Tottenham's dire run continued on Sunday as Roberto De Zerbi lost his first game in charge at Sunderland with defender Micky van de Ven making a damning assessment
The Telegraph's Luke Edwards believes Roberto de Zerbi will have to "oversee some turnaround" to keep Tottenham in the Premier League this season, adding that there are "huge problems" for the club to sort out.
Roberto De Zerbi’s first match in charge as Tottenham Hotspur manager ended in a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Sunderland.
The loss at the Stadium of Light on Sunday meant Tottenham now drop to 18th spot, two points behind 17th placed West Ham United.
Roberto De Zerbi thinks Tottenham Hotspur‘s players “don’t need a coach”, rather, they are looking for someone to be a “father” figure.
Spurs are in deep. Seriously deep. For all of the effort they made very, very few real chances in this game.
Now they are officially in the relegation zone, people are taking it seriously. It's been serious for much longer than that. It's been sitting staring at you.
