Townsend: We can improve

Andros Townsend is certain Andre Villas-Boas’ Tottenham side will improve as the new players continue to settle into the squad.

Spurs lost 1-0 at home to Newcastle on Sunday despite dominating for large periods of the match.

After investing heavily on new talent during the summer the expectation levels at White Hart Lane were increased but the fans have now seen Spurs lose two of their last three Premier League home games. When asked if a lack of goals was starting to concern the players, the winger replied: “If we are winning 1-0, then we will take that because it is three points but if we are losing it is a problem,” said Townsend.
