Gary Neville has said on his podcast that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte looked “very flat” on the touchline in the first half of the North London derby against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
Tottenham suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Both the goals for the Gunners came in the first half.
While Tottenham stepped up their game in the second period, the damage had already been done.
Arsenal were by far the superior team in the opening 45 minutes and were the better team over the course of the 90 minutes.
Former Manchester United defender Neville was following the match for Sky Sports.
The pundit was on co-commentary duty for the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
And he noticed that Conte looked flat on the touchline.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager is a very fiery character.
The Italian is very passionate on the touchline and is always trying to motivate his players.
However, Neville noticed that Conte was unusually quiet and flat in the first half of the North London derby.
