has been beaten by a last-minute winner.

Antonio Conte launches stinging attack on 'selfish' Tottenham ... (talkSPORT.com)

Antonio Conte launched a stinging attack on his 'selfish' Tottenham players while also criticising the ownership of the club following their collapse.

“In my experience, I can tell you that if you want to be competitive, if you want to fight, you have to improve this aspect. “He doesn’t want to be at Spurs. We have to play to show desire. I’m going to hammer the club, hammer Daniel Levy and everything about them’. The players? And the players? We have to play to make our fans proud of us. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. We have to think a lot about this.” To understand that we play for the badge. They don’t want to play under stress. They don’t want to play under pressure.

Spurs could have moved above Manchester United into third in the Premier League with victory at St Mary's on Saturday.

“We were actually playing pretty well up to that point even though we were losing. We are very disappointed and not much words inside there.” We are very disappointed with ourselves and it is not good enough. We know this three points was very important and we prepare for this game a lot this week. “There will be lots of ups and downs for everybody fighting for top four and relegation.

Conte torches his relationship with his players and sets Tottenham ... (The Athletic)

Conte's outburst at St Mary's opened a schism between manager and players - it may accelerate the Italian's departure from Tottenham Hotspur.

He pointed to the fact that the club never “play for something important”, and that the players don’t like to play “under pressure” or “under stress”. At the time this sounded like a criticism of Levy himself, of a culture set by those at the top of the club that does not demand Spurs win. You would have to be an extreme optimist to expect this to spark an upturn, like the Burnley outburst did last year. Conte has survived before when it looked as if his departure was the only option, not least after the But whether what Conte said is true is far less significant than the fact that he would say all of this in public, knowing the repercussions it would have. Maybe, but Conte cannot pretend that he is the only man with the club’s best interests at heart. The Italian must know that by making the players sound unmanageable and, by linking himself to the struggles of his predecessors in the job, he can cast himself as yet another victim of this dysfunctional club. He talked about the importance of “playing for the badge” even though the whole mood at the club is conditioned by the fact that he is running his contract down. Or was he being political and trying to leverage the situation for the good of his own reputation? This is a rare example of the opposite — the dressing room losing the manager. Was he being emotional and unable to contain how he truly felt? He finally had to tell it like it is.
