Spurs find themselves languishing in 15th place in the Premier League table after Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat by struggling Leicester, their fourth loss in succession and sixth in seven league games. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, former Manchester City defender Richards said: “There must be something wrong, because if you look at Nuno Espirito Santo who was at Tottenham, now at Forest, of course, what Conte is doing at Napoli… Okay, Mourinho, yes, you expect him to do that. It must be something deep-rooted in what they’re trying to do?” Conte’s Napoli are currently three points clear of Inter Milan at the top of Serie A having played a game more, while Espirito Santo is presiding over a remarkable campaign with Nottingham Forest, who remain third in the Premier League, and Fenerbahce sit second in the Turkish Super Lig under Mourinho. It's very difficult to know what's going on behind the scenes because people go from there and end up doing well Micah Richards Alan Shearer said: “When you look at Pochettino as well, he needed to be backed at that particular time when he could have taken them to the next level, I think, and they didn’t.
