Saving my potted Olive tree

Hi there,
I am not sure if it is the infestation - tiny spiders? Lack or too much water or needing to be fed and repotted...my little tree is in trouble but I think just alive.
I have attached pics of the few healthy leaves and the 'bigger picture'. I did give it blood and bone and seaweed feed recently..it is in sandy soil so does not get water logged....any advice please

    Oh dear!  It does look scraggy.

    I'd be patient and keep giving it water.  Nothing much else you can do.  Too late to prune any dead twiggy bits.  Is it possible to plant it into the ground in the autumn?  Or repot into something larger.  Around November.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    OK thanks..I was thinking of repotting - we will hold off and hope it hangs on...:)
