'It's genuinely shocking scoreline'- ex-Spurs player Waddle on Tottenham defeat

The ex-Spurs midfielder Chris Waddle believes the horrible result against the German champions can be attributed to off-field issues and poor tactics.

Tottenham have been described as a "shambles" by former Spurs favourite Chris Waddle after their "genuinely shocking" 7-2 capitulation to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Speaking in his role as a pundit on BBC Radio Five Live , Waddle believes the result was borne out of Spurs' poor handling of off-field issues and says he does not understand the tactics on the pitch being used by under-pressure coach Mauricio Pochettino.

"I do not get the tactics," Waddle said. "It's not playing to their strengths.

"I don't think Serge Aurier wants to be there, Christian Eriksen hasn't signed a new contract. There is so much going on off the pitch.

"It should have been dealt with over the summer instead all the contract questions are still going on.

"It's a shambles. You have no idea where you stand. A club of this stature should not be like this. They have to sort it out quickly."

"It's a genuinely shocking scoreline," Waddle said.

"Tottenham going forward are quite good - you have so many players there who can score goals but the forwards cannot win the games on their own.
