It was the same against Liverpool.
talkSPORT co-host Danny Murphy is a fan of Conte, but the former Liverpool midfielder believes the Italian’s inability to improve his players is ultimately what’s costing Tottenham at the moment.: “A coach generally at a bit club is dealing with egos and man management, more than he is actually coaching. The coaching is still there but it’s easier when you’ve got brilliant players.
“You’ve then got coaches who improve players at a club where you don’t necessarily have the best players, but as a collective like at Newcastle for example, they’re competing because of the coaching and togetherness, like Pochettino did at Tottenham and made that team a unit.Murphy believes that Conte’s inability to improve his players like Eddie Howe does at Newcastle is what is costing them
“I think that Conte is used to managing top players at top clubs. He’s dropped down a level, if you like, in terms of the level of player and he’s struggling to improve them.“If we do a quick comparison of Newcastle with budget at type of player.
“Conte’s thing about needing better players and ‘we can’t compete yet’, that’s just an excuse for not being able to coach them and make them better.”
