TOTTENHAM fans believe Sunday’s 4-3 loss at Liverpool shows Antonio Conte’s epic rant over their players’ fragility was right.
Conte departed as boss last month shortly after blasting “selfish” stars for disliking pressure.

And supporters reckon there’s a sickening culture of failure after Spurs blew an amazing comeback at Anfield.
After fighting back from 3-0 down to level in stoppage time, Tottenham saw Diogo Jota fire Liverpool to victory.
One fan posted: “Easy to play when the pressure is off at 3 nil. Turn up when it matters for a change.”
And another claimed: “The key question is how in the hell did Conte manage to finish 4th with these bunch of losers?”
Spurs sacked interim chief Cristian Stellini last week and handed Ryan Mason his second temporary stint in charge.
And they were flattered by the scoreline at Liverpool, even if it needed Jiota to end their recovery by rifling home on 94 minutes.
Star man Harry Kane went level with Wayne Rooney on 208 in the all-time Prem scoring charts, behind only Alan Shearer’s 260 goals.
But the England skipper is being increasingly linked with Manchester United or even Newcastle.

And many fans say they wouldn’t blame Kane if he did leave.
One said of Tottenham’s latest demise: “We come back to this every week, it’s always the same old story.”
Another said: “Conte recognised and called out the owners in a way most of our fans have simply refused to do in years.”
Conte had blasted Spurs on and off the field in an infamous press conference last month.
He said: “They are used to it here. They do not want to play under pressure. They do NOT want to play under stress.
“Tottenham’s story is this – 20 years there is the owner & they never won something. Why!?””
