I certainly don't blame his "dinosaur tactics" that won Serie A 2 seasons ago as the problem that Bissouma struggled to do the very basics of football last season.
I think we will have a more "positive" feeling around the team while getting lesser results than we did under Conte and because our fans are so weak and have such little ambition they will celebrate it.
I think this was likely the biggest factor in Bissouma's season last year, he seemed to never really get over missing time and the effects of Covid in the summer and never was able to fit in.

Didnt say anyone complain about conte in italy or not being a good coach
But he was checked out last season, he didnt change the shape once, he barely integrated last years new signings, refused to play spence when royal was giving nothing
Also just look at the average positioning of spurs players last weekend vs last year, the midfield were 10-20 yards higher with more freedom. Of course bissouma is going to play better when hes not stuck in a double pivot who seemingly wasnt allowed to cross the half way line in the 1st half of games or until down 2 goals.
Conte has a great history but his tactics and lack of adjustment was garbage last season.
