PSG 2-2 Tottenham: What positives will Spurs take?

Tottenham “will feel a lot of positives” around how they performed against Paris St-Germain despite it ending in penalty heartbreak, says former Spurs winger Aaron Lennon.

“Their whole structure looked better,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast. “There was so much discipline and you need that in the Premier League.

“There were too many times last season where the team were too open and they got exposed, but under Thomas Frank I think we are going to see a much more organised Tottenham side.

“Once the dust has settled from the defeat, they will feel a lot of positives.”

Ex-goalkeeper Paul Robinson added: “They were able to adapt and change throughout the game, but just couldn’t hold on.

“You can see that Frank is tactically aware of how to try to beat a team who are inferior because the structure and set-plays were there against PSG.

“You could see the players had an understanding and there was an enjoyment around being without the ball. They were quite comfortable to retreat into a defensive shape but then knew what the trigger was to break out of that and press again.

“That is something we’ve not seen before from Spurs.”
