“I’ve never been more scared”, “Rest Kane” – Some Tottenham fans are worried as Champions League campaign begins

Tottenham Champions League

Tottenham don’t have an easy group in the Champions League this season. We faced a similar problem the last term as well when we were paired with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

This time around, Barcelona and Inter Milan are also fighting for the top two spots in the group and we have dark horses PSV Eindhoven waiting to pick up the scraps.

Our first game of the competition is against Inter at San Siro and our recent performances haven’t been great.

Since defeating Manchester United, Tottenham have lost back-to-back games. And in both clashes, we looked out of sorts and didn’t play our slick brand of attacking football.

Mauricio Pochettino looked bereft of ideas and Harry Kane looked tired and beat. We were lucky Liverpool didn’t embarrass us further in the previous fixture and some of the fans were concerned about our Champions League chances.

Tottenham travel to San Siro for their first Champions League clash of the season and this trip should spark memories of the last time we faced Inter Milan in the competition.

“Must never play again” – Some Tottenham fans do not want this star on the plane to Milan

by
Michel Vorm

Started two games, lost both of them – that is the record Michel Vorm has for us this season. The Dutch keeper started against Watford and Liverpool and in both matches, the score was 2-1 in favour of the opposition.

The former Swansea City keeper was at fault for both goals against the Reds on Saturday but he could still play in our Champions League opener against Inter Milan.

Hugo Lloris picked up an injury prior to the international break and is expected to be out for a while. We do have Paulo Gazzaniga but playing him at such a high-voltage clash could be too big a risk for Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham shared some essential travel details for those travelling to San Siro and some fans did not want the Dutchman to travel to Italy at all.
