AVB looking for players to step up their game
Andre Villas-Boas is looking for a positive result against Norwich at White Hart Lane this afternoon. In three games last season Spurs were unable to secure a victory against them and with Norwich having strengthened all the Spurs new boys will have to gel quickly to not stumble again today.
He is extremely happy with the transfer window and has begun the task of finding the best version of his system to suit the unit so as to get the best out of all it's component parts.
"All of us have done good business in the transfer window, but Manchester City and us maybe a little bit more than Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. "We are happy with what we have done in the transfer window, extremely happy. Arsenal did a great least minute coup with Ozil but they will be as competitive as they were before.
"He is a wonderful, gifted footballer and in the end Arsenal paid heavily for a player of that dimension. It's a €50 million transfer for a number 10 that nobody has any doubt over his ability. They have lots of players for that position also but they have become even stronger with Ozil."
"This is a squad with great potential which has the ability to achieve our objectives that we couldn't last season. At the moment, we are trying to do that -- to put these players together and find a style in our play that brings out the best potential of each individual. That is the main objective.
"What we have improved on from last season is the individual quality we have on board and all the players are striving with big motivation to achieve it [Champions League football].
"That is the only thing we can do. The frustration was big after the Arsenal game because we had an opportunity to continue our perfect start to the season, and get a win over our rivals, but we didn't create enough clear cut chances in that game even though we had lots of possession. We wanted a result there.
"The players have come back here now looking ambitious to get the result we need and hopefully they can step up their game so the team can do exactly that."
