Jamie O’Hara has been speaking to Sky Sports ahead of a crucial night for Tottenham in the Champions League, where he made a comment about Arsenal.

O’Hara tells Tottenham to avoid copying Arsenal

Well, the Spurs fan – who is no stranger to aiming a dig at the Gunners – issued a rallying cry to Tottenham on Sky Sports earlier today, on a night where his beloved side could crash out of the Champions League.

Tottenham must beat Marseille to book their place in the knockout stages, although a draw will be enough if Sporting Lisbon and Eintracht Frankfurt also draw their encounter in Group D.

Speaking ahead of the game, O’Hara said: “Watching us recently, it’s not been great, we’ve not been very good viewing. Antonio Conte knows what he needs from his players, the players have got to step up, and they have to produce. We cannot be playing on Thursday nights like Arsenal.”

In truth, it would be quite embarrassing for Tottenham to drop into the Europa League tonight, especially as Group D seemed to be quite simple to navigate out from – with all due respect to the other three sides.

Tottenham threw away a vital point in the dying stages against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, conceding twice in stoppage time to mark a 2-0 win for Ruben Amorim.

Then, Spurs slipped up once again when faced with Sporting Lisbon.

The north Londoners absolutely hammered the Portuguese giants in N17 last week, but we unable to find themselves a winner due to a number of missed chances – VAR also ruled out a late goal from Harry Kane.

Tottenham must give it everything

After all the boasting and the celebrating following that ultimately decisive 3-0 win over Arsenal last season, Tottenham simply cannot afford to drop into the Europa League – it would be wholly embarrassing.

Antonio Conte’s sides often play unadventurous, defensive football, and while that can work out over the course of a season, it will not suffice tonight.

Tottenham need to go on the front foot to win the game – they cannot languish their way to a draw and hope other results go their way.

If Spurs put in another lethargic display devoid of any attacking invention, and end up crashing out of the Champions League, there will be fury in N17 tonight.
