Tottenham Hotspur are already 13 points behind current Premier League leaders Liverpool in the table.
Tottenham Hotspur fans were left stunned on Twitter after Harry Redknapp recently claimed that Spurs have a squad that can match Liverpool and Manchester City’s.
Both Liverpool and Manchester City have been dominant in England’s top-flight for the last two seasons, with the argument that Spurs have been the third-best team during that time, but they are beginning to decline.
Nonetheless, with all this heat surrounding Mauricio Pochettino, Redknapp claimed that the club won’t sack the Argentine, and that Spurs’ squad is as good as Liverpool’s and Manchester City’s, as quoted by The Daily Mail.
It is the last claim by Redknapp that has left Spurs fans pretty shocked and baffled because they don’t think they can match Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola’s side.
Before a ball was kicked this season, many backed both duo to finish in the top-two, whatever the order, and it seems as though that they are living up to that billing so far.
But given Tottenham’s inconsistencies during these past few seasons and their abject performances and results this season, it is fair to say that the Spurs faithful disagreed with Redknapp’s comments.
Whilst it could be argued that Spurs’ strongest starting XI could match many teams in Europe, they have seemingly lost that tag also because of what has happened, both on and off the pitch this season.
At this moment in time, Pochettino’s side are five points behind City in the table, who were beaten by Wolves last time out, but they are a further 13 points behind the current leaders.
