Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo defended his decision to delay substitutions in their 1-0 defeat to West Ham United in the Premier League.
Spurs, who were coming off a 1-0 defeat in the Europa Conference League against Vitesse.
Michail Antonio netted the winner for the Hammers on Sunday in the 71st minute.
"No, I don't regret it," said Nuno of his late changes, with Bryan Gil, Steven Bergwijn and Giovani Lo Celso making minimal impact after coming on.
"The game like I said was under control. Changes are required when we think we should. The boys were playing good and then we made the changes in the moment that we felt that the team needed."
Asked about his team's lack of creativity, Nuno added: "No, no, no. I think the team needs to be balanced, to be balanced in terms of the presence of the players.
"Besides being good players they give us the balance the team needs. And we have enough creativity with our full-backs, our attackers. I don't agree with you, I don't agree with you."
