Spurs are finished as rivals. The team that made them so likeable to the neutral has reached its peak. I think it reached its peak prior to last season, too. Their cup run was somewhat fortunate and their league form was a truer reflection of the team.
Walker and Rose are either gone or done. Their centre halves aren’t quite the same as they were. Lloris was wobbling prior to the injury. Eriksen looks to be on his way out and they failed to effectively replace Dembele, who was brilliant in midfield for them. Kane and Alli remain, but for how long?
Spurs are the victim of their own success, in truth. Pochettino had them punching well above their weight and now he’s gone. Replaced by a destructive manager that will need resources to change the team to suit. He had resources in his last job, too, and we all know what good he did with them.
In the transfer market, Levy was given an option to stick or twist. He decided to stick; a decision all involved will come to regret. At one point, they were only a player or two from really winning something. Oh, well...
