5 pros, 3 cons from Tottenham's 2023-2024 season

Con 2 - End of season form
The five defeats in seven to end the season, with the only two wins being against two relegated teams was not Spurs' only blip of the season, but it is the one with the least excuse.
Spurs weren't missing Romero, Van De Ven or Maddison for this stretch of games. They were no longer only 3 months into the new manager's reign. There was no hiding this time.
The 4-0 defeat to Newcastle was downright embarrassing, and with all context applied surely the worst performance of the season. This was followed by a painful defeat to Arsenal and to London rivals Chelsea. The 4-2 defeat at Anfield sounds slightly better than it was, but Spurs didn't start playing until they were 4-0 down. A 2-0 defeat to City was sandwiched in-between bare minimum wins over Burnley and Sheffield United. If Spurs had got 4 points from those defeats, they could have well been looking at Champions League football next season
