I'm not saying they are underachieving. I was pointing out the contradiction of narrative on their part. I have heard Spurs have the best defence in the league with Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Walker then Tripper etc. I've heard Dembele was better than Pogba at one point. I've heard Kane is better than Aguero (who is the sort of striker that carries a team to a title) I've heard Eriksen is world class. Son and Alli some of the best supporting forwards in the league. Dier huge talent at one point. Lloris better than Peter Chech. Now I'm fully aware not all Spurs fans agree on these claims so I wont call someone out here. I'm just pointing out that it certainly is contradictions on a general level when we talk about narratives surrounding Spurs.
I've never heard about a team having the best defence in the league, with the best striker in the league, with top 3 goalkeepers in the league managed by a top 2 manager in the league but never won a trophy. Certainly not without being ridiculed, but instead being praised on all levels for their "achievements". I get that expectations are low at a club like Spurs, but damn, looking at the narratives somewhere in there its a few lies somewhere surely.
