Tottenham haven’t had a good start to the season even though it doesn’t look bad on paper. Recently, they were handed their first loss of the season in all competitions by Ruben Amorim’s Sporting Lisbon in a 2-0 home win over the London club. Amiron employed the same tactics, that ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, used over Conte’s Spurs earlier this season, and has been in the headlines for it.

They don’t know how to function as a unit and play together as a team.
A lack of system just shows why many important players haven’t been playing to their very best. Players like Son who are giving one bad performance after the other are still keeping their place in the starting line-up. The defenders are caught sleeping by the opposition time and again. There is confusion all around the squad, there are debates about who should…
