What a spectacle! The Premier League giants are first in away games, second from last at home, and now they are heading straight into the Champions League.

After the 11th round of the Premier League is completed, it will soon enter the national team match day, and all teams will have two weeks to adjust. Judging from the standings, there is a wealthy team in the Premier League whose performance is polarizing. It ranks second to last at home but ranks first in away games. Now it has entered the Champions League, forming a special spectacle.

This team is Tottenham, one of the six traditional giants in the Premier League.

At present, Tottenham has completed 11 Premier League games, with 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, with 18 points. With a goal difference, it beats four teams with the same points, including Aston Villa, Manchester United, Liverpool and Bournemouth. It ranks fifth in the Premier League, 8 points behind the leader Arsenal and 4 points behind the second place Manchester City. Since the Premier League has a very high chance of winning a Champions League bonus spot again, Tottenham's position happens to be the last in the Champions League.

If you carefully observe Tottenham's scoring situation, you will find a very interesting phenomenon. In the 6 home games, except for the three-goal victory over newly promoted Burnley in the first round, they were unable to achieve any victory. They lost to Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively, and drew with Wolves and Manchester United.

It seems that even after moving out of White Hart Lane and changing the stadium, the former "Three-Point Alley" still exists. I have to say that maybe it is really a pity for Wolves and Manchester United. The former was robbed of a point by Tottenham in the 93rd minute, and the latter was reversed by Tottenham with two goals in the last few minutes. With De Ligt's stoppage time goal, it was difficult to take away a point.

Tottenham have only scored 5 points in 6 home games. This is the 19th place among the 20 teams in the Premier League, which is the second-to-last worst. It is only slightly better than Wolves, who are hard to win, and even worse than Nottingham Forest and West Ham, who are struggling in the relegation zone. The two teams scored 7 points and 6 points at home respectively, both scoring higher than Tottenham. If the time span is further extended, Tottenham have only won 3 games and lost 12 games in the past 20 Premier League home games.

However, looking at the away games, Tottenham have won all five of their five away games, except for Brighton, who struggled to equalize the score after falling behind by two goals, including three clean sheets against Manchester City, West Ham and Everton, and a victory over newly promoted Leeds United. Especially the victory over Manchester City in the second round made everyone feel that the relegation team last season has become a completely new team.

Scored 13 points in 5 away games, which is the best performance among the 20 teams in the Premier League. Currently, only Arsenal can score 13 points in away games, but they have one more game than Tottenham and are also behind on goal difference. Chelsea has scored 10 points in 5 away games. The remaining 17 teams are unable to break through 10 points. The highest are Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Sunderland, all with 7 points in 5 games. Manchester United, which has always been regarded as a bad away game, has 6 points in 6 games. It can be seen that Tottenham's results in the away game are quite excellent.

A team at home and a team on the road are the distinguishing features of Tottenham in the Premier League this season. Because the scoring ability at home is really poor, it is almost like the performance of a relegation team. Even if it is outstanding in the away game, it can only be up to 8 points behind the top spot, which has become an important reason why the ranking has not been improved.

However, after changing the track, Tottenham turned into another spectacle.

In the Champions League, Tottenham defeated La Liga powerhouse Villarreal with one goal at home, beat Copenhagen with four goals, and drew two consecutive away games, with Bode Shine and Monaco respectively. In the League Cup, they beat low-level Doncaster by three goals at home, and then lost to Newcastle by two goals away from home and were eliminated. Obviously, in the Champions League and League Cup, Tottenham have become a dragon at home and a worm on the road, winning all at home and winning away from home is hard to come by.

Tottenham have difficulty winning at home in the Premier League, but they make great progress in away games. The opposite is true in non-Premier League games, winning all at home and failing to win away games. I believe that new coach Frank will also notice this problem. If he wants to win the Premier League championship, the completely different problems of home and away games must be solved as soon as possible.

If Tottenham's performance at home can be improved, Arsenal, also located in North London, will really usher in a strong competitor.
