Tottenham might be the league leaders in the Premier League but they have not been able to replicate the same form in the UEFA Europa League this season. Even in the last game against LASK Linz, they threw 2-1 lead to draw the game 3-3. Head coach Mourinho even questioned the attitude of his players after the game, although he did acknowledge that motivation can be an issue in the early stages of this competition.
