Tottenham news: Clive Allen explains how Spurs can beat Manchester City in the Champions League

And Allen suggests this has to be the blueprint for beating City.Theyve got to be brave and positive. Get on the front foot, press City,” he told talkSPORT 2.But youve got to be very cautious as well because theyre an exceptional team. Theyve won 14 games on the bounce. I was at Wembley for their FA Cup semi-final against Brighton and theyre maybe looking a little bit jaded, but thats me with my Spurs cap on.However, Allen is worried Tottenhams magnificent new stadium could actually work against the hosts and inspire the visitors.Theyve got so many experienced players who have played at the highest level. Im a little bit worried that it might inspire them [City] to perform, he added.
