Nacer Chadli upbeat despite poor Tottenham start

Nacer Chadli believes that Tottenham have plenty of positives to take from their start to the Premier League season, despite failing to record a victory in three games so far.

Spurs began the campaign with a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United, before throwing away leads against Stoke and Leicester to draw both games. Mauricio Pochettino's side now host Everton on Saturday Night Football in pursuit of their first victory of 2015/16.

"We've not started that well, but we've shown some good things in the way we've played," Chadli told Soccer Saturday.

"At Leicester, we played well and scored the goal, but afterwards we conceded. Against Stoke, we did well for 70 minutes then conceded late goals. But I think there are good things to take from it."

Tottenham finished outside the top four again last season, failing to qualify for the Champions League, and although Chadli thinks it was a good campaign for the club, they will still target more this time around.

"We had quite a good season finishing fifth with a cup final," added the 26-year-old Belgium international winger. "So [this season] we will aim for better. Everyone wants to work in the same direction and has the same goals."

Spurs boss Pochettino has recruited attacking players Clinton N'Jie and Son Heung-min recently, but Chadli is not concerned about the extra competition, believing it will only help him improve.

"I think the more players we have the better it is for the team," added Chadli. "If you have a lot of competition to play it makes you play better. That's my goal (to get better this season), I always aim for the best."
