As their campaign got off to a sluggish start, Mauricio Pochettino has accused his Tottenham players of failing to go according to plan in their Champions League draw with Olympiacos.

Having led 2-0 after half an hour in Athens, Spurs were pegged back to draw 2-2, allowing Bayern Munich to move top of Group B with a 3-0 win over Red Star Belgrade.

Harry Kane scored the opening goal with a penalty 26 minutes in, while Lucas Moura struck a fine second but Daniel Podence and Mathieu Valbuena scored a goal each which resulted in a draw and sealed a point for the Greek side.

Pochettino was not happy at all with Spurs' performance throughout the contest and felt they did not show enough level of commitment and effort.

I feel very disappointed. To be honest, first half, I wasn't happy with our performance," he said.
From the beginning, we had a plan. We didn't respect the plan. I told the players at half-time.

His disappointment stems from their performance that wasn't great coupled with the fact that they conceded a lot of chances to score goals.
