Tottenham were in good form at the beginning of the season. But the team has not been able to maintain the good performance. Tottenham has lost the truck very badly. And it may not be possible for Tottenham to be in the top 10 of the points table this season. Because this team is playing badly and losing points consistently. Tottenham has lost the last 4 matches consecutively. The team is not able to play well even against weak teams.
Aside from the fact that Tottenham don't have a good squad, the way they play is a disadvantage to them. From the beginning of the season, you could tell it wouldn't be sustainable for them to play that way the whole season.
Tottenham plays with a very high line which is good, but they don't press as much as they should for a team that's playing a high line.
If you want to play a high line, you have to be ready to win the ball back in the opponent's half before they can have any comfort to do anything with the ball. This is the kind of football Barcelona plays, that's why they don't struggle against attacking teams, the more you attack the more you give them space to exploit you and they're ready to press and run for 90 minutes, I can't say the same about Tottenham.
Chelsea played the same football against Man City and they were bad because they could press and they were not sharp on the counter.
