Trying to trace back to where it all went wrong for Spurs.
This was the 2018/19 Premier League table after 26 games:
So 26 games in and it's looking pretty damn good, just about keeping up with record-setting Liverpool and Man City despite not signing a single player in either the previous summer or January transfer window.
Then we lost 2-1 away to Burnley and from that point on the bottom completely fell out of us:
Despite this run though we did successfully manage to navigate our way through the CL and into the final - which of course we lost and is now often cited as being the beginning of the end for us but really the rot had already set in by that point.
Since then it's just been a steady decline into mediocrity. Jose didn't do a bad job, the results were largely just a continuation of what we'd been seeing from the end of Poch's reign. Same story for Nuno, was probably never the right manager but the results he was getting were pretty much par for this squad, it was only really the Arsenal game in which I'd say he negatively affected our ability to get a result. He wasn't popular with the fans(not a big enough name) so was an easy scapegoat.
Conte is going to need serious backing to turn this around, if he doesn't then we'll just see the same mediocrity we've been seeing for almost three years now. That or he'll just walk.
