4. Euro failure=Champions League success

In a weird way, I think the failure of several Tottenham stars for England in Euro 2016 is going to work to Spurs’ advantage. Look for Kyle Walker, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Eric Dier to play with extra fire against today.

My logic here is pretty simple. Each one of the players who flopped for England, is going to be desperate to erase those memories. There’s no better way to get rid of a bad memory than to replace it with a good one.

The easiest way to do that will be for those Tottenham stars to play their best football against Monaco. Look for the English international quartet to play with an extra edge in the Champions League opener. They will all be running with a little extra pace around Wembley today.
