Conte has spoken to the BBC ahead of this press conference
"In the first half we played with good intensity. We didn't concede anything and we found a team that defended too deep and then we conceded this goal and then the confidence dropped for my players.
"We have to know that our life is this. We have to fight every game for one point or for three points. This is the truth, especially when you are without two or three important players and have difficulties.
"We have different characteristics. We don't have many players who are really good to beat the man. We don't have many creative players in our team. For sure today was really difficult to find space in the first half.
"I'm sure that if we don't concede the goal, we could win the game instead. The goal that we conceded killed us in confidence and in many situations for sure. You have to try and improve and develop these players and especially young players to be even stronger."
On conceding first again: "We have conceded the first goal and for sure we try to play to score goals. There is an opponent like you that can score during the game. We understand very well that the league will be really really difficult for us.
"We have to try to recover all the [injured] players and then we have to know that in every game we have to fight and show that we are strong. The league will be very difficult for us.
"I want to be honest, I want to be very clear. I have said this to the club, I have said my opinions. The fans deserve the best. Maybe to stay in 5th is the best. Maybe 6th, 7th, 5th or 4th is the best."
Conte on the performance
"About the performance I'm not disappointed. From the start to the end I've seen the right committment and desire and intensity. The need to run. If you ask me football is a bit strange. If you ask me we dominated the game, in the first half we didn't create a chance to score because we found a team that defended really deep."
"Then we are unlucky to concede a goal and we affected the belief of the players."
Conte on the squad
We have four players and we have Lucas and Gil, who is a young player but in my opinion he played a good game. Then you have Kane, Son, Kulusevski and Richarlison. If you have these injuries it becomes difficult. Sonny has to continue to improve and it's difficult.
More from the Spurs boss
For the potential of the club, I continue to repeat that we made a miracle. It happened why? Because we played only one competition with 12, 13 players and they didn't have injuries in the last 15 games and we played only the best players. Arsenal were only four points up and we finished 20 points less than Emirates Marketing Project. We did a miracle and I knew the situation.
I was very clear with the club and in the summer people spoke about Tottenham as title contenders. From my experience it was a bit crazy to read this but you have to accept this. To become title contenders you need a solid foundation, 14-15 strong quality players and the young players to develop and every season you can add two players, but two players to invest £60m, £70m players to improve the level of your team.
People think that you arrive and you win in this way. If people are not used to this you need to create this situation, you need time and patience
