Half of us not playing the football we want to, so theres lessons in there for all of us. I hope that the goals will come. We have been creating more and the less we have been creating more and the less games, that is a good thing the less games, that is a good thing playing tottenham away from thing playing tottenham away from home and away we have created from home and away we have created is from home and away we have created is a good sign. I think first created is a good sign. I think first with created is a good sign.

Fair to say, i think apart from results which have also been pleasing, i think we have had a level of performance in every game, which has made us really competitive against all opponents, home and away. You know, we have had some eventful games within that context. Bu
