Tottenham need more goals from Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush, but Roberto De Zerbi must find the right formula to get the best out of his strikers.

Hotspur HQ argues that Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi must settle on a consistent attacking setup to get the best out of strikers Dominic Solanke and Omar Marmoush. Tottenham have struggled for goals during the 2026/27 campaign, scoring just ten times in their opening ten Premier League matches. The two forwards have combined for only three goals across all competitions, leaving defender Jan Paul van Hecke as the club's joint-leading league scorer.
The writer criticizes De Zerbi for frequently rotating the frontline and shifting Marmoush across multiple attacking positions, including on the wing and in midfield. With injuries mounting across the squad to attackers such as Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons, and Savio, the piece concludes that De Zerbi must stop experimenting, install Solanke as the primary number nine, and deploy Marmoush in a regular supporting role.
