Tottenham Hotspur have experienced a difficult start to the Premier League season, failing to secure a win or score a goal in their opening three matches. Their latest outing ended in a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, marking the first time in over four years that Spurs did not register a shot on target in a league game. This disappointing performance has left the team searching for their first victory as they prepare to host Everton.

The club's summer spending reached £332 million, leading to the arrival of ten new players. However, the new-look squad has struggled to find cohesion, resulting in the worst start to a league season for Spurs since 2008. The team will aim to break this streak against Everton, with many fans expressing their concerns over the lack of attacking threat and creativity on the pitch.

Despite the challenging start, some analysts believe it is too early to panic. Tottenham's reporter noted that the influx of new players requires time to gel, and the absence of key creative players due to injuries has further hampered their attacking options. The team has made several changes to their starting line-up, which has contributed to their inconsistency in performance.

Statistically, Tottenham's struggles are evident, as they rank low for expected goals and have been outrun in every match this season. The team has faced criticism for their lack of quality chances created, and many fans are calling for patience as the new squad adapts to the manager's tactics. The upcoming match against Everton will be crucial for Spurs to regain confidence and find their scoring touch.
