We almost cried at Champions League anthem – Pochettino

“In the end we were much better than Monaco”.

“The players here need to step up a level, they need to show this is not their level”.

Moyes is set to hand a first Premier League start in midfield to £13.6 million (RM73.15 million) record signing Didier Ndong, and suggests the players can show they are the solution not the problem by putting up a good performance.

“As a striker you have to be confident”, Kane told reporters at Wembley.

Sunderland have a worryingly long injury list at this early stage of the season. “You were sh*t” he said to me and spelt out exactly why.

I still think they will win this game, but I don’t think it’s going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination.

“In the second half we showed a lot of passion and we played very well”.

He added: “I’ve always felt Spurs are better in the big games. We all have in our minds, why?” If you give them a present like we gave it’s impossible to come back again and get a result. I blame myself too. “Maybe I didn’t know how to get the motivation [across] to play on Wednesday night in the Champions League”.

“I think maybe he will be ready to be selected next week, maybe but not sure”, said Pochettino. “We showed a lack of passion today a little bit because we can not concede that first goal”, Pochettino said.

‘We’ve a top squad here full of worldwide players, so it’s hard but you have to keep your head down, keep working hard every day and see where it takes you’.

One massive plus for the Black Cats in recent weeks has been the return of Lee Cattermole to first-team training, while German midfielder Jan Kirchhoff was back in the starting XI against Everton on Monday.

“We had 90,000 people in front of us, waiting for us to play Champions League”. The atmosphere was incredible.

“I’m disappointed we had to settle for a scoreless draw because everyone was expecting us to win three or four nil”, said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have sometimes struggled to fire themselves up for matches they are expected to win, but despite this Redknapp can not look beyond a Tottenham win on Sunday. “I don’t have pressure”, Sissoko said.

“I’m very happy to be here”.

Most of these players are clients of super-agent Jorge Mendes and buying players from AS Monaco is known to be a thing that just a few clubs can afford. The second chance they scored.

“Monaco controlled the game really well, they condensed the space really well in that middle third and when they won the ball they were able to break”. “The thing is I am not a fan, I am a professional and I analyse it in a different way”.
