This is Tottenham’s 2016/17 Christmas review

CON – Out of Champions League

For all of Spurs’ creativity and defensive stubbornness in the Premier League, they were hopeless in the Champions League, and got knocked out of the competition with still one game to go.

Pochettino’s men were nothing like the fast-flowing, creative Spurs we’ve seen in the league both this season and last, and produced meek display after meek display in the competition, losing twice to Monaco, and also at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Wins over CSKA Moscow secured a passage to the Europa League, but Spurs fans will be disappointed that their side didn’t make more of their opportunity in the Champions League.
