Sunday match against Everton na di biggest game for Tottenham recent history. Di club dey fight for survival, with Premier League status on di line. Only one scenario fit send Spurs go Championship: if dem lose to Everton and West Ham beat Leeds.
Dis season don be disaster for Tottenham. One year ago dem dey celebrate Europa League glory with 220,000 fans, but now dem dey face relegation. Ange Postecoglou lose im job after 17th place finish, and Thomas Frank wey replace am no fit di club. Some players like am, but oda no take to di Dane.
Injury crisis don make matter worse. Key players like Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, and Mohammed Kudus don sideline. Di summer loss of club legend Heung-Min Son also hit dem hard. Losing don become expectation for dis group.
Di January transfer window na big regret. Only Conor Gallagher come in, and dem no replace Brennan Johnson wey sell to Crystal Palace for £35m. Igor Tudor appointment also backfire; im tell players dem no good enough, and im only last seven games.
Roberto De Zerbi don make impact since im take over. If im come earlier, Spurs for dey 12th or 13th. But controversial VAR calls no help; Spurs no win any penalty dis season. Still, officiating na small factor for dia plight.
Spurs dey 17th, need point to guarantee safety. James Maddison fit be hero; im don make impact off bench after return from ACL injury. But im fit only give limited minutes. Dominic Solanke don recover from hamstring injury and dey available. Djed Spence also fit play after facial injury.
Whatever di result, fans go dey angry. Di club wey be ninth richest for world suppose no dey fight relegation. But here dem dey, facing biggest game for recent history.
