Paul Robinson insists Tottenham enter their UEFA Cup showdown with Besiktas as underdogs.Besiktas have never beaten an English team at the Inonu Stadium and a glance down the two likely team-sheets suggests Spurs hold most of the aces heading into the Group B clash. But Robinson insists Besiktas, who are third in the Turkish league, are formidable opposition and stressed the importance of keeping a clean sheet."Besiktas are a very strong team. They have passionate support but are also a good side, very gifted technically. They also have a good manager in Jean Tigana," he said. "When you come away from home the first thing you have to do in the first 20 minutes is keep a clean sheet."
