Believe it or not, things were probably even worse than they are now. We'd just come off this run of results:
West Brom 1-1 Tottenham
Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Tottenham
Bournemouth 0-0 Tottenham
Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham
Tottenham 1-1 Leicester
Tottenham 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham
Tottenham 3-2 West Ham (with two injury time goals)
Monaco 2-1 Tottenham
Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
We were only slightly better than relegation form in the league, out of the top 4 and didn't really look like getting back in it, let alone challenging for the title. We were out of the League Cup and out of the Champions League heading into what was effectively a depressing Europa League qualifier at Wembley against Moscow. We'd won once in ten games with a lot of luck involved in that win, and it'd been two months since we'd managed more than a single goal in 90 minutes.
Things can and will get better. It's a poor spell, not the end of a very good team. So keep behind them, especially anyone lucky enough to be going to Watford on Sunday.
Our next game after that 10 last year? We suddenly beat Swansea 5-0 and didn't look back. Perspective.
