Danny Rose hopes the tears after losing out on the Premier League title can inspire a Champions League turnaround against Monaco. The Spurs and England left-back has revealed the emotional impact on some of his club team-mates after drawing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season meant Leicester City were crowned English champions. Despite qualifying for the Champions League, Mauricio Pochettinos side are now close to an early exit from Group E and need to beat Monaco at the Stade Louis II on Tuesday in order to keep hopes of progression to the knockout stages alive. Dejected Spurs players react after conceding a second goal in the draw against Chelsea last season Spurs lie four points behind group leaders Monaco and two adrift of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, but Rose has urged his team-mates to recapture the heartbreak of last season in a bid to inspire them in Europe. The feeling after the Chelsea game last season is one that I never want to feel again, Rose said.There were people upset, crying in the changing room after that game. Its a feeling that we never want to feel again as a football club.I hope everyone has learned from that and we are going to try and push on this season.If we dont win, it looks like we are out of the Champions League. We have worked so hard for years and years to get this opportunity.We know if we dont win on Tuesday then we are more or less out of the competition so the manager will put out a strong team, I am sure, and we will go out to win that and then again on Saturday against Chelsea.

I remember what people used to say about me a few years ago - there was a lot of negative comments about me, even when I signed my contract before last, Rose said.

I owe my team-mates, my manager, my chairman and everyone at this football club for how I am playing now and how I played last season and how I played the season before that.

Collingwood are campaigning for more control of their AFL players as they consider routes to short and long-term success.In the short term, they face Carlton on Saturday night at the MCG, eager to get one over their arch-rivals after a disheartening loss in round seven.But the longer game for coach Nathan Buckley is gaining back some of the power ceded to the AFL Players Association (AFLPA) to set player schedules.Its a fight Buckley is keen to win and one discussed around the kitchen table at league supremo Gillon McLachlans house earlier this week at the annual coaches dinner.The main (issue) for me is clubs being able to control their own program, he said.At the moment, the balance is towards the welfare of the players and the time off.We only get access to the guys for three-and-a-half days a week.The union is very strong.We believe we make good decisions about our players ... both for their professional opportunities and their welfare.Its something well keep putting our hands up for and being trusted more from the (AFL) PA and the AFL.Buckley suggested pampered players shouldnt get too used to their time offf.ddddddddddddIts a privilege to play the game. You dont have to play it, he said.Theres plenty of other blokes who have their hands up who arent on lists.Were here to win games of footy, produce a really good program and develop great competitors that are good people as well.Fundamentally, were here to win so weve got to find every opportunity we can to do that.The biggest question for Buckley at the selection table this week is whether to retain maligned full-forward Travis Cloke.Darcy Moores return to fitness after a month off with a collarbone injury gives Buckley the option to persist or flick Cloke.Moores showing in a key training session on Thursday was enough for Buckley to consider him strongly for Saturday nights grudge match.Darcy got through (so) weve got some decisions to make, Buckley said ahead of the announcement of their round-15 team.Theres plenty of ways we can go.Its about the opposition and making sure we put the team on the park that we think can get the job done.
