It is still very early in what can be a long and exhausting season for Tottenham Hotspur. The North London club is competing in four competitions and will desperately want to win a long-awaited trophy.
The Spurs have played five Premier League matches, plus one in the League Cup and 4 in the Europa League (including qualifiers), but there are a few things we already know.
Something and something troubling, here are five things we know about the Tottenham Hotspur season so far.
The Spurs team that started tonight’s victory over LASK at the Europa League organizational level has had eight adjustments to the team that faced West Ham last weekend and was a team smart enough to beat the Austrians.
This is a very promising sign for the Spurs. With at least two players competing for each position, it is to be expected that Spurs can give everyone enough play time without sacrificing the results. Another advantage is the additional festival that animates Serge Aurier and Erik Lamela, for example, two players who did not expect to play long after the Spurs bought new recruits, started the season well. like opting to play in 4-3-3 or 3-5-2.
The Spurs look strong in attack. Carlos Vinicius relented through Benfica as a replacement for Harry Kane and made a promising first start against LASK, teaming up with Lucas Moura to prepare his compatriot for the first purpose of the match.
Mourinho regularly queues with a three ahead: Kane, who plays in the middle of the trio, and Son Heung-Min are unbeatable for the Spurs’ toughest games right now, leaving a position for the fight of Lamela, Vinicius, Moura and Steven Bergwijn. You can also upload Dele Alli to this mix. And, of course, there’s the guy who was the biggest signing of the movement window for the club: Gareth Bale. Bale controlled an hour in front of the LASK and, whenever he can get in shape, will be in another war over a position on the front line of Tottenham. .
While the attack is exhilarating, the defense has sometimes been troubling. Promising central Joe Rodon recently signed from Swansea but is not eligible for the Europa League organizational level and Mourinho is unlikely to release him into a Premier League game. they have added two more defenders to the team, but zagueros Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon are better known for their offensive style than for their defensive strength.
That leaves Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez and Toby Alderweireld as the three to compete for two center positions. Mourinho has tried other associations, everyone has experienced moments of vulnerability. The Spurs looked especially uncomfortable after the stop, giving avoidable goals against Everton. West Ham and, it’s a very debatable penalty, Newcastle. Even in the remarkable 6-1 win over Manchester United, the Spurs lost a penalty in the first minute after protecting the ball.
Despite the wonderful team, Pierre-Emile Hujbjerg started the five Premier League physies and one of three players chosen for West Ham for the win over LASK. The Danish midfielder turns out to be a player made for Mourinho, he is an organizer who is difficult to assume and a little petty when needed.
A former from Southampton and Bayern Munich, Hejbjerg is not just a destroyer, as he demonstrated through his pass to prepare For Serge Aurier’s purpose against Man United. You will be asked to do much of the filthy paintings in front of the last 4 and, in the evidence so far, it turns out to be a key piece of the puzzle.
Mourinho has a reputation for generating pragmatic equipment, more capable of generating effects than exciting neutrals. After the first Premier League game of the season, a 1-0 home defeat to Everton, Spurs enthusiasts feared the worst.
Since then, the Spurs haven’t been bored. A 5-2 win at Southampton, 6-1 at Old Trafford and then a 3-3 draw with West Ham, after leading 3-0, made the Spurs exciting to watch. Including the European League playoff win over Maccabi Haifa, there have been 25 goals in the last four Spurs games: 19 in favour, six against. The team is able to play a quick pass game that allows many more goals to be scored, at both ends, this season.
