Tottenham’s biggest issue analysed: Why decision-making is stopping Spurs in their tracks

Jake Dutkiewicz of Spurs Web argues that poor decision-making and risk aversion are Tottenham Hotspur's main problems during their winless start to the Premier League season. Despite spending upwards of £300 million over the summer on players such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Savio, manager Roberto De Zerbi's side sits bottom of the table after five matches without taking a single lead.

Dutkiewicz highlights that Spurs players repeatedly choose safe, sideways passes instead of exploiting dangerous openings through the lines. The writer suggests that introducing more technically gifted options like Fernandes or a returning James Maddison could help solve Tottenham's creative issues in midfield.
