No need to panic Poch
JUST because Tottenham have lost their last two matches doesn’t mean they have become a bad side overnight.
Maybe there’s just a little lack of freshness in the squad and in training because Spurs have been such a settled team for three or four years.
Or perhaps there’s a little lack of form with certain players suffering a World Cup hangover (England’s Harry Kane, above).
Whatever it is, tonight’s game against Inter Milan is a good chance for them to snap back with a win or a confidence-boosting draw.
This isn’t the Inter of old and I’d be disappointed if Spurs didn’t take four points off them in the Champions League group stage.
Tottenham aren’t playing fantastic flowing football, but what Mauricio Pochettino’s side does have is a system in which each player looks round the team and knows what job they and their team-mates are doing.
I imagine they will look in January for bargains, just to give the team a little kick, and I still expect them to do well this time out.
