Tottenham have struggled in recent weeks and the loss against Inter Milan was the latest blow. Spurs were leading till the 85th minute before two blows from the Italians cost us three points.
A winning start to the Champions League would have been, great given that we didn’t travel with a couple of our stars.
Toby Alderweireld and Kieran Trippier were left in London. The duo participated in our losses against Watford and Liverpool but didn’t travel due to a “technical decision,” as per Mauricio Pochettino.
The Spurs account tried to lift the mood by wishing the Englishman on his birthday but that didn’t go as planned.
Happy birthday, @trippier2! 🎉#COYS pic.twitter.com/1PPaWOsQMs

A few Tottenham supporters were upset with the recent results and let rip on Twitter. Trippier has had a fantastic six months or so, especially during the World Cup, but that didn’t stop some fans from having a go.
You’ll probably stop him from celebrating his birthday for technical reasons

That’s why they left him at home, had a party organised

Ah now we know why he didn’t travel to Milan, sounds like he didn’t wanna miss his birthday cake 🎂

Yesterday’s loss to Inter Milan was just the perfect Birthday gift for him.
