What’s Hot and What’s Not from Tottenham’s Champions League campaign

NOT – Poor performances

It’s not just the fact that they lost three, two of which were at Wembley, of their six games, but it was the manner that really irritated and somewhat surprised Spurs fans.

Pochettino’s men seemed unable to transfer their league form, which has been pretty good at times this season, into their Champions League matches.

They were often quite lethargic in possession and struggled to create many clear cut opportunities, while they also looked suspect at the back, and had goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to thank for keeping them in the competition with a 0-0 draw at Bayer Leverkusen.

There seems to be something missing when Spurs get on the big stage, perhaps a mentality issue, and it’s something that needs sorting fast if they want to establish themselves on the European stage, and indeed win domestic trophies.
