The 2022/23 campaign has been a difficult one for Tottenham and for their captain Harry Kane, who has opened up on just how difficult it has been.
"It's been tough," Kane said of the 2022/23 campaign in an interview with Sky Sports.
"Before every season you have targets as a team and you set out to achieve things, to win things and over the course of the season we've had some good moments.
"We've had some great results but we just haven't found that consistency that you need to be at the highest level.
"It's been difficult for many reasons, there's been many changes and as a player you try and adapt and you try and cope with those situations but it's not been easy. If we can finish this season in a strong manner and with a bit of positivity it goes along way into July and pre-season where we can go from there."
Kane wants changes at Tottenham
The striker went on to explain that changes need to be made in the off-season, while he stated that he wants the team to return to the highs of the Mauricio Pochettino era.
"There are conversations that need to be had toward the end of the season," he said.
"I feel like we lost a bit of what the values are at this club over the last few years.
"It's about finding a way to get back on the same page again and obviously even with the fans as well.
"When you've been here this long, I've been here since I was 11 years old, you understand what the fans are like, you understand what the club's like. You've been through good moments with the club, I've been through not so good moments.
"Values are that everyone wants to win and everyone wants to lift trophies and that's ultimately our aim every year.
"We probably haven't been doing that in recent years so ultimately it's about getting back to competing right at the very top and our squad has got enough talent to do that."
Asked specifically if he was referring the Pochettino years, he confirmed that he was.
"Yes, I think whenever you have a good moment as a team, and I think we had three or four really good years when we were competing at the very top, and that was without spending loads of money," he said.
"We had a really good mixture of young and experienced players. It's impossible in football to click your fingers and go back to the good times and say 'let's go back to what it was', because every season and every situation is different, but I feel like there were some values at that time and some culture that really made us achieve the things we did.
"So maybe we've lost parts of that over the last few years and it's about looking back at that and seeing the good things we can take from that and trying to implement that in the future."
