Tottenham Hotspur have surprised many this year, having failed to sign a single player in the summer.
Martin Keown shared his belief that Mauricio Pochettino genuinely believes that his Tottenham side can win the Premier League title this season, when speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail.
Spurs have been magnificent this season, but their defeat to Wolves yesterday would have been a really bitter pill for Pochettino to swallow.
Tottenham had a great chance to pile the pressure on Liverpool, ahead of the Reds’ clash with Arsenal, but they subsequently failed to do that.
The Lilywhites now sit nine points adrift of Jürgen Klopp’s men, and they will have to embark on another long unbeaten run, if they are to have any chance of usurping the Merseysiders.
Keown, however, suggested that Pochettino still firmly believes that his players are capable of winning the league this season, when speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail:
“I am convinced that he believes Tottenham can win this title. Inside that dressing room, the message will not be, ‘Let’s give it our best shot.’ It will be, ‘Let’s win it’.”
Tottenham are back in action on January 1st, when they head to Wales to take on Cardiff City, and it will be of paramount importance for them to win the game, if they harbour a genuine ambition to win the league title this season.
Yesterday’s defeat to Wolves would have hurt Spurs, but it should not be viewed as an insurmountable set-back.
