Severe statistical concerns are plaguing the North London club, as they lag behind the Premier League average expected goals metric of 1.41 per fixture since the previous campaign. Generating minimal high-quality opportunities, the squad ranks bottom in expected goals per attempt and third-lowest in overall expected goals across the division, trailing only Coventry in failing to capitalize on chances. Should Everton manage to keep a clean sheet this coming Saturday, Tottenham will set an unwanted record by failing to score in their opening four top-flight encounters. This offensive slump coincides with a worrying dip in stamina, given that opponents have outrun them in every fixture this term, leaving them second-from-bottom for distance covered and 16th in sprinting volume after previously ranking in the top five under their current manager
Scoreless without a single victory: Is there reason for alarm regarding Tottenham’s initial top-flight campaign?
