As Tottenham Hotspur takes a break from football for the winter World Cup it seems an appropriate time to rate the progress of the players and Antonio Conte.
Spurs have not yet hit top gear but find themselves fourth in the Premier League, just three points behind second-placed Manchester City, and having scored more goals than everyone bar Pep Guardiola's side and leaders Arsenal. Conte's side did not lose their first match in the league until last month, as they came up short away against their north London rivals. In the Champions League, Tottenham stuttered and stumbled yet still finished top of their group to progress to a last 16 meeting against AC Milan in February.
Now it's time to dish out our ratings for the players and for Conte. It's worth taking into account that our ratings are based on the individual player's expectations for the season due to the previous standards they have set for themselves, rather than being a tool to compare them against their various team-mates.
