Speed machine a serious concern: Three things learned about Tottenham in Juventus clash
Aurier a serious concern
While questions will be asked about the performance of left back Ben Davies after his shocking start allowed Juve to go 2-0 up, it was the man on the other side of defence who had the more worrying all round performance.
Guilty of giving up possession on numerous times, he showed just how reckless he can be with a wild challenge which threatened to completely derail Spurs’ comeback at the end of the first half.
While usually a potent threat up front with his pace and drive, he struggled to get the better of his Juventus counterparts, and his crossing left much to be desired.
His display will be a concern for Pochettino who will be wondering whether he can trust the Ivorian in the big games – but will not have to worry about it in three weeks after he picked up a yellow card resulting in his suspension for the second leg.
