# ‘Muted’ – Mark Schwarzer names Tottenham’s ‘biggest disappointment’ vs Everton

**It was another sobering Premier League night for Tottenham Hotspur as they played out a 0-0 draw against Everton at home.**

Roberto De Zerbi’s side are winless in the competition this season and are also yet to score a goal, which is a worrying sign for the Italian.

The Lilywhites got off to a good start as Savio looked dangerous on the right flank. They created a lot of chances but were unable to make it count.

And Mark Schwarzer believes their first-half frailties in front of goal let Tottenham down on the night.

## Tottenham failed to make good first half count

“The biggest disappointment is the way Tottenham played in the first half,” said Schwarzer via the [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/cv5yj7z2xp2kt).

“The intensity, the opportunities they created just without any end product, without shots on goal.

“The second half was a little bit more muted. The subs definitely made a big difference; it was more proactive.

“Some decent shots on goal but just not able to get that goal. It was a more positive performance for Tottenham.”

Spurs are a work in progress, but not scoring in four Premier League games is surely a cause for concern for De Zerbi.
