Tottenham Hotspur’s bad start has now become a real concern. Spurs were held to a 0-0 draw by Nottingham Forest, meaning they have gone their first three Premier League games without scoring. They lost 3-0 to Brentford in their opener, then 2-0 to Newcastle, before finally picking up their first point against Forest. Even in this game, Tottenham could not manage a single shot on target.
What makes it even more frustrating is the money Tottenham spent to improve this team. The club have invested more than £300 million on new players this summer, including Savio for £75 million and Sandro Tonali for £92.5 million. Yet after three league games, Spurs have one point, five goals conceded and still no goals scored. Their only goals this season came in a 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Charlton’s B team. For a team that spent so heavily in the transfer market, failing to score in three straight league games is a worrying sign. Roberto De Zerbi will now have to find a way to get this expensive attack firing quickly.
Netizens question Tottenham Hotspur’s management as team remains goal-less after three matches
Tottenham’s goalless run has quickly become the biggest talking point around their Premier League start. Spurs lost 3-0 to Brentford in their opening game, followed by 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, before playing out 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. That leaves them with just one point from three games, five goals conceded and still no Premier League goals. Against Forest, Spurs could not even register a shot on target, making their attacking problems even more worrying.
On X, fans reacted with frustration, disbelief and plenty of jokes over Tottenham’s start. Many looked back at all three matches, pointing out how Spurs have struggled to create clear chances and find someone to finish them. Others questioned how a team that spent more than £300 million during summer can look so short of attacking ideas. Some supporters also felt the Forest game showed small improvements and argued that the new-look squad needs time. Still, after three games without a goal, patience is already being tested.
