Latest Tottenham news: Tottenham players’ second day training in Barcelona
Tottenham continued training in their mini-camp in Barcelona. Mauricio Pochettino took the side away to recharge their batteries after a poor set of results in the league.
Spurs lost three of their last four Premier League games, the latest was the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton.
Tottenham have seen many players play below standards in recent weeks and one of them is Christian Eriksen.
The Dane has had his bright moments this season, however, he didn’t really do well at St. Mary’s.
Spurs have a tough task after the break
Tottenham’s next game is against Liverpool after the international break and it is imperative we don’t drop points against the Reds.
Spurs were beaten by the Reds in the reverse fixture and it won’t be easy to get the better of them at Anfield.
Eric Dier could start for us in the midfield and he would have to shut down the Liverpool midfield.
The Englishman only recently returned from an injury and needs to stay fit until the end of the campaign.
We would also need to keep their attack in check and this is where Jan Vertonghen will come into play.
The Belgian was great as the left-back in our win over Borussia Dortmund a few weeks ago, but he too had a poor game against the Saints at the weekend.
Lucas Moura was anonymous in the loss to the Saints, and hopefully, the Brazilian finds some form during the end of the season.
Serge Aurier didn’t start against the Saints, and it will be interesting to see if he plays against Liverpool.
