Tottenham have set an unwanted club record, failing to score in four consecutive league matches. Despite investing over 400 million euros during the summer transfer window, the team's attacking output has stalled, highlighted by a goalless draw against Everton this past weekend.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi has urged for perspective, pointing to the team's defensive improvement. Following a second consecutive clean sheet, including last week's draw with Nottingham Forest, the Italian coach reflected on how different football cultures perceive such results.

De Zerbi also referenced the difficult state of the club when he arrived last season. He maintained that he remains realistic about the current situation, despite the lack of goals, and praised the squad for playing as a cohesive unit.
