Episode Description

Four games into the season, Spurs are still waiting for their first goal — but is it really time to panic?

Graham, Mark and Thom are back to dissect Tottenham's 0-0 draw with Everton and the very different ways we're all feeling about the start to life under Roberto De Zerbi.

There are positives. Two clean sheets in a row, a defence that looks increasingly solid and signs that the midfield and overall structure are improving. But there's one rather obvious problem: Spurs still can't score.

We discuss whether the new-look attack simply needs time to click, the struggles of Savinho, Marmoush and Tel, and whether Tottenham actually signed the natural goalscorer this squad desperately needed.

There's also a big debate about De Zerbi. Is he right to publicly demand more from his players, or could his very visible coaching and criticism actually be damaging the confidence of an attack already struggling to make decisions in the final third?

Then we get into the increasingly strange Richarlison situation. After moves to Everton, Turkey and Brazil all failed to materialise, last season's top scorer is still at Spurs — but isn't in the Premier League squad and seemingly isn't in De Zerbi's plans. Has the whole situation been badly handled?

Thom's Teaser takes us back to Spurs' previous 0-0 home draw in 2017, as Mark and Graham attempt to reconstruct the starting XI against Swansea — with the contest going right down to the wire.

🔮 We also look ahead to a huge Carabao Cup tie at Liverpool, question De Zerbi's plans to rotate at Anfield, and make our predictions for Aston Villa before asking the big question: are there genuine reasons to believe things are about to improve, or are Spurs fans already running out of patience?

Come on you Spurs! COYS
