A season which began with so much promise and even talk of a tilt at the title under Antonio Conte has ended with Tottenham missing out on Europe and having crashed out of all three cups in disappointing fashion.
Spurs start the summer without a permanent head coach or director football, and with chairman Daniel Levy under mounting pressure from fans.
Here, Standard Sport assesses the 2022-23 season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium…
Season in one word: Wretched.
Star of the show: Harry Kane. No one else even comes close. To score 30 Premier League goals in this Tottenham team is astonishing.
Biggest letdown: Richarlison. Unlucky with injuries and played out of position, but one League goal from the Brazil No9 for a £60million outlay last summer is clearly a poor return.
Most improved player: Rodrigo Bentancur. Before his ACL injury, the Uruguayan added goals to his game, making him an all-round midfielder. Hopefully he returns the same player.
Game to remember: The 1-0 home win over Manchester City was a rare highlight and will always be memorable for Kane breaking Jimmy Greaves’s goal record.
Game to forget: Liverpool 4-3 Spurs. An absolute sickener for Spurs but it was classic Premier League and summed up their season.
Rising star: Pape Matar Sarr. Barely given a chance but his display against AC Milan in the San Siro suggests the Senegalese is one for the future.
Manager verdict: Which one? Conte checked out long before he was sacked and left behind a broken squad. Ryan Mason has done his best in tough circumstances.
Fans’ mood: Glum. Daniel Levy is under pressure to get the manager and director of football appointments right, with fans increasingly restless.
Grade: D
