da cassino online： Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho thinks Tottenham will finish ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League this season.
What did he say?
The Gunners and Spurs played out an intense and thrilling affair on Sunday in the first north London derby of the campaign. Mauricio Pochettino’s side move into a 2-0 lead, but Unai Emery and co were able to claw their way back to a 2-2 draw.
Following the match, Mourinho shared his thoughts on the two sides, and said he believes Tottenham will end the season in a higher position than their great rivals. He said on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday (via The Daily Express):
“I still think Tottenham.
“I still think what we laughed about when we were at Old Trafford, when I gave my four candidates to win the title, definitely City and Liverpool and then Tottenham is still the third-best team.
“But I like many things on the Arsenal squad.”
“It feels like a loss” – that was the view of a Spurs fan after this weekend’s North London Derby in the video below…
Arsenal to fall short despite positive attributes
There were plenty of positives for Arsenal to take from the game against Spurs. The fight they displayed to earn a draw when the game looked dead at 2-0 will set them in good stead this term. Also, the presence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe moving forward will make them a dangerous proposition for any side.
However, when looking at Spurs’ squad, the talent is evenly spread out, where as Arsenal’s looks a little attack and midfield-heavy. There is a reason this Tottenham side made it to the Champions League final last term. Throughout the team, there are fantastic players such as Hugo Lloris, Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane, whilst the signings of Tanguy Ndombele, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso should only strengthen the side. Emery, meanwhile, appears to have too many players who he does not fancy, such as Mohamed Elneny and Shkodran Mustafi. There is still some top quality there, such as the aforementioned attacking trio and others such as Dani Ceballos, but there appears to be less than what Pochettino can choose from.
Arsenal may have displayed grit and character, but it is talent that wins you points. As such, Tottenham should just edge the Gunners in the table.
