This meant the return of Davinson Sanchez, who has been desperately poor. It’s a similar story with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who along with Dejan Kulusevseki might, and only might, be considered for Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon. There are multiple consequences of having to inject back-up players into a side, and against Newcastle, Spurs looked fragmented. One cannot help but feel that Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Doherty, Emerson, and Sessegnon all being in the same starting eleven is ruthlessly handicapping Conte. Thinking with one’s head rather than one’s heart, would any of that group of six walk into any of Europe’s top sides? Losing can become a habit very quickly in football, and of course, we’ve been here before. Is Daniel Levy still happy with his summer business? Are you happy with Tottenham's business? Is there cause for concern at the club? Let us know hereBBC Radio 5 Live will bring you seven live Champions League and Premier League commentaries this week.

On the back of two defeats, Spurs face Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League on Wednesday, in what former Premier League striker Sutton said is a "massive game". "When they lost the away game, some of Conte’s words - ‘Sporting have been a Champions League team for so many years, we haven’t’ - you’re thinking: 'Blimey, '" he told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.
This squad should not be being so tame against the big teams, and certainly not losing to Newcastle at home. What has really disappointed me is the style in which we play. He has removed all attacking flair and individuality from the team. Playing Emerson Royal on Sunday is another indication of rigid tactics. Larry: Conte wants more time/money/players to achieve his aims, but is his brand of football what Spurs fans really want to see week in, week out? Other teams are working out how to beat them and it is boring to watch. David: Such a negative style of football. Square, square, backwards - anywhere but forwards. They all seem to be afraid to lose the ball, hence our backward passing.

"Spurs should be getting out of this Champions League group comfortably with the players they have at their disposal. That is a bit of a cop out from Conte. "It’s OK when you’re winning and you’re winning ugly. But as soon as there are a couple of poor results, everyone is now looking at performances and analysing each game this season and thinking there hasn’t been one standout performance - and that is Conte’s problem.
