Our Chief Sports Writer Andy Dunn answers YOUR questions on the growing problems at Spurs ahead of their Europa League clash with Hoffenheim
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou offered a bristly response when questioned over their tight FA Cup victory over Tamworth. Spurs looked to be heading for a potentially historic FA Cup shock at the Third Round stage as the fifth-tier side took them to extra time at The Lamb Ground.
