MAIL ONLINE: Psychology professor says Spurs players will be feeling the pressure of Wembley

Description

Professor Cary Cooper of Manchester University believes the lack of recent success under the arch will start to take its toll on Tottenham’s players in the future.

“It will play on them,” Cooper told Press Association Sport. “Footballers are superstitious and they will link it to the stadium, link it to the fan response and when they are losing the fans will be less responsive and that is a negative.

“All that they have to do is win a couple of these games and that all changes, that is what they have to do. Just ride this out, they have the double-whammy of a new stadium and their poor record there in the past.”
