Davies: Spurs now more tactical under Mourinho

Tottenham fullback Ben Davies says they've become a more tactical team under manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho replaced the sacked Pochettino in November with mixed results since, though a controlled display against Arsenal on Sunday saw Spurs win the Portuguese's first north London derby.

"Under Poch we very much had our style of play and it was just the high press, high intensity," Davies told talkSPORT.

"Now I think we're a bit more tactical, we're a bit more aware of what we're coming up against. We have a game plan for each game."

Davies says the squad are fully invested in Mourinho's vision.

"In some games it hasn't been what we've wanted but everyone is buying into the skill set that Mourinho has and we all know that he's a top manager," Davies added.

"He's won everything there is to win so us as players have got to put our trust into him and the results will follow.

"We'll go away in the summer and I'm sure we'll do a lot of work in pre-season, get ready for it and next year has to be a different story."
