Best defence in Europe

The proof that it is the system that has made Tottenham the best defence in the top 5 leagues in Europe is the players we have had missing for that period. Hugo Lloris has been missing, Toby Alderweireld has been missing, Danny Rose has been missing and we have regularly rotated the full-backs anyway.


  1. Hugo Lloris
  2. Michel Vorm
  3. Kyle Walker
  4. Kieran Trippier
  5. Toby Alderweireld
  6. Jan Vertonghen
  7. Kevin Wimmer
  8. Eric, Dier
  9. Danny Rose
  10. Kevin Davies

Ten different players used, hardly a set back-four, so it a testament to how we defend as a team that has made us difficult to beat. Success starts with a solid defence, now we have to add a threat at the other end to that.
