£300m spent... and still no goals! De Zerbi admits Spurs must improve after Forest stalemate

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi admitted to the need for improvement in his team's decision-making in the final third following their 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest. Despite the club's significant investment of over £300 million on new signings, there has been a lack of noticeable progress, particularly in attack. De Zerbi's side managed to end a run of three consecutive Premier League games without scoring by securing a point in their clash with Forest.

However, the Italian manager believes the team still lacks confidence when in a strong attacking position. De Zerbi is hopeful that the transfer window's closing stages will bring some clarity to his squad, and he looks forward to further development with no European fixtures this season. The manager emphasized the necessity of moving forward, stating that their recent work together to build the team organization is insufficient to warrant their lack of success.

Forest's Oliver Glasner, who is still searching for his first victory as a manager, criticized the officials for what he perceived as a mistaken application of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system during the match. Glasner was dissatisfied with the decision that deemed Neco Williams handling the ball as a handball, which should have resulted in a penalty, though the officials ruled it otherwise.
