Watching Tottenham against Everton yesterday, it was obvious what Tottenham's problems are.
They do not have sufficient goal-scoring threat.
They have only scored nine goals in ten games, yet still sit fourth in the table. Their defensive record (5 conceded) is second only to the unlikely Southampton in the division.
But as long as Tottenham can't score, they will not represent a long-term threat to the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Yesterday's first half was completely dominated by Spurs at Goodison Park, but Everton held them at bay, and the second half was much more in Everton's favour.
If Andre Villas-Boas cannot find a combination with his current players, then he will be very keen to delve into the transfer market come January's window.
And yet Spurs are reported to be happy to let Jermain Defoe go. Defoe may never have quite reached the heights that his earlier potential promised, but surely he's worth a run in the Spurs line-up.
They need goals.
