Hugo Lloris hails Tottenham Hotspur mentality

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has hailed the mentality at the club and says that the togetherness of the squad is playing a large role in their good Premier League form.
Only high-flying Leicester City have lost as few matches as Spurs this season, with Mauricio Pochettino's side's only defeat of the domestic campaign coming in the form of a 1-0 reverse to Manchester United at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season.

The London side are unbeaten in nine Premier League games since that defeat, and Lloris is adamant that the close bond shared by the squad and the coaching staff has been a key factor.

"We have a lot of honest guys in the squad with a great mentality so it is really easy to come into this team," he told Sky Sports News. "It is really positive at the moment. These players bring their skills but also their personality and mentality."I think that it is what the gaffer expects: a great atmosphere in the team, a great mentality, a working mentality. We need to be ready to win all together, to suffer all together, to learn from defeats together.

"It is not just about one or two players, we are a team and if we want to bring the club to the next step, this is the foundation. It is always important to have a good feeling."Spurs can move up to fifth in the league table with victory over Aston Villa at White Hart Lane on Monday evening.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
