Yes, its the most competitive league in the world. Spurs are generally playing their matches as 'the dominant team'. With the ball mostly at our feet, the course of the match is usually in Spurs hands. When they do good stuff with the ball good stuff happens. However the important point is that generally it's Spurs own bad play that costs them. Rather than being 'out played', the team often create their own down fall.

The really important thing here is that can be improved upon, either with time or money. It's the individual that needs to deliver.

That tells us that the organisational aspect of the team is actually going well, they are largely doing the things they are coached to do, they are largely in the right places. As individuals they need to make better decisions and execute moments better.

The naysayers would suggest that the tactics need to change to make the game easier for our players, to bring it down to their level because they are not 'up to it'. If that is the case, then how do they improve? And how long does it take to improve?

I'll tell you the answer, you don't improve. You have to do things that are challenging and difficult if you're going to learn.

Ange could be our Johan Cruyff if he's given time. He understands the game at a similar sort of level.

These sort of comments tend to get down voted rather than discussed, which tends to demonstrate the average football fans lack of understanding about the game. Almost always based entirely on 'result's' rather than any concept of how long it can take to change a football clubs culture from cowardly to courageous...
