Jose Mourinho has a huge job on his hands this summer as he looks to stamp his mark on his Tottenham team.
Claiming upon his arrival that he wouldn't be looking to sign players in January as he was happy with those at his disposal, the experienced boss brought in Gedson Fernandes and Steven Bergwijn.
Mourinho is again expected to add to his squad but his transfer kitty will be significantly less if the team miss out on a Champions League finish.
Exiting the competition against RB Leipzig on Tuesday evening following a Marcel Sabitzer double and Emil Forsberg's strike, Spurs' only hope of playing Champions League football in 2020/21 is by qualifying via the top four.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg as they travelled to the Red Bull Arena, the German side put the game out of sight inside the opening 20 minutes as two goals from Sabitzer gave the Lilywhites a huge mountain to climb.
They were unable to perform yet another Champions League miracle and Mourinho must now work his own magic in the team's remaining nine league games.
On the evidence of Tuesday night's performance in Leipzig, as well as their recent league matches, it looks increasingly unlikely that they will be in the competition for a fifth year on the trot.
Mourinho's predecessor Mauricio Pochettino spoke about a "painful rebuild" at the club and that's exactly what the Lilywhites are going to have to go through if they want to compete at the top end of the Premier League again on a regular basis.
With a number of positions definitely needing strengthening before the August transfer deadline such as striker, defensive midfield and right-back, one area Mourinho may now have to look at is goalkeeper.
Spurs have conceded four goals in the two games since Hugo Lloris' return from a groin injury and the Frenchman has been at fault for three of them.
Failing to keep hold of Jay Rodriguez's stinging effort at Burnley on Saturday that allowed Chris Wood to prod home, the World Cup winner should have done so much better for RB Leipzig's opening two goals.
Firstly Lloris got a good hand to Sabitizer's low drive but he just couldn't palm it away, before doing the same as the Austrian powered a header home at the near post from Angelino's cross.
The midfielder's first goal wasn't the cleanest of strikes and should have been kept out, while you have to question why he didn't have his front post guarded for the second as the ball crept over the line.
Lloris' role in the opening two goals was widely discussed amongst Spurs fans and club legend Glenn Hoddle was critical of the experienced stopper.
"If he’s in the right position [for the first goal], just a yard inside his six yard box he saves that with ease,” he said on BT Sport.
"It’s something he’s worked at and obviously he wants to be deep in his goals but the deeper you are in your goal you’re giving away the corners. I just think it’s a technical thing he’s got to get out of.
"You can’t be beaten at your near post [for the second goal]. That is outside the six yard box. If you get beat, you get beat across your goal surely.
"We are digging him out because they’re two mistakes but at the end of the day at the top level, the Champions League, you get caught out if you’re in the wrong position. It’s as simple as that."
It's not the first time Lloris has made mistakes in games and it certainly won't be the last.
Making some high-profile errors last term, including the one in the final minute against Liverpool to lose the game, the Frenchman has also been in the headlines this season for the wrong reasons.
A number of Spurs fans now panic when he gets the ball at his feet in the box given that he attempted a Cruyff turn on Southampton's Danny Ings in September and got it oh so wrong as he gifted the ball to the forward on the goalline.
The following week at Brighton he sustained a dislocated elbow after falling awkwardly but the injury came from him dropping a simple cross on his line to hand Neal Maupay an easy finish.
While it is worth pointing out that he has made some important saves for Spurs this season to get points on the board, he is worryingly becoming more known for his mistakes.
The goalkeeping department is one area Spurs will look at in the summer with Michel Vorm on course to depart once again due to his expiring contract.
However, Mourinho may now want to consider bringing in a new No.1 or at least someone who can really push Lloris going on his nightmare out in Leipzig.
Whereas Pochettino was fiercely loyal to his captain and continued to play him when some managers may have omitted him from the team, his successor would not think twice about dropping players if they are not performing to his standards.
The head coach now needs to start plotting for the future after a disastrous season and he definitely has a decision to make over who will be in goal for the foreseeable future.
Such a good servant for Spurs down the years since his move from Lyon in 2012, there is going to be a point when Lloris finds himself out of the team on a permanent basis due to his costly erros.
That may now be sooner than later after what happened in Leipzig as Spurs' crashed out of the Champions League with barely a whimper.
