Premier League: Dunn on Tottenham's chances of winning title
Lucas Moura admits Jose Mourinho has a tough job at keeping everyone happy at Tottenham after seven new players joined in the summer transfer window. Mourinho was keen to bolster his squad in the summer in all positions in order to battle towards the top of the table.

But one area the Spurs boss has stuck with a regular pairing is in central defence with both Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld the preferred partnership.
However, Mourinho confirmed on Wednesday that Alderweireld would be out for at least two weeks with a muscle injury.
"He has a muscular injury but not as big as we initially thought," he said.
"He will have time to be out but not like a month which is what we immediately thought.
"So I would say between two and four weeks. But of course he is not playing tomorrow."
Davinson Sanchez is expected to take Alderweireld's place tonight against Ludogorets having fallen down the pecking order.
Moura himself has struggled to break into the starting line-up on a regular basis.
But when asked whether Sanchez is ready to step in, Moura stated Mourinho has a number of tough calls to make.
