Was beginning to have a rethink about Tottenham Hotspur, was thinking that they're ready to compete for trophies not only compete but win it also.
With the way they drew against Fulham and still went on to lose in the penalty shootout, is not encouraging at all.
A team that won by two goals to nil against Bournemouth could not hit Fulham. I just hope they win their next game, thought they've started doing well but from what I saw last night, is nothing to write home about.
You are correct that Tottenham's performance is not as strong as it once was, as evidenced by the match they played against Fulham. Previously, I had believed that Tottenham's performance would improve after their victory over Manchester United because it appeared that they were very ecstatic. It even leads some people to believe that Harry Kane's absence won't have an impact on the team's performance, but given the way Fulham plays, I believe Kane's absence is having an impact on the team because I think it will be difficult for Tottenham to lose without responding with a goal against Fulham if Kane plays.
It will be beneficial if the team adjusts their plans and performs well because if they allow the absence of Kane to affect them, they will not make a good position this season. The Premier League is just getting started, and the start of the league is every team's best chance to make a statement because immediately after a team makes a strong statement from the start of the league and the team didn't give up, they will end up in good position even if they don't win the league title.
