Gary Neville says they need better depth
However, Gary Neville is still yet to be convinced, stating that he believes that the Spurs’ bench is too weak to be challenging.
“I don’t think they’re title contenders,” Neville said on Sky Sports. “When you see the bench coming on at the end, you know they’re not title contenders, I think they’ll be way off that. But what they are is spirited, more resilient than I imagined they would be and I say that more out of the North London Derby last week and what I saw.
“They’re in a good place. There’s a spirit in the stadium, on the pitch and there is a connection with the way the manager is, the players on the pitch and the people in the crowd. We’re not talking too much about the boardroom at Spurs as much as we would have been in the last few years.
“There’s no doubt there’s something happening here for Spurs. It isn’t always as good as it looks and I think there will be challenges down the line, but I think they’ll have a better season than I thought they would.”
