Spurs have been poor for the last 2 or 3 seasons, if not obviously so from our league finishing positions (although they have been getting worse), then certainly in our tired, uninspired, predictable, boring, and above all largely ineffective, ultra negative style of play. The rot began under Poch when other teams got wise to his playing style (and he was either unwilling or incapable of making the team play differently), and sod all changed under Mourinho. Most of the squad certainly seem incapable of playing any other way, so perhaps they are the problem. As soon as they receive the ball, most players' first thought is to pass it sideways or backwards. Very few players (mainly Kane, Moura and Son) are regularly more positive. And that negative playing style obviously limits scoring chances, meaning they need to take the few they do create. And of course, it also requires that they have a rock solid defence... ha ha! Our defence has been woeful, our midfield pretty poor for the most part (Hojbjerg is an exception), and it's only been our strikers that have saved us from a far more embarrassing season.
I don't want Kane to leave, but I can understand why he probably wants to. Levy needs to seriously bolster the squad, selling off deadwood like Aurier and Reguilon (who started the season brightly, but can't pass the ball to save his life), and appoint a manager that will inspire and or whip the players into shape, and instill a bit of passion and desire into them.
