Adaptability Issues
The Dutch marksman has had a tough start to life at the Lane. He has struggled to get used to the pace at which the game is played in England and has had to face an uphill battle to cope with the physicality of the English top division, which has minimalized his threat in the final third.
He has also struggled to get used to the style of play that Pochettino and Tottenham employ which has been another cause for concern for the Lilywhites. While the goals haven’t come at all, he has also struggled to pose any sort of danger to opposition defences and has failed to create opportunities for his teammates. Janssen in his 15 league appearances, has created only 12 clear cut goal-scoring opportunities for his peers and has only a single assist against his name, which is some distance off from the rest of the Spurs attackers. Even Moussa Sissoko, who has featured less and has been under criticism for his displays, has created more chances, bringing into question Janssen’s suitability to the Spurs way.
