Much was said about Antonio Conte's press conference outburst at the time, but it's absolutely fair to say in the four weeks since his exit everything he said appears to have been proven true. Following a late collapse against Southampton, Conte unleashed a barrage of criticism at his players and the club before he was subsequently sacked less than a week later.
Since his departure, with Cristian Stellini in charge, Spurs have been vastly inconsistent and in a crunch match for their Champions League qualification hopes against Newcastle, they crumbled. The Magpies took the lead after just 61 seconds and within 21 minutes it was five - on the big stage Spurs had wilted under the pressure.
"I think that it's the right moment to speak because I think that after this performance, for me this is unacceptable," Conte said at the start of his ten-minute rant. "We are winning 3-1, in control of the game and you are able to concede two goals and to risk, because also Fraser made a fantastic save in one situation. I think it's much better to go into the problem, because the problem is that for another time we showed that we are not a team.
