As a Tottenham man, I was alarmed to see the performance against Bayer Leverkusen at Wembley on Wednesday night. It was as bad as I have seen the team play for 18 months and a real worry going into such an important game as the north London derby against Arsenal.
Only now are you seeing the fragility of this team and their weakness. In a sense, that is a credit to Mauricio Pochettino, in that he has kept them at such a high level for so long. But I think that Wednesday and the recent run of six games without a win is beginning to show why they fell short of the league title last season.
