The damning reasons why Antonio Conte was so disappointed with his Tottenham stars

Antonio Conte was left a disappointed man at the final whistle of Tottenham's flat 1-0 defeat at home to Brighton on Saturday and a quick dip into his players' stats show exactly why.

Spurs had been on a run of seven wins out of nine Premier League matches but they produced a dismal display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Graham Potter's well organised side. Tottenham will have had a week to put things right before they travel to in-form Brentford side with former Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen pulling the strings.

After the defeat to the Seagulls, Conte explained: "Brighton were very good to close every space, but we helped our opponent because we moved the ball slowly. We are able to do much better than today. Maybe a more fair final result was a draw, but Brighton played a good game. They're a really good team, well organised with a good manager, and if you win against Arsenal and Tottenham away, it means your team is a good team."

Spurs skipper Hugo Lloris pinpointed some of those mistakes he was seeing being made in front of him on the pitch.

"Today there are plenty of questions about the performance that we need to answer, why we could not increase the intensity, why we could not change the rhythm at some point in the game and then today we were a bit too slow in transition by passing the ball and we lost a lot of easy balls," said the goalkeeper.

"This doesn't help the confidence individually and of course for the team. The atmosphere was so great. The warm-up before the game, we didn't use well this positive energy and we can understand well the frustration from the fans. We are so very disappointed and
