Tottenham Hotspur fan Kish Patel breaks down the key issues behind the club’s midfield struggles after five Premier League matches.

Tottenham Hotspur currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table after five matches, sparking fan debate over persistent midfield problems. In a BBC Sport fan feature, supporter Kish Patel outlined recurring patterns of breakdown in central play following a tough run that included a recent home defeat to Aston Villa. Tottenham have not officially commented on the critiques.
The challenge of fixing the central midfield falls to manager Roberto De Zerbi, whose job security is also facing media scrutiny. While Tottenham have not announced any official setup changes, the squad received a minor fitness boost with Dejan Kulusevski returning to training, though he typically operates in a more advanced position.
