Pedro Porro makes worrying statement about mentality shortcomings in Tottenham squad
Pedro Porro was very blunt in his assessment of Tottenham’s performance against Monaco in the dressing room after the final whistle.
Although Spurs emerged with a point from Stade Louis II, an argument can be made that it was Tottenham’s worst performance of the season, with only the loss at home at Bournemouth perhaps coming close.
The home side peppered the Spurs goal with shots, and Thomas Frank’s men had heroics from Guglielmo Vicario to thank for emerging with a draw.
Frank has admitted that Tottenham no longer have the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son to bail them out in games like the one on Wednesday, with the Dane even hinting that the Spurs squad may be in transition.
Pedro Porro was blunt about Tottenham’s performance against Monaco
Vicario has already accused Tottenham of not having the right mentality and effort against Monaco, and that is an assessment that Porro agrees with.
The right-back confessed that he made it clear to his teammates in the dressing room that they need to have a better mentality to win games in the Champions League.
The Spaniard told Cadena Ser about the 0-0 draw: “We’re not in a bad situation, but let’s hope the second win comes. The other day in the draw against Monaco, I said it in the dressing room: we don’t have the right mentality, and in this competition, they run you over and you don’t even realise it.”
Spurs are still on course to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League
There is no reason to panic for the Lilywhites after two away draws, with Tottenham still favourites to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
In fact, Spurs are still on course to finish in the top eight of the league phase and secure direct passage to the round of 16.
This is because 16 points were enough to finish in the top eight last season, and that means that all Tottenham have to do is continue winning at home and drawing their away matches.
