Tottenham Hotspur's defeat against Brentford in the Premier League saw head coach Antonio Conte come under intense scrutiny as fans and analysts alike questioned his tactics, decisions and leadership.

The match at Brentford was not without controversy, with Conte being accused of making poor substitutions that led to Tottenham conceding a goal just before half-time. The Italian's decision to replace Son Heung-min with Lucas Moura in the second half also came under fire, with some suggesting it was a tactical error that allowed Brentford to score their only goal.

Conte has been in charge of Tottenham for just over a year and has yet to win any major trophies, including the Premier League or UEFA Champions League. His team currently sits in seventh place in the table, six points off the top four.

While there have been moments of brilliance from players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli, many believe that Conte's approach is not working. With Spurs struggling to keep up with the pace of the top teams, Conte will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if he wants to save his job.

For now, the focus is on seeing how Conte responds to the criticism and whether he can steer his team towards a more successful season. Whether or not he remains in charge beyond this summer remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Conte will need to improve if Tottenham Hotspur want to make a serious push for success in the coming seasons.
