Tottenham Hotspur are adrift.
In truth they have been blindly drifting for weeks, if not months. Their appalling league form has been dismissed by too many people as a sideshow, an irrelevance, an inevitability given their injury crisis.
Everyone was happy to suspend judgement. Wait until the players get back from injury. Wait until the cup games. Wait until the resumption of European football.
But the problem with investing everything in the future, or rather a fantasy of the future, is that you take your eyes off what is happening in front of you. And if you do that, you drift from league defeat to league defeat, from the European spots to mid-table to potential disaster, never confronting the reality of the situation.
That has been the story of Tottenham’s league campaign, their worst for a generation. They are — and this really has to be repeated until it sinks in — 15th in the Premier League table. They are only four points ahead of Sunday’s opponents Everton, who have a game in hand. They have lost more than half of their league games.
We could do this all day, listing all the different ways in which this season is a disaster, a catastrophe, without modern precedent. But all that can wait until May. Right now Tottenham just need to save their season.
