Robbie Mustoe and Tim Howard for CBS Sports were watching Tottenham eventually take all three points from Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, and the pair have pointed out that which many fans might be thinking but don’t want to say out loud.
The first half was tough viewing for Tottenham fans. Wolves were easy on the eye, but they failed to create much that really rattled Hugo Lloris.
The CBS pair were discussing the game, the language was hardly upbeat. A Mail Online piece published on the back of their show is hardly packed with quotes Daniel Levy will be in a hurry to use in his marketing.
‘Boring’ and ‘super defensive’ are not what fans are after, nor is watching any side ‘grind out’ results. Indeed, these are characteristics that lost both Andre Villas-Boas and José Mourinho support from within the club’s fanbase.
We’re only a handful of games in, but Tottenham have been frequently unwatchable so far, if we’re honest with ourselves.
