Igor Tudor's tenure at Tottenham began with a harsh lesson in English football, marked by a 4-1 defeat to arch-rivals Arsenal in the North London derby. The loss left Tottenham fans visibly frustrated, leading to boos at the final whistle, reflecting their discontent with the team's performance. This defeat has sparked serious concerns about Tottenham's fate this season, rekindling the debate on whether they are indeed 'too good to go down'—a notion that now seems increasingly questionable given their current form.

Despite the expectation that a managerial change might spark a revival, Tudor's new tactics seemed ineffective against Arsenal’s aggressive playstyle, exposing Tottenham’s vulnerabilities on the pitch. Introducing a high press and a five-at-the-back formation, Tudor aimed to energize the squad but ended up seeing his team struggle immensely, raising alarm bells about their chances of avoiding relegation. The club's decision to part ways with Thomas Frank signaled the desperation for a turnaround, but the reality is that urgent action is needed to avert a crisis.

With injuries affecting key players and an alarming lack of consistency in performance, the pressure is mounting on Tudor and the team. The loss to Arsenal not only puts immediate pressure on their league standing but also raises questions about the squad's morale and ability to fight against relegation. As the season progresses, every match will become increasingly significant for Tottenham, underscoring the importance of resilience and tactical adjustments to secure their place in the league for the upcoming seasons.
