Spurs Web Opinion

There are clearly sings over the past few weeks that the team is starting to get used to a new way of playing under Mourinho. We seem much more solid defensively and aren’t playing as direct as we were in Jose’s first few games in charge. Hopefully, we will see the team completedly adapted to Mourinho’s style by the end of the season.
