Skorza: Wary of Spurs backlash
Wisla Krakow manager Maciej Skorza refuses to take Tottenham lightly in their Uefa Cup clash on Thursday.
Spurs are bottom of the Premier League having failed to win in their opening six games, which is their worst league start for 53 years.
Juande Ramos' side travel to Poland with just a 2-1 advantage from the first leg but Skorza is confident Spurs will soon come good.
"Things aren't going well for them in the league right now so they'll do everything to advance in the Uefa Cup," he said.
"We don't read too much into their form as they are a good side. They have good players and have made good signings."
Wisla claimed a 1-0 home win over Barcelona on their way out of the Champions League qualifiers and the same result against Tottenham will be enough for them to progress to the Uefa Cup group stage.
Skorza insists his side will go all-out for victory and has warned Spurs to expect a Polish onslaught.
"We want to attack from the first minute," he added.
"We want to push them back into the penalty area and play aggressive football.
"We believe that if we can do that Tottenham will start to lose confidence and play worse."
