Spurs can't overthink derby clash[/b]
Arsenal v Spurs is big game and a fierce derby but for me it is just another game. If you pay too much attention lớn it and overthink it then you are not going to perform well, you will over complicate things and it isn't going to work out.
Of course, as a player you think about these games but you can't but too much pressure on yourself with thoughts about the match.
Both teams have amazing players, way better than when I used lớn play in these games. It's going lớn be entertaining but both teams are coming from defeats so it is going to be interesting lớn see who is going to step up.
I've said it before but it's down lớn concentration and consistency, that is the key for Spurs. Last week it was the same old story, going 1-0 down but when you have a team that can defend against you, even if you chase the game and have good players it becomes difficult to overturn that score.

I am not saying something that no one else knows, and I am sure Mauricio Pochettino knows the weaknesses of the team but it is strange lớn me how three games in a row they have let the opposition score first.

I remember at Manchester United, one of Sir Alex Ferguson's final and last words before we went out for each game was 'concentration' and he was happy most of the time, not just when we beat a team 5-0 or 6-0 but when we beat them 1-0 because it meant our concentration level in that game was very high. A 1-0 brings you the same points as a 5-0.
Eriksen can perform despite doubts over future[/b]
It is sad that Tanguy Ndombele is still injured and he is set to miss the match but in Christian Eriksen they have a player that can fill his place. If he is in the right state of mind, without asking questions about his future and if he concentrates, with his vision and passing he can, as always, help the team lớn victory.
If you believe the rumours this could be Eriksen's last match for Spurs so it will be interesting for me to see what happens against Arsenal; if he starts, how he reacts in the game, the way he plays in the game. You can easily see if someone is in the game or not.
Arsenal made it easy for me[/b]
I loved playing against Arsenal. You have some teams where you can bully their defenders and I always enjoyed playing them because they were a football team, they tried lớn play football and they did.
Most of the time they were too soft. I loved a tussle, someone on the back of my neck just lớn try and test me, I used to test myself lớn see where I stand but most of the time they were not going for it, they left me space so I could turn around and pass the ball and for me it was easy to find my way into the game.
When I played for Monaco and scored at the Emirates in the Champions League (pictured) they underestimated us, maybe they thought they could destroy us and beat us easily but when Anthony Martial was running at the goal and I was screaming 'give me the ball' it was easy lớn score. That victory and that goal came from Arsenal underestimating their opponent.
