Overview
- Tottenham remain winless with one point after three league games and have not scored a Premier League goal this season, a run that continued with Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest.
- At the City Ground Spurs registered no shots on target and wasted several promising chances because of rushed decisions and poor crosses, errors manager Roberto De Zerbi singled out after the match.
- De Zerbi publicly defended Mykhailo Mudryk’s fitness and warned the forward needs time to reach full sharpness while criticising Mathys Tel and Omar Marmoush for decision‑making in the final third.
- Mudryk made his Tottenham debut as a second‑half substitute after recent CAS clearance from a long absence, but the club has managed several players’ minutes for fitness as new signings bed in.
- Spurs spent heavily in the summer to rebuild the squad and the board has signalled patience for integration, yet growing fan and pundit scrutiny leaves little margin for error in the upcoming home match with Everton and the midweek cup tie.
