Hoddle: I don't know what Tottenham doing

Tottenham hero Glenn Hoddle was left disappointed with their Champions League defeat at home to RB Leipzig.

RBL won the first-leg of their round 16 tie 1-0 last night.

"I'm concerned," Hoddle told BT Sport. "I don't know what they're [Tottenham] doing.

"I am a little bit [worried]. I don't see a team pressing together, and I don't see a team with good movement when they've got possession.

"You've got a problem there. And I think playing 4-4-2 in straight lines, there's nothing wrong with it if you come off the lines and make a three in midfield and you have the strikers with the movement.

"I said it at half time, they look like a team that are just hoping they're going to play well, hoping they'll get a break.

"I don't see a team like Leipzig - they've got shape on the ball, they press, they knew both sides of the game what they were all about, and you can see they were miles ahead of Tottenham on the night."
