Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks admits the team experienced some harsh words at the hands of manager Antonio Conte at half-time of their FA Cup tie.
Spurs had to come from behind to defeat lower league Morecambe at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
The Premier League side left it late to level matters, with Harry Winks getting their first in an eventual 3-1 win.
"It wasn't a good enough performance. We were sloppy at times, we didn't play sharp enough, with enough aggression, enough intensity," the English midfielder said.
"I think everyone could have upped their game by a lot and at half-time there was a lot of harsh words and honest words said.
"We weren't good enough, we know that. These are the types of games where, in the first 15 minutes you need to settle everybody, score early and then hopefully it can be an enjoyable afternoon.
"We made it from an enjoyable afternoon into a tough afternoon and we shouldn't have done that."
