Football pundit Gary Neville has shared his predictions for the upcoming Premier League campaign, and admits he is not sure what kind of team Tottenham are going to be as he pins them for an eighth-placed finish.
The 2022/23 season was a dire showing for Spurs. The Lilywhites were defensively vulnerable all year despite playing highly conservative football under Antonio Conte.
Tottenham could only manage an eighth-placed finish by the end of the campaign, missing out on European football for the first time in over a decade.
The club also parted ways with Antonio Conte, before dismissing his temporary replacement, Cristian Stellini and installing Ryan Mason as caretaker until the end of the season.
Now, a brighter dawn shines over the North London club, with new boss Ange Postecoglou promising a return to attacking football. With impressive additions to the squad, there is renewed optimism that Spurs could turn over a new leaf this season.
Gary Neville has Spurs to finish eighth this season
With the new campaign set to begin this weekend, pundits are sharing their Premier League predictions, and Gary Neville doesn’t quite know what to make of this new-look Tottenham side.
On The Overlap podcast, Neville revealed his picks for the top eight in the league this season: “Just because of the three thing and [teams] never winning a fourth [consecutive title] I am going to go Arsenal to win the league, City second. I think Arsenal can beat them.
“I think Arsenal, City, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham. I think Newcastle and Tottenham, I think Newcastle Champions League and Tottenham, I’m not quite sure what is going on there.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham are arguably the hardest team to read among the top ten in the Premier League this season. We have shown early promise under Postecoglou’s new ways, but it’s difficult to know how quickly the team will be able to implement his wishes in competitive games, and without Harry Kane.
An eighth-placed finish in this transitional year would not be a bad result at all.
