British sports media 'The Athletic" reported on the 12th (Korea time) 'Tottenham's instability is causing costs. Director Enze Postecoglou pointed out that a solution must be found.
Tottenham won 3-0 away to Manchester United in the sixth round of the '2024-2025 Premier League'.
In Round 7, they lost 2 to 3 against upper-middle-ranking rival Brighton.
They defeated West Ham 4-1 in the eighth round, before losing 0-1 to relegation Crystal Palace in the ninth round.
In the 10th round, they defeated Aston Villa, who have recently emerged as a strong player, 4-1, and then lost to promoted team Ipswich Town 1-2 in the 11th round.
Tottenham is a big winner when they win and a waste when they lose.
Tottenham's scoring distribution is extremely inefficient. Tottenham scored 23 goals and 13 runs until the 11th round, with a goal difference of +10. He is second in the league. However, he is ranked 10th with only 5 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses, and 16 points.
Manchester City has 22 goals and 13 goals scored +9. Tottenham scored one more goal than Manchester City, and the number of goals lost is the same. However, Manchester City ranks second in the league with seven wins, two draws and two losses and 23 points.
The Athletic said 'Tottenham are playing a cruel trick on their fans this season. They stumbled the next week whenever they seemed to be making great progress. They only have one winning streak in the league this season. If you want to realize Postecoglou's words that he always won the title in his second year in office, you need to fix it quickly."
Following this 'Data shows Tottenham are a much better team than this time last year. He scored more goals and didn't lose many points. They gained more frequent possession at higher positions on the field and became adept at playing from the back. The team's level is higher and the physical strength has improved,' he said, praising one side.
But the result was different.

Tottenham lost all of their one-goal matches in this year's Premier League.
All five of their wins were more than two goals apart, and all five losses were one-point losses.
It is extremely weak at the match point, and it can be seen that many goals come out when the match is already tilted.
Is it really interesting that the Athletic has won all of the league by at least two goals? Or is it a sign that when an opponent comes out strong, they don't find a way to score a goal?' raised the question.
Tottenham manager Postecoglou gave a theoretical answer.
Postecoglou is "It's my responsibility. The ups and downs we are experiencing this year ultimately depend on me and my approach. I have to try to fix it and see if I can help the players."
Just in time, the Premier League faced an A-match break. Tottenham's next game is against Manchester City in the 12th round on the 24th. Tottenham earned two weeks. Tottenham beat Manchester City 2-1 in the Carabao Cup round of 16.
The Athletic said it would not be a big surprise if Tottenham beat Manchester City again. Tottenham also show a thrilling performance, but they are inconsistent and are blocking opportunities for development. Postecoglou had two weeks to solve the problem's homework.
