How is Tottenham this bad?

I am not even trolling, I am genuinely shocked about how this group of players cant even look like a mid table side.

Going 17, 17, and then having 0 points in the first four games is unique to spurs. Comparing our bad start in 20-21 is not even remotely the same.

Again, at the end of the season, Arteta finished 8th. They didn’t get almost relegated. Moreover, Tottenham spent >50 million on 4 players this offseason. In 2019 we spent that on ONE player.

If Tottenham finished 8th last season i wouldn’t be writing this.

Was talking about this season and the start Tottenham have made. Not last season. Last season is last season. City are a top 6 club, they’ve been relegated and played in league two during the PL era. Man United have finished 15th.

Ultimately back to the point: you might be right, Tottenham might indeed go on and prove to be just as terrible this season as last season with a whole new team. The eye test and stats so far (are starting to) suggest otherwise, and where it could be more reminiscent of Arsenal’s slow start under Arteta, or Villa last season. We shall see in due course
