Where Will Spurs Finish? A Coach's Honest Verdict | A Coach's View

Premier League football is back in a week so where do Spurs really rank? Professional A-licence coach JJ (@THeFullCo) joins Jim to audit Roberto De Zerbi's tactical evolution through preseason, go position by position through the squad, and put a pin in a final league prediction for 2026/27.

We cover what preseason actually revealed about De Zerbi's system (the buy-in, the rotations, the counterattack problem), whether it beats last season's setup, the goalkeeper call on Kinsky, Robertson and the left-back picture, the Tonali–Fernandes pivot, Archie Gray's preseason, the striker question around Solanke and Richarlison, and how Gakpo and Savinho arriving would move Spurs from a fifth-to-eighth team into genuine Champions League contention. Plus breakout watch: Mikey Moore off the right and Luka Williams-Barnett's standout preseason.
