Paul Merson has expressed skepticism about Tottenham’s chances of winning silverware this season, comparing it to his chances of winning Strictly Come Dancing. Despite Ange Postecoglou’s insistence that he always wins trophies in his second season at a club, Merson remains unconvinced. Tottenham’s recent form has been lackluster, with only one win in their first four matches and sitting in the bottom half of the table.
Jamie Redknapp has also weighed in on Tottenham’s performance, highlighting the contrast between last season’s free-flowing football and their current struggles. Redknapp believes that Tottenham need to start winning games to regain their form and confidence.
Merson criticized Tottenham’s crossing, describing it as either ineffective or wayward. He emphasized the need for improvement in this aspect of their game to create more goal-scoring opportunities. Additionally, Merson called out James Maddison for his performance against Arsenal, urging him to step up and make a bigger impact on the field.
Despite the challenges Tottenham is facing, Postecoglou remains optimistic about their chances of success this season. He believes that he will continue his trend of winning trophies in his second season at a club and is determined to lead Tottenham to silverware.
But now, after seeing Arsenal’s performance against Tottenham, I think they have a real chance. They have the quality, the depth, and the confidence to challenge Manchester City for the title. It’s going to be an exciting season, that’s for sure.
