Amoruso, ex Fiorentina defender, Spurs have limitations


He reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners Cup with Fiorentina in 1997 only to lose out to eventual champions Barcelona after winning the Coppa Italia in 1996. He was captain of both Fiorentina and Rangers with whom he won three trebles in the 1998–99, 1999–2000, 2002–03 seasons.

Amoruso, who also has three injury interrupted years at Blackburn Rovers, is now 43 and he was on air with Radio Viola during the draw for the UEFA Europa League.

"Fiorentina has not happened very well in the draw. The Viola have proven to be a team not in total harmony, much the same as Tottenham. Now we must not worry, we can go through.  
"Tottenham are strong, they have great players, but they have limitations, defensively they have limitations and confidence in themselves is fundamental."

He is right in what he says. Christian Eriksen said after the Swansea game that Tottenham had stopped giving away easy goals but Swansea scored an easy goal 3 minutes after the re-start with a quick give and go that beat Ben Davies all ends up. Wilfried Bony missed several easy chances so we still certainly have defensive frailties.
