Gareth Bale has backed Tottenham’s form to improve this season but has urged supporters to lower their expectations when it comes to their final league position.After an unbeaten pre‑season in the summer, Tottenham Hotspur have not had a start to the 26/27 campaign that mirrors their pre‑season form.Spurs have managed just one win all season, and it came in round two of the Carabao Cup, when they beat Championship side Charlton Athletic 5-1.In the Premier League, Tottenham’s start has been abysmal, with the Lilywhites yet to win a game or score a goal.

Sometimes it takes time to settle in. The manager has shown he is capable of playing good football. I think he still has the trust of everybody.“Just a lot of new signings, it takes a bit of time. I am sure they will come good, just give them a bit of time.”"The manager still has the trust of everybody" 🗣️Gareth Bale on Spurs' difficult start to the season ⚪️ pic.twitter.com/RwN3RZdsit— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) September 16, 2026 Bale urges Tottenham fans to lower expectationsBefore the season started, many pundits tipped Tottenham to finish in the European places.However, after four games, Spurs find themselves hovering above the relegation zone in 17th, having managed two points from a possible 12.The gap between the Lilywhites and the European spots is increasing, as they look set to be engulfed in another relegation dogfight.Bale, when asked about Tottenham’s chances of finishing in a European spot, urged fans to lower their expectations.He said: “Hopefully. I think the expectations probably need to be lowered a little bit considering that we finished 17th twice in a row, so I think an improvement obviously was needed, and they have got the players to do that. So, yeah, let us hope they gel soon and get going.”READ MORE: Tottenham rub salt in West Ham wounds by poaching second highly-rated starletThe post Gareth Bale makes positive prediction for Tottenham’s season after four goalless games appeared first on Spurs Web.
