Monaco scored two goals in the first half, which is more than they managed in ten opening halves during the 2014-15 season when they reached the quarter-finals.
“We improved in the second half and had chances to win the game but after conceding the first they started to play comfortably with the ball and with calmness”.
“We can not concede in that way at this level, in the Premier League, the Champions League. Parking will be easier than at White Hart Lane now, which is very hard”. “We were better than Monaco, but they were more effective in both areas than us”.
He admitted “it was a game that we started well”, but went on to say that “it was hard to adapt” after the first goal went in, one which he commented “you can not concede at this level” in possible reference to how easy Silva found it to dance through the midfield and score.
“I’m happy to play anywhere in this team”, said Alli. “Maybe it’s a little bit bigger than White Hart Lane but in the end it’s football, so we need to enjoy it and play better than Monaco”.
“It is not new”.
“We need to play the way we are meant to play”.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane agrees with Pochettino and claims a strong English core that includes internationals Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Dele Alli and himself, can help them settle in the venue where they play for their country. It was a fantastic opportunity for us.
“My first time I went training at Wembley, the stadium was unbelievable”.
Monaco pulled off a minor upset in London, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in their Champions League Group E opener at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday. I think I must have handled Diego Costa okay. “It’s a different competition, a bigger competition, with different players”.
The England global impressed during the 2015 defeat by Chelsea but he said of the occasion: “It wasn’t a good day because we’d have liked to have won it, so I’m not sure (it was good for me)”.

“We will have a look at (Dirar) tonight (to assess the level of injury)”. We want to make great memories.
