The issue for Spurs, is that this is the second year in a row we’ve run into this. It’s a failure of the front office to not bolster the squad, plain and simple. You’re not going to compete in three competitions (soon to be four) with ~18-20 guys capable of starting games. And of course your defence falls apart when you lose 3/4 of your backline.
And you're right, I'm not disagreeing with you, its just that you need Academy players to step into roles when the transfer window is closed.

You can't have a thin squad and no Academy. Thats a recipe for failure.
