Jamie Redknapp names ‘diabolical’ problem he did not see coming at Tottenham

Wait 5 sec.

Jamie Redknapp has slammed Tottenham’s absolutely diabolical run of four Premier League games without a goal this season.Tottenham Hotspur have gone six hours without a goal in the Premier League this season after their latest draw with Everton on Saturday evening. The Lilywhites were held to a 0-0 draw and managed only their second point of the league campaign after four matches. That now leaves Roberto De Zerbi’s side in 17th place, with Spurs moving up a spot despite starting the gameweek in the bottom three.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramJamie Redknapp calls Tottenham’s goal drought “absolutely diabolical”There certainly have been signs of improvement from matchweek one to date, especially in defence. In the opening two matches of the season, Spurs conceded a whopping five goals, but in their last two games, they have managed two clean sheets.But they have struggled in attack, with the Lilywhites yet to find the back of the net for the first time in a season after four games. Their recent run of form in front of goal has now attracted fresh criticism, with Jamie Redknapp describing Tottenham’s struggles as “diabolical”.He said when speaking to Sky Sports: “Out of all the things they have done spending £300 million, one of the problems I thought when they assembled this squad will not be a lack of goals, I did not see that one. “I thought they might struggle to win games… but I thought about the players they have got in midfield -Fernandes, Tonali, Marmoush, Savinho, even Kudus coming off the bench – surely they have goals in this team. But to not score in the Premier League in six hours of football is absolutely diabolical whatever way you look at it.“They defended better today, I think the two centre-backs were better than what they have been, but just not enough. Solanke up front, I look at the team that has started to take shape, but no, they have to find the net. How could you not score in six hours of football?”"Absolutely diabolical" 😬Jamie Redknapp on Spurs not scoring in their first four Premier League games 😳 pic.twitter.com/48Nbxymlev— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) September 12, 2026Spurs’ attacking numbers underline their strugglesTottenham created a few half chances, but none were clear-cut, and the underlying numbers back that up. In the game against Everton, Spurs generated an xG of just 0.69 and had only two shots on target from their 14 attempts.Those two efforts on target came from outside the box, which pretty much sums up their struggles in front of goal. This definitely has to improve, and it should, as the forward players spend more time together and form relationships. The goals should come.READ MORE: ‘He agreed’ – De Zerbi reveals what he told Lucas Bergvall before new Tottenham contractThe post Jamie Redknapp names ‘diabolical’ problem he did not see coming at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
