Tottenham news: Opinion – Nizaar Kinsella on 2025 needs

Tottenham supporters want one simple thing – to win a major trophy.

The problem is that they now feel further away than ever, given a drastic downturn in results across December, a month where they have suffered a lot of injuries.

The next few games could be pivotal in keeping the season alive under an increasingly under-fire manager Ange Postecgolou.

A match at home to Newcastle is followed by the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool over the coming days.

The Europa League also resumes this month with Spurs looking to avoid the play-off round and qualify for the knockout stages.

Any win would give the Australian manager time and the external support that he needs.

And, by stabilising results, it would convince the club to dip into the transfer market – where Spurs are expected to be active – and back him.

However, a backdrop of one win in seven matches makes signing players more difficult. The dip in form has coincided with around 10 players being ill, injured or suspended for the past three matchday squads.

Alongside frustrations on the pitch, chairman Daniel Levy is also facing criticism from some sections of the fan base.

Only positive short-term results will ease the pressure and keep the Levy-Postecoglou partnership running.

However, the fact Tottenham have not won a trophy since 2008 still looms over this club and only glory will truly satisfy supporters, who are growing more and more frustrated.
