Match Olympique de Marseille VS Tottenham Hotspur. Tuesday 1st November. UEFA Champions League. 8PM KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It is absolutely imperative that we start this game well. This is a big game at an atmospheric stadium and going 2 down here won't be the same as going 2 down vs Bournemouth. It's going to be a very hard game and we will need a 90 minute performance and not a 45 one to see this through.

We don't seem to be able to stop falling back into a deep defensive position.

Go back to Mourinho, who was being blamed for negative tactics and he kept saying "I'm not telling them to do this"

Lloris, Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Sessegnon, Doherty, Hoijberg, Son, Kane, Moura, all there then all here now.
It's a mental thing, the squad shits the bed and tries to drop deep I'm sure of it.
Kanes even said now that when we're losing there's nothing (more) to lose so we go for it.

It's like we're defending a lead when it's 0-0.

But tonight we are defending a lead, insomuch that we don't need to win the match, so it's like we're 1-0 up from the outset.

Tim Sherwood stated emphatically on Talksport this morning that we need to start on the front foot at Marseille tonight, or we're done for.

Thanks Tim. So that means we'll need a nice steady, solid defensive performance early doors then.

Actually caught a bit of this interview live this morning in the car.

He surprised me a little bit. When they asked him what he thought of Levy he was quite reasonable and offered a balanced opinion. He also spoke about Sugar when he played under him at Spurs.
I fully expected him to let rip at both but he was fine.
