Three games into the new Premier League season, and Tottenham Hotspur sit proudly atop the table with three wins, three goals scored and none conceded.
The north Londoners under Nuno Espirito Santo have been brutally efficient, winning all of their matches 1-0, though some people are still not happy it seems.
In the wake of Spurs’ victory over Watford, talkSPORT pundit, Alex Crook, had his say on where he thinks the team are at, and he couldn’t help but compare them to Jose Mourinho’s side.
? “Jose Mourinho got a lot of stick for the style of play but on the face of it, the style of play is the same!”
? “The past 2 wins haven’t been vintage Spurs. I still think it was quite dull.”

Nothing close to Jose. We are attacking and playing defense. The only thing missing are goals, but we win. I would agree that when Jose started we were on the front foot until that melt down with West Ham and that is exactly what we became. So please we are not sitting our 18 yards box waiting for the on slaught. Give Nuno so credit the result might be close, but the philosophy is dramatically different and I do not see Nuno hogging the media, blaming his players or change his style of play. The key here is to go 2 scores up and put pressure on those behind and get help in the chase of other teams eating up each other to our advantage especially after we play the top teams.
