Mousa Dembele insists Tottenham should carry on attacking

Mousa Dembele believes Tottenham should not adopt a defensive approach to matches despite their 3-0 defeat at Manchester United on Sunday.
Spurs' chances of a top-four finish in the Premier League were dealt a blow by the loss at Old Trafford, where they conceded all three goals in the first half.
That performance led to suggestions that Mauricio Pochettino's attack-minded philosophy was wrong, but midfielder Dembele has defended his manager's tactics.
"We've played some games against the top teams where we played unbelievable attacking football," the Belgium international said.
We don't have to change anything at the moment because we are capable of beating the big teams.
