Why Tottenham are misfiring — injuries, team changes and arduous tours
A tactical and contextual breakdown of Tottenham's poor early-season form, arguing that the issues run deeper than finishing.

Read the full story at theguardian.comTottenham's slow start is rarely a one-cause story, and this analysis lays out the layered reasons behind the underperformance. By connecting injuries, squad churn and a taxing pre-season, the piece offers a more honest reading of the table than a glance at expected goals would suggest. For anyone tracking Spurs, it reframes early results as a product of context — rotation, fitness and disrupted rhythm — rather than a collapse in attacking quality alone.
