3 reasons why Tottenham will not win the 2016/17 Premier League title

Strength in depth in attacking areas

Janssen moved to White Hart Lane during the summer for £17 million as a way of bolstering Pochettino’s striking options, but it still feels like, apart from Pochettino’s starting eleven, the depth isn’t there in the attacking areas.

First choices Alli, Eriksen, and Lamela are all good players who proved last season that they can both score and create chances, but if one of them gets injured or suspended, are the deputies as good? Probably not.

Of the attacking four positions Pochettino usually plays, he’s got Kane, Alli, Lamela, Son, and Eriksen as his main, and arguably only, options – the rest are unproven, or just not good enough at this time, which made it slightly more surprising that Nacer Chadli was allowed to leave the club in the summer.

Spurs didn’t suffer too many injuries last season in these areas, but it only takes a suspension or injury here and there to blunt their attack.

This lack of depth could cost them the title.
