DE ZERBI UNDER PRESSURE... Spurs Still Haven't Scored A Goal | Anfield Next | An Echo of Glory

Four league games. Three hundred and sixty minutes of football. Not one goal.

No Spurs side has ever started a season like this. Not in 144 years. And on Saturday night, after another nil-nil at home, the stadium let them know about it.

We're picking through all of it. The 0-0 with Everton, where we had the ball for two thirds of the game and still lost the xG. The boos at full time. Roberto De Zerbi going straight for Mathys Tel at the whistle and explaining afterwards exactly why. The press conference where he told everyone what he walked into last season and how honest he intends to be about it.

Then there's the squad. Savio and Marmoush both started and both drew a blank. Solanke still looks short of sharpness. Mudryk is out for weeks with an ankle. Kulusevski is still not training. Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are unavailable. Richarlison is stuck outside the 25-man Premier League list after the Vasco da Gama move collapsed, which means he cannot help us in the league until January. Over three hundred million quid spent this summer and we cannot put the ball in the net.

There is some good in there. Two clean sheets on the bounce. Maddison is back. Bergvall has signed a new deal after all that summer noise. De Zerbi keeps pointing at the first thirty minutes against Forest and Everton and saying that is the team he is building. The question is whether anyone at N17 has the patience to wait for minute thirty-one.

And then Anfield. Carabao Cup third round, Tuesday night, live on ITV. De Zerbi has hinted at heavy rotation, which finally opens the door for Richarlison because cup football is the one place he is still eligible. Andy Robertson goes back to Anfield for the first time since leaving in the summer. It is the last place you would choose to go looking for your first goal of the season, and it might be exactly the place we find it.

Then Aston Villa at home on Saturday. They are 19th. We are 17th. It is the final game before a three-week international break, so whatever happens on Saturday is what we all sit with until October.

Where we are, where we're going, and whether this is a slow build or the same old story. Get involved in the comments.
