Porro‘s frustration with Bergvall​ Highlights Growing Issues at Tottenham

Recent performances and visible discord within the Tottenham ⁣Hotspur squad are raising concerns just three⁣ months into the season, culminating in‌ a frustrating defeat to Fulham. A particularly ⁤telling moment – a heated exchange ‍between Pedro‍ Porro and young midfielder‌ Lucas Bergvall at‍ half-time – ‌underscores the lack of harmony currently⁣ plaguing the team under manager Ange Postecoglou.

The ‍incident, witnessed during‌ the fulham ⁤match, wasn’t ‌an isolated event.The article notes a broader atmosphere of tension, with players “shouting at each other” and fans “booing their own players.” This discontent is reflected in the team’s recent form: ‌three defeats in ​a week have erased any ‌positive momentum gained from the PSG clash.

Porro’s own performance against⁣ Fulham was lackluster, with⁤ his crossing proving ineffective⁢ – only two of his 16 ⁣attempts found​ a ⁢Spurs player. Meanwhile, fellow attacker Mohamed⁢ Kudus, ⁢despite scoring, was⁢ described as “poor,” repeatedly attempting‌ individual ​dribbles‌ without ⁤important impact. Kudus hasn’t recorded an assist ‌in “almost​ two‍ months” and his goal was his first⁤ since “early October.”

The situation is ⁢further complex⁣ by the⁣ underutilization of summer signings. Postecoglou is ‌”only really playing three of his summer arrivals with any regularity,” and there’s a perceived lack of player growth under his leadership. The upcoming schedule – a ‌trip to ‌Newcastle⁣ and ⁢a home game against Brentford (who currently ‍sit ⁢above Tottenham in the table) – presents a critical test for Postecoglou.

Despite the mounting pressure,⁢ the article suggests the club’s ownership, the Lewis family, are expected to support Postecoglou with funds in‍ the January transfer window. However, that support hinges on the manager demonstrating he can effectively integrate new players. CEO Vinai Venkatesham’s reputation for patience, honed during his time at Arsenal with⁣ Mikel Arteta, may also factor into the club’s decision-making.

Ultimately, the ‍article paints a ⁤picture of a team struggling⁤ with cohesion and performance. The frustration⁢ displayed⁢ by Porro ⁣towards Bergvall is symptomatic of a deeper malaise,and a swift turnaround is needed‌ to avoid falling ‍into “the same old Spurs cycle of doom.”
