It’s been another of those weeks for Tottenham Hotspur fans. Just as things began looking rosy under manager Antonio Conte and we were seriously looking like we’d establish ourselves as top four contenders for 2021/22 – the wheels inevitably fell off as we made the trip to Brentford last weekend and again failed to register a single shot on target.
Everyone knew Brentford would be a tough cookie to crack and although victory wasn’t guaranteed, we knew if we clicked up front again we should have more than enough for their defence – and that simply makes not testing their goalkeeper even once all the more frustrating, particularly as, although we had the possession, they were far more dangerous on the ball and did more with it.
Leicester City and Brendan Rodgers might be having a tough time of things at the moment, but with them up next at White Hart Lane, again, it’s not going to be another easy day for us, but if we hope to chase Arsenal down now with their advantage, it has to be a win.
Conte will be demanding that – can the players deliver?
