Spurs have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous this season. Can they – should they – hold their nerve and go all in on Angeball this summer?Spurs find themselves, as they so frequently do, at a summer crossroads with Big Decisions to be made.

There is an element of bad luck to this. They have had a tough run of games, with Arsenal at home among trips to Newcastle, Chelsea and Liverpool. Individually, defeat in any of those games would be no cause for panic. But to lose all four, and so often in such breathtakingly naïve, guileless fashion, inevitably raises doubts about the sustainability of everything they’re trying to achieve under Ange Postecoglou.

Part of that, one imagines, is the way they are expected and required to play the game. We’ve seen plenty of recent evidence that Ange isn’t f***ing about when he says results don’t matter to him as much as the method. The first and most obvious thing that Spurs must do – whatever else they set out to achieve this summer – is get someone in to sort out the defending from set-pieces. It’s not entirely clear whose job it is currently, part of the problem in itself, but the second half of this season has been a clusterf*ck.

What Spurs did do last summer and to a lesser extent in January is make a promising start on all this. They and Postecoglou clearly have a good idea of what they want and who they need, because not many players who have come in have looked a bad fit.
