Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker feels that Tottenham Hotspur do not have an alternative plan and other teams have decrypted their style of play.

 

Spurs have made a difficult start to their Premier League campaign as they have rescued only four points from their four opening matches and suffered a crushing defeat against arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday.

 

Ange Postecoglou and his coaching team are under massive pressure early on in the campaign, but Reo-Coker stressed that he was impressed with Postecoglou’s style of play last season.

 

 

The former Aston Villa and West Ham midfielder feels that even though Spurs play an attractive brand of football they do not have other approaches to adapt to situations.

 

He also labelled them as completely lacking in balance.

 

“Last season I was massively impressed and thought we could see a change happening there. But Tottenham completely lack balance”, Reo-Coker said on BBC Radio 5 live about the north London side.

 

 

“Yes, their football is entertaining but there is no plan B.”

 

The 40-year-old believes that other teams have worked out Tottenham’s playing style, but Spurs are still insisting on their brand of football.

 

 

“Teams have worked them out, yet they still continue to play the same way with the same style.”

 

Postecoglou’s side will be taking on Coventry City on Wednesday in the EFL Cup and they are back in the league against Brentford on Saturday.

 

They will look to get back to winning ways after suffering back-to-back losses against Newcastle United and Arsenal.
