Week 20 How have we fared at this point under Pochettino?


SPURS IMPROVING



Game week 20 and how Tottenham Hotspur have fared up until this point each season under Mauricio Pochettino. You can see that we have made steady progress, that our goal difference is markedly different as well as increasing our points tally by ten.

2016 42 points (3rd) GF 39 GA14 GD+25
2015 36 points (4th) GF34 GA16 GD+18 
2014 34 points (5th) GF29 GA27 GD+2
Several pundits and former managers were saying a few years back that Tottenham's defence simply wasn't strong enough and I remember writing an article about how dispiriting it must be for the forwards to score a goal and see the defence conceding some of the goals we were conceding back then. One goal never seemed to be enough, they were always having to try and score more to make up for the defence.

Now it is a different matter, now the defence has been sorted so that currently, statistically, on goals conceded, we have the best defence in the Premier League.
