Having capitulated in the final 10 minutes against Inter Milan to lose 2-1 and then being given a footballing lesson by Barcelona at Wembley, Tottenham’s Champions League campaign is on the ropes already. Spurs won a tough group including Real Madrid last season, but this time round second place is the best they can hope for and if that is possible then their trip to PSV is simply one they have to win. Mauricio Pochettino has rested players in the opening two games but that might not be possible against the Dutch side who have also lost their opening two games.
