Barcelona are the clear favourites in Group B of the Champions League, but the FC crew think Tottenham could struggle to finish ahead of Inter Milan. Tottenham took control of the second half at Manchester United, burying three goals in the Theatre of Dreams to up the pressure on Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho reacts to Manchester United's 3-0 loss at home against Tottenham, and heaps praise on the fans at Old Trafford.
Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris will miss their trip to Watford on Sunday with a thigh injury, Mauricio Pochettino confirmed.
Lloris started in Spurs' 3-0 win over Manchester United on Monday, and retained his captaincy despite being charged with drunken driving last week.
"Of course he's going to miss the game against Watford, but we hope for Liverpool he will be ready again," Pochettino said. "It's not a big issue."
After an historic win at Old Trafford, Pochettino said Spurs must remain focused ahead of their trip to Vicarage Road.
"If we're not ready and we believe because we beat Man United 3-0 all is fantastic, we're going to crash," he said. "After an historic win, it's easy to say our performance was fantastic. But if you watch the game the line was thin, between positive & negative."
Spurs this week confirmed that they will apply to the EFL to play their Carabao Cup game with Watford at Stadium MK, and sources told ESPN FC their Premier League match with Manchester City is expected to be moved to Monday Oct. 29 in case there are further delays to the construction of their new stadium.
Pochettino said he is empathetic with the fans and their concerns.
"It's for our fans to understand the circumstances of the club," he said. "What can we do? OK, maybe I can go after the press conference and help the builders, but what else can I do? Maybe I could point my finger and say 'there, there, there.'"
