Pochettino urges Tottenham to be more clinical in attack

For 57 minutes, Middlesbrough held firm. They’ve looked better than they have all season, and if there’s any time for them to knock Tottenham down a peg or two, now is the time. Although Boro saw the ball occasionally, Spurs did not give them time to dwell on it with Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele snapping at their heals and dousing any fire Boro tried to light in the form of an attack.

Rose injured his left knee in the first half of Tuesday’s 0-0 Premier League draw at bottom side Sunderland.

Four days later on Saturday (yesterday), Middlesbrough adopted Sunderland’s tactics and almost picked up a point themselves but Tottenham were ready. In the end we had chances to score. It’s another tough game against one of the best teams in the league who are genuine title contenders.

“When you are focused only on the Premier League, you are not focused or involved in different cups, or not involved in Europa League competitions. with the squad they have, they don’t surprise me”.

Spurs marked Mauricio Pochettino’s 100th Premier League match in charge with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Middlesbrough Saturday.

“We were talking (on Friday morning) and he was very positive”, Pochettino said. We have to think about ourselves rathe than other teams.

However, as the midweek results showed us its always hard to predict games in the Premier League and that’s where Odinbet comes in….

Pochettino’s praise is good news for Davies, as his next few appearances for Spurs could be the most important of his career to date. “The most important is to try to play every game”.

Arsenal has not won the title since 2004 and the fact that it appears out of the race again is the subject of much debate among its fans, some who feel manager Arsene Wenger should step aside. Though for Toby Alderweireld, another factor that decides games is luck. We need to be patient. “That’s certainly going in the right direction”.

The game was finally opening up and the lively Son shot just wide but Hugo Lloris in the Tottenham goal had still not had a shot to save.

The Arsenal manager admitted his side were not good enough as they fell 12 points behind the leaders.
