Midfielder needs to be axed: Three things we learned in Tottenham’s draw against Swansea
Tottenham lack a cutting edge
Despite having the attacking threat of Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min on the pitch at the same time, it would be fair to say that Tottenham looked toothless at times.
While Eriksen was consistent with the quality of his deliveries from open play and set pieces, the same cannot be said about the finishing of his team mates.
Alli, while he looked positive with the ball at his feet, failed to get into the same dangerous positions we as fans are so used to seeing him in, in what proved to be a real off-day for the youngster.
Son meanwhile, although labelled as a left wing back, was often the most advanced player in the Swansea box, although again failed to demonstrate the fine attacking flair we have become accustomed to seeing.
Kane perhaps was the most unlucky out of the quartet, losing out in the battle with Swansea goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski, who pulled off a series of quality saves to deny the in-form England hitman.
However, that is no excuse for coming away with just a point when they dominated possession, and it will be a case of heading back to the training ground to work on the team’s attacking cohesion.
