Sebastien Bassong has no doubts Tottenham are stronger this season.
The Cameroon defender admits Champions League qualification is their goal this term.
"We have improved our squad," Bassong told talkSPORT. "We have brought some quality experienced players like Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor.
"We were always struggling against the lower sides in the Premier League. When people come to White Hart Lane and sit back and defend they are really defending for their life. We have had to learn how to deal with this and now we are able to win those games."
