Alarming statistics
Tottenham has been unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League games (5 draws, 8 losses), equaling the club's second long winless streak (13 games in November 1912). The record of 16 winless games since 1935 could be completely broken.
Teams competing for relegation often rely on home fields, but Tottenham Hotspur is becoming a "death zone". Coach Igor Tudor's team has the worst home record in the league, winning only 2/16 matches. The defeat to Forest is also the fourth consecutive home defeat, extending the 8-match winless streak here.
This is the third time in Premier League history that Spurs have lost by a margin of 3 goals or more at home to a team ranked 17th or lower. That is a statistic that makes fans even more disappointed.
Spurs are currently ranked 17th, have not won any matches in the Premier League in 2026 and have only won 2/22 recent matches.
After 31 rounds, Tottenham has only won 30 points - their worst record in this period, equal to the 1914-1915 season.
Vicario continues to become the focus of criticism
Guglielmo Vicario continues to be booed by home fans. This is not the first time this season he has faced negative reactions from the stands.
The Italian goalkeeper will have a hernia surgery next week, raising questions about using him in the recent match. However, the replacement choice Antonin Kinsky also does not bring peace of mind.
Whether the injury affects him or not, Vicario should have done better in the second goal conceded, when Morgan Gibbs-White's shot went straight through him.
After the holiday, Spurs will be guests at Sunderland's stadium, and the goalkeeper position is still a big question mark.
Van de Ven's replacement causes controversy
The withdrawal of Micky van de Ven from the field after the first half surprised many people. The Dutch defender played on the left instead of the familiar center-back, but when the team was being led, his experience should have been kept.
Assistant coach Bruno Saltor affirmed that this was a tactical decision to strengthen attacking ability. However, this option was not effective.
Spurs completely lost the game in the second half. Djed Spence was also substituted, Lucas Bergvall had to play on the wing in an unfamiliar role.
In the second half, we lost confidence, lost the ball and conceded another silly goal" - Cristian Romero admitted.
Spurs face 7 "final" relegation matches
Captain Romero calls the rest of the season 7 finals. After 3 weeks of break, Spurs will be guests at Sunderland's stadium on April 12 - a challenge that is not easy when the opponent is in high form.
The next key matches will be the away match against Wolves (April 25) and the match against Leeds at home (May 9).
If they cannot be safe afterwards, Spurs will face two extreme challenges: playing away at Chelsea's stadium and hosting Everton in the final round - a team also competing for a European cup spot.
The last two months of the season promise to be tense, as Spurs' position in the Premier League is being seriously threatened more than ever.
