I still think they’ll be in the top half. I am surprised how poorly they’ve started, but actually the turnover of players, a lot of new players have come in, some of them late. He’s not yet established his best 11.“There’s a few decisions when you watch them play. I’ve done most of the games where it’s kind of a little bit baffling, but they’ve got enough. It’s just about getting through this initial bad spell. Last night didn’t help.“I think he picked a strong team, which he should have done because he’s under a bit of pressure. He’s got a lot of quality and competition for places, but he picked a really strong team and they played okay. They missed a couple of big chances in the first half, which can change momentum in a game, but to lose 3-1 is a little embarrassing.”Murphy warns De Zerbi Spurs fans could turn on himThe pundit remains confident that the Tottenham boss will get at least a couple of more months to turn things around.However, he warned De Zerbi that the opinion of the fan base could turn very quickly if Spurs suffer another loss on Saturday.Murphy added: “There comes a point with every manager at every club where the fans will start, and if they lose to Villa at the weekend before the international break, all of a sudden, amazingly, he’s under pressure. Even if they lose at the weekend, I still think they’ll give him a month or two after they get back from the international break.”READ MORE: Piero Ausilio changes his mind after Tottenham Hotspur approachThe post Danny Murphy predicts where Tottenham will finish this season, but it comes with a warning appeared first on Spurs Web.
