Chris Waddle: Tottenham need to improve their attack, and Marmoush is struggling to find his position

Former Tottenham winger and pundit Chris Waddle believes the team are not scoring enough despite their good attacking movement, and that Mohammed Kudus must shoot more and get into the penalty area. He added that James Maddison’s absence leaves the team without a natural playmaker, and that Tottenham lack goals from the centre-forward and playmaker positions.

Waddle defended Dominic Solanke, predicting that the striker would rediscover his scoring touch after finding the net, but said the team need a creative player behind the striker. He cited Eberechi Eze as an example of such a player and said he regretted that Tottenham did not sign him when they tried to.

Assessing Omar Marmoush, Waddle said he could not see a clear position for the player, and that his experiments on the wing, in attack or behind the striker had not convinced him. Marmoush joined Tottenham on loan from Manchester City, with an obligation to make the deal permanent for £60 million next year; he has scored one goal in 11 appearances, according to the article.
