CON – Not enough goals

The biggest criticism of Spurs this season has been their lack of goals, especially when Harry Kane was sidelined by injury.

The English international missed five games earlier in the campaign, and in that time Spurs netted just six goals.

The likes of Eriksen, Dele Alli, and Erik Lamela didn’t contribute enough during Kane’s spell out, and Vincent Janssen has struggled to adapt quick enough to the English game to be a ready-made replacement for the England striker.

It has been clear since his return how much they rely on the 23-year-old, who netted seven goals in his first six games after injury, although they did net three against Hull on Wednesday, of which Kane didn’t get any.

It remains to be seen whether there are enough goals in that squad to sustain a title challenge.
