Tottenham is going through a serious crisis in the Premier League when they continue to be unable to regain the feeling of victory.
The 2-2 breathtaking draw against Burnley has extended Spurs' winning streak in the league since the beginning of 2026 to 5 consecutive matches. More alarmingly, they have only had one win in the last 8 rounds of the Premier League.
During that period of decline, Tottenham lost to two of the four teams in the bottom group, West Ham and Nottingham Forest. They also had to rely on an equalizer in the 90th minute to avoid defeat at home against Wolves in September - the match that brought the first point for the "Wolfs" this season.
Against Burnley, the familiar scenario continued to repeat itself. Spurs once again needed an equalizer in the 90th minute to escape defeat against the team standing near the bottom, the team that almost ended the 13-match winning streak in the tournament.
First of all, I want to thank them for coming to cheer and support the team throughout the match. I am sure they can recognize and admit, especially in the first half, progress is there.
We should have been able and should have taken the lead with a bigger gap. They should also recognize the will and bravery of the whole team, who always strive and fight to the end. We just need to keep trying. We do a lot of right things but it cannot be denied that the decline in achievement is not easy for us" - Frank said after the match.
Constantly dropping points against weaker opponents not only makes Tottenham's form plummet, but also creates increasing pressure on coach Thomas Frank. From being expected to stabilize the team, the Danish strategist is now facing the risk of being drawn into the relegation battle.
Last season, Spurs finished in 17th place but have never really faced danger due to focusing all their strength on the Europa League. However, this season's scenario is completely different. After this weekend's round, their gap with the relegation group is only 8 points, in the context that West Ham is strongly reviving with 2 consecutive victories.
A survey by the British media shows that 65% of fans believe that Tottenham is really fighting to stay in the Premier League. These concerns are increasing as Spurs face the most stressful schedule in the league in February.
In the next 4 rounds, they will successively face Manchester City (home), Manchester United (away), Newcastle (home) and Arsenal (home).
With their current form, it is difficult to see where Tottenham's next victory will come from. And when the booing once again echoed from the Turf Moor stands, Spurs' "indignant winter" seems to be still very long.
Tottenham's board of directors is said to want to persuade Xabi Alonso to rescue the team this month. The "roosters" want to urgently reach an agreement, due to concerns about interest from other teams from the Spanish strategist if left until the summer.
Besides Alonso, Tottenham is considering other options, with Xavi Hernandez also a prominent name in the candidate list. However, convincing both Alonso and Xavi will not be easy for Tottenham, as these two captains tend to wait for bigger teams in the summer.
