Spurs season crumbling down
Over the course of their last five games, Tottenham’s season has gone from being a wonderful dream to their worst nightmare. It all started with a loss at Anfield, which ended their three-game winning run. Since then Spurs have played four games in all competitions, haven’t won a single game, lost twice and are currently seven points behind third-placed Arsenal, a side they beat less than a month ago.
Although they have a game in hand in the league, defeat to Chelsea means that they have now been dumped out of the FA Cup, Capital One Cup and the Europa League in the space of a few weeks. The North London club have gone from looking like ending the season in fourth, with a trophy, to now facing the distinct possibility that they might not even make it into Europe. Pochettino has to quickly find a way to arrest their slide and ensure that his players don’t go into a shell and make life difficult for themselves for the rest of the season.
