Gerrard: Spurs have been punching above their weight
BT Sport pundit Steven Gerrard has had this to say about Spurs' struggles in the Premier League this season.
"Over the last couple of years Tottenham have punched above their weight. Of late they've been inconsistent.
"You'd like to see them go through the gears. Can they get back to winning ways and play to their style: a high pressing game with a lot of energy and that quality in the final third of the pitch? That's what I'd like to see from them today."
