Antonio Conte reverts to similar excuse as Tottenham dealt fresh reality check

Antonio Conte has reiterated that Tottenham will need time and further investment before they are in a position to compete in the Champions League following Tuesday night's 0-0 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Conte stuck with the same side that slumped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Arsenal in the north London derby at the weekend, but they were unable to make amends against their stubborn hosts in Germany.
