Tottenham need to move on from excuses about their form at home

Hotspur HQ's Chris Batty argues that Tottenham Hotspur must discard excuses about their stadium and home support as the winless club sits at the bottom of the Premier League table. The writer points out that Tottenham previously achieved strong home records at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including 12 home wins in 2019–20 and 13 under Ange Postecoglou, proving the venue itself is not the underlying problem.

Batty contends that poor form started late in Postecoglou's tenure before carrying into Thomas Frank's spell and current manager Roberto De Zerbi's campaign. The column warns that despite summer backing, De Zerbi has limited time to turn results around before facing another severe relegation battle.
