Today's result from White Hart Lane surely bursts the Spurs' bubble.
After spending huge amounts of money in the summer and bringing in numerous supposedly very good players, today they lost 3-0 at home to lowly West Ham. Last year, Spurs had 2 problems; firstly they leaked goals whenever the opposition got around their rather static defence, and secondly, they had trouble finding the net themselves. This term, they appeared to have resolved the leaky defence issue but still find it almost impossible to score goals against any but the poorest opposition; today's result shows that the defence is every bit as dodgy as before.
Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear :-( The premature talk of a top 4 finish and Champions' League spot now seems very, very fanciful indeed; the madness of them being title challengers can be forgotten for at least another year. They may have several better players but they still lack the penetration necessary to score more than the occasional goal against top sides. Come the January transfer window expect some more frantic activity as they search desperately for someone who can create those missing goal scoring opportunities on a regular basis. Oh, and a decent left full back, cover for Walker and a winger or 2 might be useful as well.
