SO SAD:Oliver Glasner confirm the suspension of Joel Ward….
Getting a handle on Tottenham Hotspur hasn’t been easy this season. How can a side take Manchester United to pieces at Old Trafford and then blow a comfortable 2-0 lead to Brighton just a week later? How can a side thrash West Ham with ease, only to immediately hand Crystal Palace a first win of the campaign?
It’s easy to dismiss this inconsistency as archetypally ‘Spursy’. The same old psychological issues, the same tendency to crumble under pressure, the same failure to turn stylish football into tangible results. We’ve seen it all before, after all, and this season’s performances fit the narrative nice and neatly.
Perhaps as a consequence, there hasn’t been much analysis of the root causes of the up-and-down results that we’ve seen under Ange Postecoglou since the summer. But I wanted to dig deeper after doing a deep dive on some stats which suggested that Spurs should be doing rather better than they are.
