# Top of the League

After 11 of the 38 games Tottenham Hotspur is topping the Premier League. For some this may seem as a surprise, but not for me. José Mourinho did only 2 major incoming transfers this summer with Bergwijn and Hojbjerg and this after letting Vertonghen and Eriksen leave. That sounds like a gamble, but if you know Mourinho a little bit, you know that if someone can build a squad, it is him. He evaluated the current players and decided that most of what he needed was already there. He even let one of the key players go, Christian Eriksen, to adapt to a different style of play.

Right now, Tottenham Hotspur is a deadly counter team, they love to leave the ball with the opponent to attack with incredible pace and precision with players like Son, Delle Alli, Sissoko, Ndombele, ... that is a fierce strength. So, the question right now is, can Tottenham hold this for the rest of the season. Or will other teams turn out to be better? I don't know, but I really think they have a shot at winning this Premiership. Mostly due to José Mourinho and his tactical knowledge, and also because the opponents are having a hard time. Like Liverpool, that is plagued without a ton of injuries. And Manchester City, that just can't find the consistency a contender for the title needs.

I wish all the Spurs fans, the best of luck, and maybe, they can win a major prize again after 30 years of drought!
