Tottenham player ratings: Spurs loss to Monaco

There weren’t many bright spots for Tottenham in the Monaco loss

Regular readers of my work know that I’m a generally positive person when it comes to Spurs. Unfortunately, after Tottenham’s dismal performance in the 2-1 loss to Monaco, I’m not feeling very optimistic.

As such, if you’re looking for someone who’s going to wax lyrical about the wonderful occasion that is Champions League football you should likely go somewhere else. I’ll be delivering the post-mortem report on what was a very grim performance by Tottenham.

Sure, a few players managed to grind out decent performances, but the squad on the whole was pretty poor. I don’t know if it was the larger pitch at Wembley or the intimidation of the moment, but Spurs didn’t look ready from the opening whistle.

The only real bright side is that this was just one Champions League match out of what will be a grueling Group Stage set. Tottenham have made things much harder on themselves by dropping their home opener. Without further comment, read on for Tottenham’s individual player ratings for the match. We’ll begin with the moribund attack.
