Tottenham, one of the Premier League BIG6s, did not have any signings in the transfer market this summer, which is somewhat different from the current mainstream of the Premier League. However, after the start of the new season, Tottenham’s performance is very good. So far, Tottenham got 42 points in the Premier League after 18 rounds, ranking third in the standings. Pochettino has lead the team create the best start in the club’s history and qualify for the Champions League 1/8 finals.
The competition in the Premier League is fierce, and each team will make big signings in order to achieve good results. Take this summer window as example, Liverpool spent 182.2 million euros to introduce Alison, Fabio and Shaqiri. Among all the Premier League clubs, Liverpool spent the most money in signing new players, and after 18 rounds of the new season, Liverpool has got the first place in the Premier League. Liverpool’s spending has gained the reward.
However, this does not mean that the investment in the signings will bring good results. For example, Fulham, who spent 117 million euros in transfer market this summer, spent the thrid most money in the Premier League. But so far, after 18 rounds, Fulham has only got 2 wins , 4 draws and 16 losses. Currently, they ranks at the bottom with 10 points.
Tottenham is quite surprising. They did not spend a penny in this summer’s transfer marke and is the only team in Premier League that spends 0 in transfer market. Although there is no signing, Tottenham still takes out great performance this season. After 18 rounds of the Premier League, they has 14 wins and 4 losses, ranking the 3rd in the Premier League with 42 points.
In the Champions League, Tottenham also successfully advanced from the group of death. In the final round of the group stage, they tried hard to get a draw with powerful Barcelona, and it helped the team qualify for the knockout stage.
In the last 13 games, Tottenham has won 11 games, and in the last game against Everton, Tottenham beat the opponent by 6-2, which showed their strong offense.
At present, the strength of Tottenham has a lot to do with Pochettino’s command. Whether Tottenham can continue the strong performance in the second half of the season is worrying After all, in the second half of the season, as the game increases, the physical strength of the main players of the Spurs will decline, and the disadvantages of the Tottenham bench will be exposed. Without enough strong substitudes, Tottenham may face some problems when the season comes to an critical period.
