Tottenham, the dark moment: worse than this only in 1993-94
Only Ossie Ardlies has lost more Premier League games than Postecoglou in a season

London, 22 April 2025 – The negative moment of the Tottenham, which also against the Nottingham Forest suffered a defeat. Spurs are struggling with one of the worst seasons in their history: in the league, Its and his teammates are even in sixteenth place, with the European zone now a mirage. The team has had a huge regression compared to last year, when, at the end of the 38 championship games, it was classified in fifth place, achieving qualification in Europa League. In 33 games, Spurs have won only 11 times, also collecting 4 draws and 18 defeats. This is the second worst result ever for Tottenham, equal to the 1996-97 season, when the coach was Gerry Francis: that season, the team finished in tenth place with 46 points. Worse than that season and the current one is only 1993-94, with Ossie Ardlies on the bench. Then, Spurs finished in fifteenth place with 45 points gained from 11 wins, 12 draws and 19 defeats. Postecoglou are just one defeat away from equalling this negative record, and with five games remaining the risk is high. In the coming weeks, in fact, the Spurs will have to face the Liverpool, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Brighton, and the coach's minimum objective must be to not collect any defeats, to avoid equalling the worst season ever in the club's history in terms of the championship. The only competition that can save Tottenham's season is the Europa League, in which they are still in the running. Son and his teammates have eliminated Eintracht Frankfurt to the quarter-finals thanks to a 1-0 victory in Germany with a penalty scored by Salt pans in the 43rd minute. The next opponent they will have to face will be the Bod/Glimt, a true revelation of the tournament, who in the quarter-finals eliminated the Lazio on penalties. Spurs will play their first home game, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday 1 May at 21pm, with the return in Norway the following week. In any case, managing to triumph in the Europa League will be extremely complicated, given the tenor of the other teams still in the competition, the Manchester United e Athletic Bilbao, which they respectively eliminated Lyon e Rangers. At the end of the season, then, the management will make the necessary assessments to bring the team back to a competitive level after a decidedly bad year, which risks becoming the worst in the club's history, at least as far as the Premier League is concerned.
