This is a basic problem that Tottenham cannot fix in recent seasons from the era of Pochettino, Conte to the current Ange Postecoglou Tottenham problems are always irreparable because at the end of the season they seem to run out of gas and cannot do much in defending the results of the match.
Even though seeing their performance at the beginning of this season Tottenham have a lot of momentum to make them more comfortable in a decent position but for now they are a little troubled by the performance problems that occur.
The results are not too good from Aston Villa, it should be used as a spirit of encouragement for them to be able to get full points to shift position to 4 but Tottenham's performance in the last 3 matches is really bad which makes them apart from failing to make a breakthrough in the top 4 at the moment if their situation continues like this it is not impossible that they will also be overtaken by Newcastle later.
Spurs are relenting when it comes to top race to retain a position for the Europa. However they can still push for excellent improvement. Tottenham can not lift major title because they're not ready. The board is not ready to fixed the club entirely, it's not all about making changes when it comes to coaches but spreading to other sectors of the club, ensuring to have backup replacement for their players and doing the ultimate targets by making potential signings, players with good vision will really help the club.
