Goalless, Winless Tottenham’s Struggles Continue

Tottenham Is Languishing

Languishing in 17th position with two draws, two losses, zero wins and 2 points in 4 games, Tottenham Hotspur are struggling big time in the English Premier League. Along with Coventry, Tottenham is the only club to haven’t scored a goal yet.

A Team That Used To Be Goal Scorers, But Not Anymore

Not long ago, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min were lethal for Tottenham Hotspur. Whatever their standing on the EPL leaderboard, the Spurs were always among the highest-scoring teams. There was never a goal drought.

The Spurs Have Yet To Recover From The Loss of Kane & Son

Once Kane and Son left, Tottenham have swayed over rough waters like an uncontrolled ship, barely able to stay afloat. Reinforcements have been brought this year in Sandro Tonali from Newcastle, Savinho and Omar Marmoush ( on loan) from Manchester City. Andy Robertson from Liverpool, JP van Hecke from Brighton to spruce up the defence, to name a few. But the results have been far from encouraging.

The Club Needs More Intent Than Apologies

Roberto De Zerbi has been apologising for the dismal start, but more than apologies, some real intent is needed to get the team up and running. The injury to Sandro Tonali is another problem which has besieged the already struggling group. Richarlison, who has been hugely below par for the Spurs, will be kept out of selection too, as the Spurs take on Liverpool tonight in the EFL Cup Third Round at Anfield.

Tottenham  To Play Liverpool Tonight: A Tough Challenge…

Liverpool are the favourites at Anfield tonight and, considering the perils Tottenham are in at the moment, the Reds might just have a cakewalk. Roberto De Zerbi would be under huge pressure. A loss would mean an early exit from the EFL and may even endanger De Zerbi’s position.

… But The Spurs Can Spring A Surprise

The Spurs are hugely talented and lack no skill either. It’s just getting together, having self-belief, showing some intent and getting at the opposition. Easier said than done, but then is there a way out?. I hope Bentancur, Solanke and the rest are listening.
