Number 10-Tottenham have two excellent fullbacks

Danny Rose and Kyle Walker are both starting fullbacks for England for a reason. Their development under Pochettino has been nothing short of magnificent.

The Argentine manager has taken their world-class athleticism and molded them both into excellent Premier League starters. They now have enough mental strength and skill to take advantage of their speed and power.

Some clubs don’t place too much concern on having talented fullbacks, but it’s a vital position for Spurs. Each man is tasked, not only with keeping opposing wingers in check, but also with providing width for the attack. When Rose and Walker are both fit and firing, Tottenham are awfully difficult to contain.

Number 9-Terrific fan support

Anyone who tells you that professional footballers don’t notice the crowds they play in front of are fools. Tottenham receive a clear advantage playing in front of the faithful at White Hart Lane.

Perhaps just as importantly, Spurs also enjoy terrific away match support. There’s a genuine connection between the players and the fans that give Tottenham a unique edge in every match.
