GHENT, Belgium -- Moussa Sissoko has said opponents are starting to work Tottenham Hotspur out after their Europa League defeat at KAA Gent on Thursday.
Jeremy Perbet's goal gave the Belgian club a 1-0 victory in the round-of-32 first leg match as the Londoners suffered a second successive defeat.
Tottenham won seven straight games before drawing at Manchester City on Jan. 21 but, since beating League Two Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup fourth round, have won only once in four matches and have not scored from open play.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has used various formations this season but his team's high defensive line, high-intensity pressing and short passes from the back remain consistent.
