Mousa Dembele: 'Tottenham Hotspur have stronger mentality'

Mousa Dembele claims that Tottenham Hotspur are more difficult to beat now under Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has claimed that the team are more resilient under Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League this season to 13 matches on Sunday as they held London rivals Chelsea to a goalless draw at White Hart Lane.

Dembele has suggested that Spurs are now showing that they have the tools required to compete against the elite sides in the division.

"I think everybody can see our mentality and the way we are playing are different," the Belgian told The Guardian.

"I don't want to say it, but we just feel we are now men. We are more confident and we are more of a group. That is something we have worked on for a long time. So we are really happy with how it's going.

"I think we are accomplished enough to say now we can win any game. If we have the same mentality we have now, of course we can."

Spurs are currently fifth in the table, two points behind the Champions League qualification places.
