Tottenham staying up, their spirits up, but this has to be a wake-up call. Micky van de Ven immense last few minutes, intercepting then clearing. Spurs fans superb, willing their players towards safety. Plenty right about Spurs: support, stadium, training ground and they now have a heavyweight head coach in Roberto De Zerbi who can organise and motivate, who has the respect of players and supporters.
But Spurs need an in-depth review this summer into the many issues and ensure they never get into such a predicament again. Have to improve recruitment, get in more leaders, sell Romero and appoint a more committed captain. Get in a more reliable finisher, communicate better with fans, examine the chronic injury list. But they’ve survived and can celebrate. And reflect.
