Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL) is struggling at the most important time of the season. Tottenham, who suffered their fourth consecutive loss in 20 years, found it virtually difficult to secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Tottenham lost 2-4 in the 2023-24 EPL round 36 away game against Liverpool held at Anfield, England on the 6th (Korean time).
Tottenham, who lost 4 times in a row, recorded 18 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses (60 points), failing to close the gap with 4th place Aston Villa (67 points).
The fact that Aston Villa lost to Brighton on the same day is some consolation, but the situation is not so good for Tottenham as they also failed to add a point.
Even if Aston Villa adds just one win in the remaining two games, it will become impossible for Tottenham to qualify for the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
For Tottenham, the lack of support at the last minute is painful. Tottenham was in good spirits with 8 wins, 2 draws and undefeated until the 10th round after the opening, but now that they are in the middle of chasing Aston Villa, they have fallen into a swamp of 4 consecutive losses at a time when winning them all is not enough. The blow is even greater as the loss comes at the end of the league when the final rankings are decided. 파워볼사이트
This is the first time since 2002 that Tottenham has lost four consecutive games in the EPL. The situation is such that the team cannot do well because it is reminiscent of the humiliating history of 20 years ago. The biggest reason for the sluggish performance is the broken defense. Tottenham gave up 13 goals during their 4-game losing streak. In particular, in the games against Newcastle and Liverpool, where they gave up 4 goals each, once they conceded a goal, they collapsed to the point where it was difficult to recover. In addition, if Plan A was blocked and the flow was not resolved, no countermeasures were taken, so all four games were virtually helpless. The only consolation is that in the game against Liverpool, even after conceding 4 goals, they followed up with 2 goals. If Tottenham is to maintain its chances of qualifying for the UCL, its shaky defense must first be overhauled and a Plan B established. There is no hope if you can't fix your frustrating performance every time your opponent prepares with customized tactics. Tottenham were once leading the league, and until recently, there was a time when they were closer to fourth place than Aston Villa. But Tottenham squandered that opportunity themselves. With the worst results in succession at the most important time, the 'golden time' is almost here. 성인웹툰
