Four Tottenham legends travelled to watch Forest draw and were left ‘disappointed’ but ‘heartened’

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur won their first point of the season against Nottingham Forest, but the side’s performance has been getting mixed reviews.Roberto De Zerbi and the Spurs players have been keen to stress the positives from Saturday’s draw, and there were undoubtedly a few, with the Tottenham players showing great fight and desire to emerge with a cleansheet.The Spurs boss insisted that Tonali, Gallagher, Bentancur and Van de Ven all had great games at the City Ground, with chances for both sides few and far between.However, the main concern from a Tottenham perspective is the fact that they have not gone three matches without scoring a single goal.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramSeveral Tottenham legends travelled to the City Ground and were left disappointedFormer Spurs scout Bryan King has revealed that the likes of Pat Jennings, Osvaldo Ardiles and other Spurs legends had made the trip up to Nottingham to watch De Zerbi’s side in action.He claimed that the Tottenham players were aware that the legends were in attendance, but that was not enough to inspire the team into a top performance.King told Football Insider: “There was a group of [ex-]Tottenham players who made the journey up. Paul Miller, Pat Jennings, Ozzy Ardiles, Mark Falco all made the journey up there, hoping it was going to be a win.“And to be honest, all of them sounded quite disappointed, although a little heartened by the performance. But these guys have made the journey. The players are aware of it. So let’s reward these legends with a good performance and three points. Nowhere near it.”Spurs are creating chances, but do they have enough goals in the team?Worries about Tottenham’s ability to create chances are overblown as they have registered an xG of 3.5 so far this season across their three matches, as per WhoScored.However, the worry is that they are the team underperforming xG the most in their first three league games.The jury is out on whether Spurs have enough goals in their frontline to challenge for a top six finish. De Zerbi needs Dominic Solanke to stay fit and for Omar Marmoush to get at least 15 goals this term.Tottenham are the biggest underperformers of xG (-3.50) in the Premier League this season. 📉 pic.twitter.com/tIiueT9AJ9— WhoScored (@WhoScored) September 7, 2026READ MORE: Paul Merson warns Tottenham about worrying sign in De Zerbi’s off-pitch behaviourThe post Four Tottenham legends travelled to watch Forest draw and were left ‘disappointed’ but ‘heartened’ appeared first on Spurs Web.
