Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 1-0 by Gent in the Europa League last night.
Jermaine Jenas has told BT Sport on 16th February that he finds it worrying that Tottenham Hotspur are now getting out worked in matches.
Spurs were beaten 1-0 by Gent in the Europa League last night, and their performance was awful.
Tottenham never got out of first gear throughout the contest, despite Mauricio Pochettino naming a strong starting line-up.

And, after Spurs put in a similarly meek performance against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend, Jenas is starting to be concerned about his former side.
“I didn’t like the 4-3-3 initially. What’s worrying is that for a Tottenham team renowned for working hard, they’ve been outworked in their last two games,” he said. “I’ve not seen Harry Kane have a kick for two games. They’ve been getting outworked, that’s a worry.”
Gent actually rested players for the match, but the Belgian side still proved too strong for Pochettino’s men.
Jeremy Perbet’s second half strike was the only goal in the game, with Tottenham now having work to do to progress.

Spurs will host Gent in the second leg on their Europa League tie next Thursday at Wembley.
Before that contest, Pochettino’s side will want to get back to winning ways, by getting past Fulham at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup on Sunday.
