Spurs for most of this season were a much better unit than we were. They ran down a lot less blind alleys than we did. We were awful for much of the season if people chose to remember back.
And even now we are frail at the back once put under any pressure and tentative in front of goal unless we score first and early.
But!
We are getting better and Spurs are about the same. We are taking 3 steps forward for every 1 step back (or sideways - like against Arsenal/United). Spurs are plodding along steady enough.
I think spurs were over rated but it's all relative. Once we really start to kick into gear, they'll be over-hyping us too. It'll be us saying - hang on a sec we aren't that good. It's Sky - they get giddy.
