Spurs ‘mental instability’ to blame for loss – Conte
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Spurs manager Antonio Conte blamed his team&#8217;s 3-2 loss to Southampton on Wednesday night on &#8216;mental instability&#8217; among the group.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mohamed Elyounoussi and Che Adams both headed home James Ward Prowse&#8217;s cross in the second half to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 victory for the Saints.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">After Jan Bednarek&#8217;s own goal and a Son Heung-min strike either side of Armando Broja&#8217;s strike, Spurs were in command.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">VAR also ruled off Steven Bergwijn&#8217;s stoppage-time equalizer for Spurs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Conte has now criticized his team&#8217;s performance when they have the ball.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We must, without a doubt, be disappointed. They were good, but I believe we made numerous errors, particularly with the ball, and I believe this type of situation causes mental instability in my team.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;I have seen the two goals and we conceded two goals with the defensive line had to stay there. We need to be more accurate but I know very well that this season we are going to struggle to get three points and I said this before and I continue to repeat it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">&#8220;I believe we are improving in many areas now,&#8221; he remarked, &#8220;but we are still too emotional.&#8221;</span></p>
