This season we have seen a different Spurs, a squad who are cohesive and have a real focus and new found determination.
A 2-1 home defeat to bottom of the table Newcastle in December would have brought familiar questions….is this the same old Tottenham?
This question was immediately answered with 3 wins in 3 matches over the Christmas period. That optimism restored with talk of a title challenge back on.
Pochettino has given his young players the chance to prove themselves this season and the likes of Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld have taken that opportunity. Pochettino has not been carried away with talk of a title challenge, instead focusing on each game as they come, likewise, his players have adopted the same mentality.
With a busy period of fixtures coming up, the squad have travelled to Barcelona this week to recharge and refocus for this crucial part of the season coming up.
Whether or not Tottenham can win their first title since 1961 remains to be seen. The foundations are certainly in place to sustain a title challenge this season.
