De Zerbi warned he risks ‘negative spiral’ at Spurs after winless start

Gary Neville has cautioned Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's manager, about the potential for a 'negative spiral' following the club's two consecutive Premier League defeats. Tottenham's season started poorly, with losses to Brentford and Newcastle United, and they have not managed to score in their first two league games since 1979.

Newcastle beat Tottenham 3-0, thanks to goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa. Despite a record-breaking summer transfer window, which saw three players sign for fees exceeding £85m, Spurs' recent results have been disappointing. Sky Sports commentator Neville urged De Zerbi to address the issues promptly, as Tottenham could be encouraging other teams with their poor performances.

He emphasized that while it's premature to criticize the team, there are questions that need to be asked about the players' integration and lack of improvement. Neville stressed that Tottenham must rectify the situation quickly to prevent their struggles from emboldening opposing teams.
