A few Tottenham Hotspur stars are reportedly hoping that manager Antonio Conte is sacked after he publicly criticised them this weekend.
The Italian tactician laid into his own players after the 3-3 draw with Southampton on Saturday, where had been leading 3-1 with 15 minutes to play in the second half.

"I'm not used to seeing this type of situation. I see a lot of selfish players and I don't see a team," Conte told Sky Sports.
"We are 11 players that go into the pitch. I see selfish players, I see players that don't want to help each other and don't put their heart [in]."
The Sun have reported that there are parts of the dressing room who want Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to relieve Conte of his duties during the international break.
Conte's current contract expires at the end of the season, but it is now highly unlikely that he will sign an extension despite the club still in position to qualify for the top four.
The report adds that the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager has lost some support in the dressing room as a result of his explosive rant after the Saints game.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports claim that Conte did clarify to the club board that his comments were only directed at the players and not the hierarchy in North London.
