The former Reading and Portsmouth player has pointed out the problems Tottenham suffered towards the end of last season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were in the Premier League title race until the final weeks of the 2015-16 campaign.
“If you include the draw with West Brom last week, that’s two opportunities now that Spurs have missed, where had they won, they will go top of the table,” Hislop told ESPN.
“When you think back to last season and their capitulation to the end of last season, you just wonder if psychologically how tough is this Spurs team.”
Tottenham’s recent results and performances have been disappointing, but on the positive, it is quite early in the season.
Spurs are very much in the Premier League title race and can still progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.
