The pressure is now mounting on Roberto De Zerbi as Tottenham find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table after five matches.Spurs are still searching for their first league win after a summer of major upheaval in North London, where 10 new players arrived through the door, and an even higher number departed.IncomingsAndrew RobertsonFreeMarcos SenesiFreeMartin DubravkaFreeJan Paul van Hecke£52mMateus Fernandes£85mSandro Tonali£100mSavinho£85mOmar Marmoush£60mTosin Adarabioyo£12mMykhailo MudrykLoanTotal spent£394mOutgoingsLuka Vuskovic£50mWill Lankshear£20mRadu Dragusin£21mAlejo Veliz£7.7mAlfie Devine£6mTynan Thompson£8mManor Solomon£7mCristian Romero£34.1mAshley Phillips£20mDjed Spence£30mKevin Danso£25mPape Matar Sarr£25.6mTotal received£254.8mTottenham’s net spend£139.2mDe Zerbi was given the freedom to do major surgery on the Spurs squad after two back-to-back 17th-placed finishes, but there is very little evidence that things have gotten better.Some pundits are already suggesting that De Zerbi’s position is under threat after a summer of big spending.

There’s definitely a fragility and a weakness about them. In the last 48 games, when they’ve gone behind, they’ve failed to win any of them, so that tells you what and who they are at this moment in time.“It’s his job to change that, and that looks very, very difficult because when you go in front, you know with the state that they are at the moment and have been for such a long time, you’ve got a really good chance of winning that game.”When it was pointed out to the Newcastle legend that the poor run happened under different managers and players, Shearer responded: “Yes, but he signed six of them that started today, so he has to change that.”Mentality criticism reflects poorly on De ZerbiThis is not the first time that the Tottenham boss has spoken about the team’s mental fragility, with De Zerbi saying that you cannot buy mentality in the transfer market following the 3-0 loss to Brentford.He said: “It’s the biggest problem, it’s the biggest challenge and it’s the biggest target to find the right mentality. Unfortunately, you can’t buy the mentality in the transfer market or putting many players inside.“Football is like a magic thing, you know? You can change many players in a window, in one window of transfer market and you can find the balance immediately or you need more time.“I think we (will) achieve this target and this goal. I would like to achieve this target quickly and as soon as possible because it is crucial to play football, but the plan and the project of the club and what we are doing to build and rebuild a new team with great players is a great plan and a great project.”While these statements may have been made in jest after the disappointments of certain results, it reflects poorly on the Italian.He was essentially given a free hand to sell and sign the players he wanted to, and part of his job was to bring in players with the right mentality.READ MORE: Tottenham have the best players in England in one position, says Roberto De ZerbiThe post Alan Shearer has had enough of one particular Roberto De Zerbi excuse at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
