Something has gone seriously backwards from last year.
Last year we could get away with not having possession. It was easier to soak up pressure and move the ball forward with pace. Against top players, if you give them all the possession, they just take the piss. They also defend better. There's not one player in this Tottenham team that wouldn't be considered the best player in the Championship if they were playng for Villa, Leeds, Boro etc.
