We didn't cope with Monaco or Leverkusen. We didn't really know them as such. Perhaps we were ill-prepared (certainly seemed that way on the pitch). But we are better than that. We are a good team who is going through a bad patch. In the middle of this bad patch we were arguably unlucky not to beat Arsenal on their own pitch who were supposedly bang in form too.
The players will be hurting, and in a way this may well have been the perfect preparation for the upcoming game. What we need to get back to is working harder than the opposition and practising the principles Pochettino instilled in this side. High intensity press. When we do it well we can suffocate teams.
I feel like the game will be better suited to us. To be compact and counter.
I think Poch certainly had in mind to play Vertonghen at left back in the hope Toby would be back or would pair Dier and Wimmer. Now perhaps their performances may cause a rethink, but one thing I am certain of is, is that we know this opposition and will be prepared.
I vented a lot last night, it was the worst we've played for ages. I saw individual mistakes from players who very rarely make them. I expect we will be much improved and have a huge point to prove. Every fan is well within their rights to be pi$sed at yesterday, but by the same token we need to rally behind the team. I'm kind of glad we are playing a game that no one expects us to win and away from home too. Hopefully we will end this stupid hoodoo once and for all and wouldn't it be so the new Tottenham thing to do under Pochettino? Keep the faith COYS!
