Forget Romero: "Disappointing" Spurs star who had 0 shots badly let Conte down on Weds - opinion

Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles under Antonio Conte continued on Wednesday evening as they recorded a fourth defeat in five against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Clarets defender Ben Mee headed home the only goal of the game in the 71st minute, meeting Josh Brownhill’s far-post free-kick to succumb the Italian and his men, who looked a shadow of the side that defeated Premier League leaders Manchester City only a few days ago, to yet another loss.

The 52-year-old head coach would then throw doubt on his future at Spurs in his post-match interview, though some of his remarks were true as he was badly let down by several of the club’s long-serving stars.

“I need to talk to the club. Tottenham have to make an assessment about the club, about me. We need to find the best solution. I can’t accept to keep losing. I’m sorry,” he said, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano on Twitter. “Here coaches change, but players are always the same… but results don’t change.”

For instance, Cristian Romero was enjoying a pretty solid game up until he was beaten by Mee for the winner. And it’s those sorts of defensive mistakes that have been a recurring problem for the north London outfit in recent seasons.

But it’s not the Argentine’s fault that they lost as there were plenty of other players that let Conte down – just as he says, the coaches always change but not the players.

And whilst Heung-min Son isn’t usually a problem, he struggled to have any sort of impact in the final third and that may have cost them at Turf Moor.

“Son very disappointing,” claimed the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick, whilst football.london reporter Alasdair Gold graded him as the worst performer on the night.
