‘Void of leaders’ – The problems for bottom-side Spurs after winless start

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood and reporter Michael Bridge assessed Spurs' struggles on a Sky Sports podcast after a winless five-game start left them bottom of the Premier League. Following a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa, both analysts expressed concerns regarding a lack of leadership and fighting spirit when the squad falls behind in matches.

Sherwood noted that none of the club's 10 summer signings costing over £330m have impressed him so far, while Bridge highlighted concerns over striker options, including new addition Omar Marmoush. Despite the poor run, both Sherwood and Bridge believe manager Roberto De Zerbi retains the club's trust and is not under immediate pressure.
