Monaco send Spurs packing from Champions League

Top football tips today sites still have them down as one of the favorites for the title but they cannot afford a big slip up or they will find themselves with too many points to catch back up.

“Unfortunately, we weren’t able to score, and we came up against a good Monaco side”.

Tottenham Hotspur will consider abandoning Wembley Stadium should they drop to the Europa League, with players eager to return to White Hart Lane.

Tottenham had a late chance to net their equaliser when a corner kick fell for Alli, but his volley failed to hit the target and they slumped to defeat.

“We are out and we have time to assess and analyze”, he said after the game. It’s important that we keep hold of all our players and keep building on this great team that we have.

He said they would need more talent in future campaigns in Europe.

“We are competitive in the Premier League, because we are unbeaten after 12 games and near the top”. “We have quality, yes”.

The manner of the defeat – with the Lilywhites conceding just 39 seconds after Harry Kane’s penalty had hauled them level – will have been particularly galling for the Argentine, who must now prepare his side for Saturday’s clash with Chelsea.

“We got ourselves back in the game at 1-1 and it was schoolboy to concede straight after that”, Kane told BT Sport. Monaco had played their league game last Friday night whereas we played against West Ham on Saturday night and it was like a final.

Kenny also noted tactical shortcomings in terms of the shape Mauricio Pochettino went for in midfield, also highlighting the second Monaco goal as an example. Maybe I can say we struggle a little bit.

Former ‘Spurs player Glenn Hoddle said Tottenham were poor both defensively and in possession.

The home side did not let that miss get to them, instead continuing to look the more risky side but it took them until three minutes into the second half to get the breakthrough. Comparisons with Leicester, who have taken the football world by surprise again this season by reaching the last 16 with a match to spare, are inevitable, and Spurs have fallen short again.

Things could have been much worse for the English Premier League (EPL) club but for the heroics of Tottenham’s French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Glik was perhaps fortunate not to receive a red card for standing on a prone Kane right in front of the referee as the half drew to a close, but the real drama began after the restart.

But Lloris is convinced the Chelsea game can be the ideal tonic for the club to bounce back and a good performance can help them forget their Champions League woes. We will not go through, we are still fighting for the Europa League but it’s not enough for a club like Spurs.

“Tomorrow is another day and we need to look forward”.
