With all the will in the world, Tottenham again failed by the smallest of margins to overcome our nearest rivals. It seems bad luck follows Tottenham around season after season, perhaps we can balance the ledger when it comes to luck next season.
Tottenham have improved from last season as far as points are concerned, even after selling our two biggest drawcards from last season in Modric and Van de Vaart. The trouble of course is that Chelsea were able to spend silly money and leapfrog ourselves and Arsenal.
As I have mentiuoned in previous articles our failure to overcome the Premier league strugglers has been our downfall this season like most seasons. Our biggest wins this season against Manhcester United, Manchester City and Arsenal were followed up by dissapointing results, this is a trend which has to stop. We treat these games with more importance than those against Wigan, Fulham or Queens Park Rangers. But at the end of the day, aside from bragging rights, they are only worth three points and have the same worth as a win against Sunderland, Stoke or Southampton.
Tottenham have failed to break down sides at White Hart Lane this season, that is down to a lack of an attacking alternative (to Bale) and also a failure for our defence to release the ball quickly enough to counter attack.
First priority this summer must be to tie down Bale to a new contract but also to bring in two ro three players who will make a difference to our attacking third.
All in all I believe we have made prgress this season and sure our target must be to compete at the top next season.
As always, come on you Spurs!
