Tottenham Hotspur vs Asteras Tripolis FC
(Europa League Group Stage)
Spurs
is back into Europa action after a dismal 4-1 loss to Manchester City
over the weekend, facing Greek side Asteras Tripolis at White Hart Lane.
Since
the group stage began, Spurs had been held to draws against the other 2
teams in Group C. Pochettino would have to be astute and prudent to
achieve maximum results from this match as well as the next 2, an EPL
fixture and a League Cup game, all coming within 6 days. The pattern of
having separate teams for league and cup games, with few crossovers, is
the obvious tactic now, but I personally felt more could be done by
“pushing the envelope” of having more crossovers to strengthen the team.
Asteras
Tripolis, who is now topping Group C, came a long way from the second
qualifying round to the group stage. Their current manager, Vergetis,
was hailed as a rising coaching star in Greek football. Watch out for
their strikers, most of them sharing Messi’s nationality.
