Three games into the brand new championship chase in the top tier flight of English football this year and we have Tottenham Hotspur still scrambling for their first win of the season after kicking off their Premiership title bid with a 1-nil loss to Manchester United, followed by a couple of disappointing draws that they should’ve won had they managed to keep it together instead of letting their opponents steal those two wins away from them like a thief in the night. As it stands right now, the Spurs are sitting on the bottom half of the league standings with a winless mark that any English squad of their calibre should have no business having. They will return home to White Hart Lane this August 30 to play hosts to Everton FC, a team that has been having a not-too-shabby start coming out of the gates with a tolerable tally of a win, a loss, and a draw. Sure, the Toffees are not doing anything special just yet but considering the way that the Spurs have been struggling as of late, this Everton outfit is definitely doing a whole lot better.
Everton, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *3.75 to beat Tottenham Hotspur, will make the trip to North London. The Spurs, in spite of their recent troubles, are still one of those clubs that are held to a high regard by their competitors and to see them struggle this early into the football year is a sorry sight, to say the least. Be that as it may, Tottenham can’t expect their rivals to start taking it easy on them just because they forgot to bring their in-season form for the 2015-16 English Premier League campaign. And when these Spurs take their home turf again versus Everton, you can bet that the Toffees will be looking to take advantage of Tottenham’s uninspired disposition on game day.
In all fairness to the Spurs, they did not look all that bad. You see, in their last two outings against Stoke City and Leicester City, Tottenham did manage to put up a decent effort, so much so that they even came close to winning both contests, if they just held on to their advantage for a few more minutes to come away with the victory on both occasions. Unfortunately, as it turns out, things didn’t go the way that the Spurs would’ve hoped them to be as they let their counterparts put together a comeback of sorts at their expense, twice, to send Tottenham football fans disappointed and confused.
Listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *1.94 to beat Everton, Tottenham Hotspur return to White Hart Lane hoping to have a better outing on home soil after failing to eke out a win in their first fixture on their own turf from the last time that they were in London this Premiership season against Stoke City. With the Spurs in front 2-0 heading to the final 12 minutes of that match-up, it sure looked like Tottenham will be kicking off their latest home stand on the right track in front of their home supporters. Unfortunately for these guys, Stoke City picked up two late goals in a matter of six minutes to tie the game, spoiling the Spurs’ homecoming in the process.
To make matters worse, Tottenham Hotspur let it happen to them again in the next match-up that ensued – this time against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. This one was a tightly-contested affair with neither English Premier League side able to take any advantage, that is at least until the Spurs got the go-ahead goal in the 81st minute of the face-off to earn a 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, Tottenham got careless yet again for the second game in a row, allowing Leicester to equalise a minute later, and in spite of all that hard work, we have this North London outfit still without a win to show for.
The draw to Leicester City was the second straight week that Tottenham failed to maintain the lead that they were able to come up with in a Premier League contest, and understandably, head coach Mauricio Pochettino wasn’t happy about it considering how they’ve been faring in their first few match-ups in the current campaign for the Premiership trophy.
”I am angry and disappointed, not frustrated,” Pochettino said after their 1-1 draw with Leicester City. ”The mistake (of conceding after scoring) we made today is difficult to explain.”
”I am disappointed with the draw. Last game against Stoke we lost a 2-0 lead and we did it again. We deserved more again but it is a shame,” Tottenham’s Argentine signal-caller confessed. ”We need to work hard to be more focused and more aggressive after we score because this is the second game we concede the draw when we deserve more.”
