The past month has underlined both Tottenham's potential and shortcomings in the club's ongoing battle to end its trophy drought, which stretches back to 2008.

Their 1-0 victory over champions Manchester City illustrated the potential, with the club boasting one of the game's world class forwards in Harry Kane and a packed 62,850-capacity stadium to match.

A dismal 4-1 defeat to Leicester followed by a meek 1-0 loss to an out-of-form AC Milan side on Tuesday showed the very worst, exposing a lack of quality in defence and depth across the side.
