Tottenham has emerged a solid contender for the EPL title, after its 2-0 win over the weekend against his old rival Pep Guardiola Manchester City which saw them stay atop of the league for a second matchday week in a row. Jose Mourinho’s Spurs are currently 20 points level at the top of the League with the EPL champion Liverpool, the North London side was 20 points behind Liverpool last season when Jose Mourinho was appointed last season as manager.

Tim Sherwood who was the former manager of Tottenham is of the belief that Jose Mourinho has found a way to get his side to believe that they can win the Premier League, even though Jose doesn’t admit it in public that they can win the league.

According to Sherwood, Jose Mourinho’s star players in Heung Min-Son and Harry Kane have made their best start to an EPL season since they started playing together 4 seasons ago, the pair have an incredible tally of 24 goals and 16 assists between them with just 9 games into the season.

“He’s found a way with the group of players he has,” the former Tottenham player and manager told talkSPORT Breakfast.
“He’s bought very well, [Sergio] Reguilon has been a good signing at left-back, but [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg for me has been the best signing. He fits into the style and just protects the two centre-halves.
“Jose Mourinho has brainwashed his players to believe they have to work to achieve something – they need to win trophies, this group of players.
“When you play as solid as they do, he’s almost brainwashed them into believing.
“And why wouldn’t you believe in him? He’s won 20 major trophies in his career and you’re winning football matches, so then you start believing that this guy is the real deal, he knows what he’s talking about, and why can’t we win the league?
“When we’ve got players like Son and Kane, who are world-class and could probably play in any team in the world, you’ve always got a chance.
“They haven’t played fantastically well this season, but who cares?”

The Premier League-winning former Blackburn captain added: “On the back of my medal it doesn’t say: ‘Oh, any, by the way, we didn’t play well for 24 games’.

“You just go and pick it up at the end of the season, and that’s it!”
