Why Spurs need new centre-mid to keep Pochettino project alive
COMMENT: There is a tendency in football to construct narratives based on the smallest of sample sizes, a phenomenon that is particularly prevalent at the beginning of a new season when there are column inches to write and air time to fill with very little football to go on.
This explains the sudden switch in the public perception of Tottenham Hotspur over the last fortnight: before defeat at Watford the club's lack of transfer activity over the summer was praised as an example of level-headedness amid inflated prices, as a dignified triumph of Spurs' constancy. Back-to-back defeats has flipped the narrative. Stability is now refracted as stagnation.
