The reason why Spurs are Top 4 isn't just down to Conte, Kane + Son are game changers. We have no goals in this team while those two score for fun.
We had Auba scoring for fun, on pace with Kane until Arteta started being a prick to him. Dropping him, playing him out of position, etc Pepe was a 20 goals Ligue 1 player, even last season when he got half a season he scored 10 but he's marginalised for not being safe enough. Thats how you get where we are now. Anyone with a bit of personality, flair or passion is marginalised. Elneny, Xhaka and Cedric stay.
Exactly. It's true we don't have a world class goalscorer to make the difference in the way Kane and Son do, but that's on Arteta. We had Aubameyang, we have Pépé. He just doesn't have a fucking clue how to use them and he couldn't handle Auba not obeying his every word. He, rightfully so, gets a lot of credit for signing the likes of Partey or Odegaard, but this squad is 100% his. It was his decision to banish Auba, it's his decision to marginalise Pépé, it was his decision to go with Tavares and Cedric as back-ups for Tomi and Tierney, the latter's injury proneness wasn't a secret. It was his decision to not play AMN and then give him away in January. It was his decision to extend Xhaka and now apparently Elneny. The quality of the squad is no excuse. He was the one that gutted it in the first place instead of doing his fucking job and working with what he had at his disposal.
