Why Tottenham should be terrified about set pieces against Monaco on Tuesday

Teams at either end of the table meet in an all-important Premier League affair.

“I don’t think this is the right moment to talk about my contract, but I want to repeat my commitment is to the club and there is no rush”. The pair looked like they would be an unstoppable force together in the starting XI before injuries struck the two of them.

Kane missed six weeks of Tottenham’s season after suffering ankle ligament damage against Sunderland in September.

The England Under-21 international’s performance in the London derby against West Ham suggests that he has the quality to play in big matches for Tottenham. Shearer continued on Spurs: “Their play was slow, they didn’t get in behind enough, they didn’t dislodge the three centre halves and West Ham were pretty comfortable”.

Full-backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose were particularly vulnerable to rotation as players who got up and down the pitch while the core players like Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Harry Kane playing in upwards of 45 matches.

Despite that Pochettino is wary of asking too much of players who have recently had spells on the sidelines and took part in Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 win over West Ham United in the Premier League.

Sppurs felt they should have had a penalty for Pedro Obiang’s manhandling of Harry Kane but Dean wasn’t interested.

“Hopefully if I keep scoring and we start winning trophies, as we have the capability to do, I’ll become a Tottenham great”. That’s what they have to be ready for. I’ve managed to captain Spurs a couple of times. But asked if Pochettino plans to try and mark the Frenchman out of the game, he said: “No, because we never play like this”.

He added: “We have got a great young team, new training ground, new stadium being built, great young manager”.

He remains the greatest threat to Spurs registering their first win in eight matches this weekend. If we had won against Tottenham it would have made things easier for us going into that game, but we have to keep going.

“For the players that victory was very important”. We did well to get back to 1-1 and all the momentum was with us.

“We know if we don’t win on Tuesday then we are more or less out of the competition so the manager will put out a strong team, I am sure, and we will go out to win that and then again on Saturday against Chelsea”.
