Big-spending Spurs must make better attacking decisions, says De Zerbi
NOTTINGHAM: Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi said that his side must make better decisions in the final third after failling to score for a third consecutive Premier League game in Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has called for his side to make better attacking decisions after their 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest. Despite spending over £300 million ($406 million) on new signings, the team has shown little improvement since last season, which saw them narrowly avoid relegation. De Zerbi's team managed to secure their first point of the campaign following defeats to Brentford and Newcastle, but they still lacked conviction in front of goal.
The Italian manager believes the team needs to improve their decision-making in the final third, remaining calm when close to scoring. De Zerbi is hopeful that the closing stages of the transfer window will provide some clarity for his players, and he will have ample time to work on training with no European football this season.
While the team acknowledges their disappointment at not winning, De Zerbi maintains that this is the appropriate mindset to progress at this stage. Forest's Oliver Glasner, who has yet to secure a victory since taking charge, accused the officials of "guessing" whether Neco Williams handled the ball before the goal was disallowed.
Glasner argued that the VAR intervention was "wrong" due to the threshold for its use being too low.
