Antonio Conte has been accused of being too “defensively minded” after another stuttering display from Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.
Spurs have enjoyed a reasonably bright start to the season this term but have stumbled in recent weeks. They lost the North London Derby 3-1 to Arsenal, while losing their first Champions League away game at Sporting Clube de Portugal. Indeed, they've scored just once in open play in their last five away games following a miserable 0-0 stalemate with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany.
Now Ally McCoist has accused Spurs of being too conservative under Conte, given the wealth of attacking talent at their disposal, insisting the side aren't playing to their strengths at present.
