Tottenham continues to suffer bitter defeats and this time they lost at home with a narrow score of 2-1, even though Celso managed to score a quick goal in the 22nd minute.
Tottenham Hotspur missed 9 points in last 3 games otherwise they would be first in the ranking with a safe points difference from the second team. Aston Villa did a good job turning the table upside down on Spurs head and picking a victory.
If Tottenham will continue like that then they will find themselves overtaken by Manchester United or Newcastle in the next round since these two teams will face each other and Spurs will have to face Manchester City!
Tottenham seemed to have lost the spirit of their game like before. Losing 9 points in a row is certainly quite distressing. Spurs are also threatened with dropping points again in the next match against Manchester City. The Spurs manager certainly has to rack his brains to restore the confidence of his players so they can return to a winning trend. But I think it will be very difficult for Spurs to recover until next week's meeting.
Tottenham have suffered 3 defeats in a row and this is a bad result, I didn't expect Tottenham to lose again at home and I didn't see Son Heung Min has score goals for his club recently, it seems like Ange Postecoglou has not been able to restore the players confidence to what it was before. If it continues like this, Tottenham Hotspurs will fall even further from the top 3 and increase the difference in points from the title contenders in the Premier League.
I thinks Tottenham will suffer another defeat when they visit Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspurs are currently no longer favorites in the title race because they are already quite a lot of point behind and in the next match Manchester City will try to winning the match to reclaim first position which is currently occupied by Arsenal.
It is shameful for a club whose name has been chanted for appraisal, having 3 straight losses is bad for Tottenham right now, they even lost against the clubs they should have beaten which is the worst part. They would have been well above Liverpool if they won against Aston Villa as Liverpool drew Man City which would have been an advantage for them. This would have further favoured them again with their match against Man City. But now, I wonder how the club that couldn't beat Aston Villa despite having the home advantage would be able to beat a better club like Man City. By the 1 point against Liverpool, I believe Man City would want to be more serious against Tottenham and I don't know how Tottenham will be able to deal with that without conceding goals to them.
Against Aston Villa, Giovani Lo Celso helped the day a bit, he started the goal of the match but Tottenham couldn't defend as Aston Villa landed one each in both halves. I also believe that Son's issue is not uncommon, he was nowhere to be found yesterday but we can't always blame him. There is downtime in performance as well, that's even as he would believe he was doing enough. This is where the coaching comes in to boost his morale. But I'm afraid, this might not work anymore until after Man City's match against them. Who knows, Tottenham may still surprise everyone.
Tottenham were a bit unlucky. They've had some good chances, but it's not to be. After Harry Kane's departure, they seem to be attacking faster. That's the impression I got. Tottenham is my favourite team to watch this year. Even if they don't win they give me a lot of pleasure with the positions they take and the way they play. I feel sorry for coach Ange, there is so much missing in the team that if they hadn't been unlucky they would have been champions this season, they don't have any European games and that was a big advantage. I feel sad that a great season will be wasted because of bad luck, but despite everything, they still play an enjoyable game.
