We will have to be at our best — and our most concentrated — if we are going to do well against Spurs on Saturday.
They have many excellent players but the one who is maybe the unsung hero is Christian Eriksen.
I don’t want to say he is under-rated because everyone in Europe is aware of the talent that he possesses.
Apart from being a vital link in their team, he is also making clever little moves into pockets of space or into the box.
He is clinical in those situations. If you ball watch for a second or two, he is gone.
He has wonderful movement with or without the ball.
We have to concentrate on our tasks for the whole 90 minutes tomorrow, especially in the middle of the park, and if they find that space, we need to squeeze them.
Even if we do that, they will have chances but if they do, then you expect the block or a goalkeeper’s save.

We know we realistically cannot control the whole pitch but we want to send them into areas where we don’t mind them playing.
The more you do that, the better chance we have.
We also have to be good when we are on the ball. You have to push them back, break their rhythm.
The key for us is to steal the ball early from them and then keep it — make them nervous.
