Tottenham Hotspur have put themselves at a crisis point after Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea. Though the margin of the defeat doesn't look too bad on paper, any Spurs supporter who witnessed the carnage before them against one of their greatest rivals had to come away highly concerned with the performance from Thomas Frank's men.
Now heading into the toughest part of their schedule, Tottenham are about to show their fans what they are made of, and, so far, it doesn't look good for Spurs. The team is overly reliant on a few players, and you almost shudder to think what Spurs would look like this season without the signing of Mohammed Kudus, who has been the clear standout of a woeful attack that looks exactly like the attack of a team that finished in the table last season.
On Tuesday night, Tottenham will be back at it again with a Champions League date against one of the competition's easiest opponents in Copenhagen, and nothing less than a professional display will be expected, especially from this sagging attack.
And now, there will be no excuses for this unit. Thomas Frank confirmed to reporters ahead of the Champions League tilt, via The Spurs Express, that the injury concerns regarding star winger Mohammed Kudus can be put to the side. Kudus is merely suffering from a knock and could be able to play against Copenhagen.
Mohammed Kudus is all Tottenham have
With Dejan Kulusevski still injured for at least several more weeks after a knee injury to close the 2024/25 campaign, Kudus is all Tottenham have at the right wing position. And they don't really have much on the left wing.
Well, technically, Tottenham do have another option on the right wing in Brennan Johnson, but time and time again, the Welshman has shown that he isn't a valid option on the wing, beyond a timely poached goal that falsely inflates his reputation for a few weeks before the amnesiacs in the Tottenham fanbase snap out of their slumber and remember that he painfully stinks on that right flank.
Tottenham having Kudus on the pitch against Copenhagen will be a huge relief, but it also means that the rest of his teammates have to step up. They know Kudus will put in the work and create chances, but someone in the attacking midfield needs to help him and absolutely someone at striker needs to finally step up and score them.
