"To concede 21 goals in the last 10 games, this is usually a team that fight in the relegation zone," Conte told reporters on Friday. "Last season I don't remember how many clean sheets with Hugo but ... in every game this season we concede at least two goals but this is our medium, our average, like a team that is fighting in the relegation zone."

"I think that we are making progress, in my opinion, in some aspects," he said."In other aspects I think we have to come back like last season and to be a bit more solid, a bit more focused, a bit more nasty.
