Spurs played adequately well and got a reasonable Champions League point in Frankfurt. It’s just hard to see where it gets them. tickerscricket
Spurs’ defensive display was near-faultless, Eintracht restricted to really just one presentable chance across the entirety of the game. After the mess at the Emirates on Saturday, that is an improvement both welcome and worth noting.
It wasn’t anywhere near enough after the weekend, but if Spurs win that game 2-0 through goals from Son in the first half and Kane in the second nobody is describing it as lucky. Indeed, the talk would be of a professional job well done on a banana-skin European night when the wounds of Saturday could have been opened further.
When enough of the good players do good things and the proven excellence of Conte’s system holds, Spurs will batter some teams. What they have done already this season to Southampton and Leicester they will assuredly do to others. The point burgled at Stamford Bridge by sheer force of will also surely be no one-off.
We saw this in the aftermath of last season. While the club and its supporters rightly celebrated the achievement and particularly enjoyed that it came at Arsenal’s expense, it quickly became clear that far from securing Conte’s future at the club it served merely as a prerequisite for him even to consider it.
But he will leave them. And it will probably be relatively soon, and then Spurs will be starting again. Again. And, crucially, everyone inside and outside the club knows this. You don’t even really actually need managers to stay for five or six or seven years; you just need everyone to be able to see it as a possibility.
