Mauricio Pochettino has not lacked in options with who to feature in the attacking side of his line-up, since the beginning of the 2014 season. Yet until the recent match against Burnley, there has not been a period during this season where all attacking roles have come together so effectively.

It could not be denied that Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado have had disappointing contributions to the season, there have only been three Premier League goals between them despite both having plenty of presence in games. Harry Kane proved very early within the season that he had the capacity to displace the more senior strikers from the starting eleven, yet Mauricio Pochettino had been reluctant to give him a position within the squad. Even after a continued run of exceptional form, he was only then paired with the out of form Soldado, meaning that his involvement within the squad ultimately caused Soldado to take a spot from the Nacer Chadli, a player who has been consistently strong all season.

Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield has also not been without problems. It took Christian Eriksen a number of games this season to find the level of quality he showed last season, and even despite rare glimpses of brilliance from Erik Lamela, his first Premier League midfield goal had only come recently. There is a great case for optimism however, as the match against Burnley showed incredible promise for what may come in our next fixture. We saw the aggressive play style which Tottenham Hotspur are known for, clearly supported by a foundation of one touch passing, high pressing and the persistent forcing of clearances in the opposition’s half which complemented Federico Fazio’s superb aerial prowess, allowing him to win back Tottenham possession a majority of the time which has sent us quickly back on the attack.

When considering Mauricio Pochetinno’s methods which have given the squad immense fitness which has given Tottenham Hotspur a greater ability to handle intense games, if Harry Kane, Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela can all maintain the high level of play from that game, Tottenham Hotspur will have a real chance to gain some good results against even Manchester United and Chelsea.
