The new Vice Captain of the club, Ben Chilwell, acknowledges the struggles but attributes them to the inexperience in the squad.

What Chilwell said
Chilwell, who is currently on England national duty, told reporters he believes the young age of their squad is one of the reasons they have been struggling but trusts in the boss, Mauricio Pochettino, to steer the ship right.
"It is such a young and new squad. It’s inexperienced in a way,” Chilwell said, per Goal.
“There’s a new manager trying to impart his ideas, and it is down to me and Reece [James, captain] to take on responsibility, be leaders in the group, and guide the ship a little bit.
