Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte appeared to question his own future at the club after his side slumped to a fourth loss in five Premier League games with a 1-0 defeat in pouring rain against Burnley on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s 3-2 win at Manchester City briefly lifted the gloom of three successive defeats, but Spurs failed to fire up against relegation battlers Burnley and went down to Ben Mee\u2019s 71st-minute header.<\/p>\n
Conte described the current run as \u201cunacceptable\u201d and raised doubts about his ability to turn around the club\u2019s fortunes, having been hired in November to replace Nuno Espirito Santo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are doing everything to change the situation, but it\u2019s not enough. Four defeats out of five is not good enough. This doesn\u2019t happen to me,\u201d the Italian, a serial winner with Juventus, Chelsea and Internazionale, told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I\u2019m not so good. Tottenham called me to change things but I\u2019m too honest. I could just take my salary, but I\u2019m too honest. We\u2019ve lost four out of five games. This is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tottenham huffed and puffed, but a Harry Kane header against the woodwork was the closest they came to scoring.<\/p>\n
Defeat left Tottenham in eighth place with 39 points from 24 games, seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United having played two games less.<\/p>\n
Conte knows if his side is to have any chance of making a late run for the top four, performances like the one at City on Saturday cannot just be a flash in the pan.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe there is something wrong; I want to take responsibility, if I have that, I\u2019m open for every decision,\u201d Conte said. \u201cI want to help Tottenham from the first day I arrive. Also to take my salary. It is not right at this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Saturday we play another game [at Leeds], it\u2019s the moment to see the situation and make an assessment. I\u2019m trying to do everything but the situation is not changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the last five games, we are playing like we are in relegation, this is the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to try to improve the situation and also to make an assessment with the club. Because if we continue in this way, maybe we have to pay great attention because in this league we can finish 10th, 12th, 13th \u2014 the same way that when I arrive here, the same position.\u201d<\/p>\n
