Tottenham: Harry Kane is ‘on top of his game’ says pundit
Jose Mourinho is clearly happy with the recruitment from Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in the summer, but he has named three players in particular who will need time to get used to his system. Spurs are the Premier League's joint-leading scorers through five games having averaged three goals a match.
"He needs also to adapt to the defensive demands of the Premier League. It's a process."
While Tottenham have been leaky at the back, their attacking displays have been up there with the very best.
They've scored 31 goals in 10 games heading into the match against Burnley.
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son have particularly been in sensational form and are currently on track for record goal tallies.
And Mourinho still has Gareth Bale to add into the mix once he gets back to full match sharpness.

But the Tottenham boss stopped short of comparing his current attacking players to those he had at his disposal in Real Madrid.
"No. In Real Madrid, I had amazing, amazing attacking players and we managed to build the team in a certain way," Mourinho said.
"I have to be honest and say we have lots of good attacking players here but we need to give stability to the team because the team needs stability in the back to feel solid, confident – to [be able to] have a go.
