But Spurs played better and they just fired Conte and Stellini
They can score goal and attack. Under Mason they concede 2 goals against Man Utd and chase to 2-2. Against Liverpool they concede 3 goals and scored 3 goals.
We have difficulty against Sassuolo and Bologna in the last 3 matches. We dont have any pattern of attacking play and fluidity

Pirlo did a better job.
Players output and performance is better (Chiesa, Cuadrado, Morata last season) and he doesnt have time to rebuild his squad because Covid. We even played with Arthur and McKennie during that season.
Record against big side also better. At least we can beat them big teama once during the season. He beat Inter's Conte, can beat Milan's Pioli, can beat Napoli Ancelotti, Atalanta. Now we either draw or lose against big teams
Spurs is the furthest from a good example of the benefits of sacking a coach midway through the season. United, Chelsea, Zacheroni I can’t think of a good example where a care taker coach was a good idea. It only makes sense if we’re bringing in a permanent better manager.
My main concern is the normalization of mediocrity, and settling for it as some kind of inevitable necessary outcome for a few years.
We have to try to win. Just because our finances are in the red it shouldn’t mean we should aim low and sadly that seems to be the strategy of the club. They’re making it seem as if we have Mancity in the league and that only a slow build long term project can get us back to the top of the league.
We are in Serie A not the EPL. Napoli, and Milan just proved that you can be broke and you can let go of important players and still win the title. Pioli and Spaletti are far from serial winners yet they went for it and reaped the rewards.
The reason Spurs never win anything is because they aim low and are okay. We are in our 3rd consecutive season now where the club sees top 4 as success.
If we had that mentality in 2011/12 we’d have never pushed Milan and nicked the title. We’d have said oh it’s a new squad that needs to gel, we can only afford mostly freebies. Milan are comfortable favorites we have a noob coach, the squad has many holes etc..
This is lower than Del Neri era. We had more ambition coming back from Serie B while watching Inter win the treble
