De Zerbi faces early Tottenham dilemma after poor start
Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action after the international break still without a win from their opening five matches and bottom of the table. According to BBC Sport, the club’s alarming start has raised fresh questions about whether another relegation battle could be looming.
The BBC’s analysis looks back over Spurs’ poor opening to the campaign and considers whether the problem is simply that the team have yet to gel, or whether it is a sign of deeper, more familiar struggles. With only one point collected so far, the pressure is already building.
For a club of Tottenham’s size, sitting at the foot of the table after five games is a significant concern. The break has offered a pause, but it has not changed the fact that their early-season form has left them in an increasingly uncomfortable position.
BBC Sport’s feature frames the issue around the question of whether De Zerbi can quickly find a solution, or whether Spurs are heading into a season defined by survival rather than progress. The coming weeks now look important as they try to turn an unconvincing start into something more stable.
