Sam Allardyce’s arrival at West Brom has not led to better defending. They have conceded 26 goals in his nine league games (yielding only five points). So imagine the reaction if Tottenham cannot get back on track after three league defeats in a row. José Mourinho’s team have been dreadful during the sequence, creating precious little, as the manager obsesses over Harry Kane’s absence. Somebody else must step up. David Hytner
