Story summary
Tottenham Hotspur legend Chris Waddle believes that despite their poor start under manager Roberto De Zerbi, Spurs can still secure a Europa League spot this season. The club spent over £300 million in the summer but currently struggles with only one win from six games. With supporters becoming restless, Waddle asserts that crucial upcoming matches against Coventry and Crystal Palace must be won to boost their chances of European qualification. De Zerbi, who helped Spurs avoid relegation last season, retains support within the club despite recent disappointments. Waddle remains optimistic, stating there is no reason why Tottenham cannot embark on a winning streak and secure a top-six finish.
