A season predicted for top-three gate-crashing status has descended into a gritty battle for stability for Tottenham.
After a promising start in which Spurs secured three wins from their opening five league matches – their two losses arriving from Arsenal and Manchester City – Rehanne Skinner’s side fell to four successive league defeats dropping them to eighth in the league heading into the winter break.
That Spurs failed to register a single goal in those four defeats underscores the most flagrant issue shackling the squad. Skinner's side have found the net just 11 times in the league (joint-third worst in the league) while conceding 17. Only bottom three Reading, Brighton and Leicester boast worst goal differences.
