Surely, Jose can t do it again? Can he?
In the last four fixtures Tottenham have had the fewest number of touches in the opposition box of any team in the Premier League (44), yet, they have beaten Manchester City and Arsenal, drawn with Chelsea and were a Vicente Guaita last-minute masterclass away from three more points at Crystal Palace.
During that period, no team has conceded more touches to the opposition in their own box than Tottenham, too.
Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Palace all had a combined 128 touches in the Spurs box but Mourinho s side came out the other side with just one goal conceded and even that came via an unforced error by Hugo Lloris. We are talking peak Jose Mourinho here.
