VIDEO: Pochettino post game press conference
1 min read
Tottenham threw away two points against Monaco with a poor finishing display. Several times we were through and we blew all our chances except for a goalkeeper save fortunately landing in the path of an alert Lamela.
The fact that Lamela was there, in the area, looking for something is a big plus in itself, it shows he is now getting in the positions consistently to be a goal threat. I pointed this out against Qarabag and once again we saw it. he was running into central positions when we attacked, do that and you'll get chances, stay out the way and you won't.
It is all about overcoming the fear of failure, if you lack confidence you can hide and not put yourself in the position to miss. Lamela has consistently this season been putting himself in those positions, he missed three glorious chances against Qarabag, but was still there for the fourth. That was more important than the goal itself and we saw the benefits against Monaco, he was on th danger zone, in the right place at the right time.
