With a series of 3 losses, Spurs will have to face a difficult away trip to St James' Park to Newcastle. Then there is the home match against Brentford - the former team of coach Thomas Frank.
There is currently no sign that this will be a series of matches that will decide Frank's fate. However, a home defeat to Brentford could turn a disaster for him personally.
At a time when the relationship between fans and players had become cracked, Frank could hardly endure another defeat at home.
Before the defeat in the North London derby, Tottenham's away form was really impressive, including the victory over Man City and the destructive matches against Everton and West Ham. However, the feeling of failure at home was still intact and left them negative.
Although fans are willing to go everywhere to cheer, as they will at Newcastle, Tottenham have only won at home in this season's tournament, against Burnley in the opening round. This made the Tottenham Hotspur experience extremely bad.
Frank seems to be gradually realizing that media attention is a completely different challenge in his new role. A defeat to Brentford may not be too noisy, but any of his statements in the press room immediately become a focus at Spurs.
He realized this when he said that the people who shouted at goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his mistake in the 1-2 loss to Fulham "are not real Tottenham fans". However, this intervention effort was not as effective as expected.
Frank only expressed his frustration with the crying in the match, a point of view that he felt had been overlooked, and appreciated the fans for not reacting excessively in difficult times.
Like Frank, the "Roosters" have no problem when fans express their opinions at half-time or throughout the match. However, there was still a sense of disappointment in Vicario's reaction to his mistake, leading to Harry Wilson's goal.
Spurs players have dealt with this problem following last month's derby defeat to Chelsea at home through a post-match press conference. Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence running off the pitch instead of thanking the fans became the focus of attention that weekend. Since then, the players have returned to the dressing room together to show solidarity.
At the moment, everyone at Spurs is eager to maintain solidarity and make efforts to solve internal difficulties. Vinai Venkatesham, the club's new CEO, was once famous for his ability to connect the team with fans while working at Arsenal, where he helped The Gunners overcome similar challenges.
In the end, Tottenham fans just want to see the determination and enthusiasm from the team, because at this time, the season is at risk of becoming boring.
The situation is even more worrying as opponents above the rankings seem to be pushing strongly, increasing the pressure on Spurs for the rest of the season.
