Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has warned his under-performing players they are all on trial after their embarrassing night in the Europa Conference League.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Slovenian minnows NK Mura - the lowest ranked club in the third-tier European competition who were only formed in 2012 and had lost all four of their previous games - as the size of the task Conte inherited was laid bare.
The Italian said after the defeat that having had just three weeks in the role he can now understand what he is dealing with and that Spurs are at a 'not so high' level.

With the January transfer window just around the corner, Conte is assessing his squad before reporting back to the club, which on Thursday night's evidence could be bad news for a number of players.
'I'm making my evaluations and then I'll speak with the club but I'm ready to continue to work in this way,' Conte said.
'But it's important that we have to know that the situation is not simple, simple, no. It's not enough to do this [clicks fingers] and change the situation.
'We need time, we need passion, we need work and I'm here for this. It doesn't mean that we have to change a lot. I'm ready to do what the club want to do. But now, the situation is very clear.'
