DIMITAR BERBATOV had his say on Spurs' current predicament.
The Bulgarian was an excellent goal scorer for the Lilywhites, and also appeared at White Hart Lane at half-time of the Bayern Munich match this season.
He told beINSPORTS: ““It always happens with Spurs, they crack at the back and let the other team score a goal, if you want to be a big team, you can't let that happen. 1-0 if you can win this is the most important.
“I remember with Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson was most happy when we win 1-0, not 5-0 or 6-0 because it shows concentration at the back and at the front, you do your job.
“In this case of Spurs, they need to find that consistency, else it's not going to be good for them.
“When I reached the [European] final with Leverkusen in 2001, the next season we fight for relegation. We played badly.
“Dortmund reached the final with Klopp, the next season, they fight relegation. Spurs are the same – they have great players but they have no more excuses. The stadium is there and the training ground is there. Now they need to start producing.”

GOALSCORER Son Heung-min has had his say on Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United.
The South Korean superstar had given Spurs the lead when he pounced on Enda Stevens' mistake in the box.
But after the Lilywhites were pegged back by Eric Dier's own goal, Son told Spurs TV: “It was a tough game, but we’re disappointed we only get this one point, really disappointed.
“We tried to create chances, we had chances to score and we should be more clinical in front of goal. We were 1-0 up, I think we should get the three points.
“Sheffield United did a great job, I have to say that. They created chances and caused us problems. It’s really disappointing and frustrating.”

The Frenchman said: “We are struggling since the beginning of the season. Why? I don't know, because we are trying our best, but it's not working. We see today it was a difficult game against a good team.
“We couldn't keep the score, so we have a lot of frustration, but we need to keep going. We have to stick together and try to work hard and come back stronger. That is the only way to perform.
“Every team can have difficult moments. Since a few weeks we are struggling and that's football. What can you do? Keep working, give your best every day 'til everything turns around.
“We know we have a good squad with a lot of quality. We know we can do better and have to do better. Hopefully we'll go away, have some wins with our national teams, and this will give us confidence. The season is still long, in the Champions League we are doing well.”
