Current Status
Although Tottenham has had a good start, they are displaying a weak expected goal difference of -1.39, placing them 12th in the league. While goals have been scored, they have overperformed defensively, allowing fewer goals than expected.
The team faces a challenging schedule both in the league and Champions League, and coach Frank may need to seek more creativity from players like Xavi Simons, who must find his form to support the team’s ambitions.
As seen in recent performances, the contributions of Mickey Van De Ven and Richarlison have been beneficial, but consistent support in midfield is essential to avoid falling back down the table.
