Tottenham are a hard watch and Nuno’s tactics do them no favours | Karen Carney

Slow tempo is hindering Tottenham’s attacking thrust and a change is needed to get the best from Harry Kane

There are no two ways about it, I found it hard watching Tottenham at West Ham on Sunday. They have scored nine goals in as many Premier League games and their defeat in east London tells us why.

Tottenham’s tempo is slow and although it may allow them to control play it hinders their ability to attack. Despite having more than 60% possession against West Ham, Spurs managed four shots on target – without troubling Lukasz Fabianski – because they are not using the ball quickly enough to create chances.
