Tottenham have criticized Antonio Conte for his team selection during the game, questioning the rationale for benching new Middlesborough signing Djed Spence.
Djed Spence has struggled for a place in Antonio Conte’s Tottenham this season, while Emerson Royal has started 7 out of Tottenham’s 8 Premier League games.
Reacting to the call of the fans to start the £20m Middlesborough signing, a furious Antonio Conte blasted the fans for the criticism.
According to him, fans will always be fans – they will think about everything, but he is the coach and knows what is best for the team.
“The fans have to be fans. The fans is the fans, I understand they can think everything but I see every day what happens during the training session.”
Conte added thet he knows the best for the team, and he picks the best in-form players for his match.
“I try to do the best for the team. If they trust me, then they trust me, but the choices are mine. If I didn’t decide to pick one player it’s maybe because he’s not ready. We are talking about a young player with a good prospect, but I repeat I try to pick the best team.
Tottenham were unbeaten prior to the Arsenal game but lost easily to their North London rivals, conceding three goals against an in-form Mikel Arteta team.
