What happened. Tottenham drew 0-0 at home with Everton, leaving them without a Premier League win or goal this season. They sit 17th with two points and were booed off by frustrated fans.
- Spurs have now gone four league games without scoring.
- De Zerbi cited injuries from the pre-season tour and the World Cup.
- He also noted late signings Sávio and Omar Marmoush.
“It is a mental block because four games, no wins, no goals scored … it is tough for the players”
— Roberto De Zerbi
De Zerbi must find a way to unblock his squad before the pressure mounts further.
