It’s tough to be a Tottenham fan these days/years. Probably the most enthusiastic set of fans during June/July are now the most depressing ones. And for a reason. Their club spend 300 million pounds on new players and have a respectable manager Roberto De Zerbi, who saved them from relegation last season. After two 17-placed season endings in the Premier League, Spurs have hoped for so much more especially since they brought in experienced footballers, ready to deliver here and now. But instead, they keep losing matches and their two late goals in a 3-2 home loss to Aston Villa are the only ones they scored so far.50 – Tottenham Hotspur have lost 50 of their 141 Premier League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as many defeats as Arsenal have suffered in 382 top-flight matches at the Emirates Stadium.Gap. pic.twitter.com/M9bGo0HEPk— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 19, 2026 What is worse, they have lost 48 consecutive games in which they conceded the goal first – quite stunning. And now we have come to a point when even Roberto De Zerbi admits he has never experienced anything similar in all his years as a coach."It's a mental aspect for sure, but they have the right mentality. They work very well, they are good players. It's difficult to explain because, in my career, 14 years as a coach, I've never seen one team like us. So fragile, so inconsistent. You're good, or you're bad. You can't be very good in the first 30, 40 minutes, and then concede like this in this way. It's tough to accept for me. Maybe the communication between the players is the problem, maybe the leaders have to be stronger. We need leaders to drive and lead the team…I don't know, I want to speak with the players when I stay with them“ said De Zerbi to Talk Sports after the defeat.Endless like a Spurs agony: Manzambi destroys wasteful TottenhamIn a situations like this, it’s easy to look back at the previous Tottenham’s managers statements about this club."Tottenham's story is this – 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here? I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment" said Antonio Conte in 2023, just before he ended his North London adventure.🚨🚨| As it stands, Tottenham Hotspur are 18th in the Premier League and in the 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 zone, with 𝐙𝐄𝐑𝐎 goals scored in the league this season. ⚪📉 pic.twitter.com/j30TcpsgkS— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) September 19, 2026 Even harsher was Jose Mourinho, when recently asked about his former club.“Tottenham? They are a club with a disease. They sack the coaches who actually deliver. Pochettino gave them a Champions League final — gone. They did the same to me days before a cup final. And now? They win the Europa League after 17 years without silverware, thanks to Ange, and what do they do? Sack him 16 days later. No loyalty, no vision, just excuses and a big stadium. They betray the men who fight for them. One day this will catch up — maybe not relegation tomorrow, but they will keep falling until they learn: you don’t build success by destroying the winners” he said.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 5FridayBrentford – Chelsea 3-0 (0-0)/Anthony 61, Thiago 83, Carvalho 90+4/SaturdayTottenham – Aston Villa 1-3 (0-1)/Gallagher 87 – Manzambi 45+4, Jackson 67, Buendia 79/Brighton – Arsenal 3-0 (2-0)/Gross 31, Kostoulas 45, Andres 57/Everton – Ipswich 1-0 (1-0)/Barry 11/Newcastle – Hull 2-1 (2-0)/Willock 3, Hall 7 – Ali Cho 67/Nott Forest – Coventry 0-1 (0-0)/DaSilva 55/Sunday16.00: (3.15) Bournemouth (3.60) Liverpool (2.20)16.00: (1.80) Leeds (3.60) Crystal Palace (4.60)16.00: (1.30) Man City (5.50) Sunderland (10.0)18.30: (3.40) Fulham (3.50) Man.Utd.
