Chris Waddle believes that Tottenham are missing one specific type of player to unlock their potential, as they still wait for their first win of the campaign. Spurs have delivered some positive performances so far this season, but those have not translated into results, with the Lilywhites rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table after five matches.

There’s always pressure, there’s always scrutiny. They are one of the Big Six. We’ve seen a lot of players who are really good players, by the way.“But the one thing lacking is a No 9 and a No 10 in a way, even though [Omar] Marmoush is going in there. James Maddison, I don’t know if he can last 90 minutes, he doesn’t seem to play a lot of minutes.“They’re missing that player for me, a good No 10. The wingers are good but in midfield they’ve got Tonali, [Rodrigo] Bentancur, [Lucas] Bergvall, Archie Gray, I think they’re all very similar. You need different types of players. You definitely need a talent like Dele Alli and going back to Gazza, Glenn Hoddle.“They’ve always had a No 10, a talisman who can make goals and score goals, they haven’t got that at the minute. They’ve got a lot of good players, but the midfielders are very similar.”Waddle insists Spurs players have not downed toolsThe former Tottenham fan favourite remarked that one cannot fault the efforts of the squad in their first five games of the season.Waddle suggested that the players are working hard but believes they are getting frustrated at not seeing the ball go into the back of the net.He added: “It’s hard when new players haven’t hit the ground running, a lot of players haven’t. Getting the balance right is key, because they’ve signed loads of players, but you’ve got to get the balance right.“The players are listening, the players understand how big Tottenham are and what’s required. It’s not a lack of effort, it’s probably a lack of confidence rather than effort, because they’re working hard.“You can’t say they’ve downed tools, they actually are working very hard. But it’s putting that ball in the net, and eventually you can see the frustration in them because they think, ‘Yeah, we might have a lot of possession, we create some good chances, but we don’t take them.'”READ MORE: Alan Shearer rescinds Tottenham top-six claim and makes big relegation predictionThe post Chris Waddle says Tottenham players are 'too similar' in one key area, Dele Alli name dropped appeared first on Spurs Web.
