Frank Criticizes Spurs Booers: ‘Not True Fans’

In a recent Premier League match, Tottenham Hotspur faced Fulham and suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home. This loss marked Spurs’ tenth home defeat of the 2025 season. The match highlighted significant tensions between the team and its supporters, particularly directed at goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

Match Overview

Tottenham Hotspur struggled early in the game, conceding two goals within the first six minutes. Fulham’s Kenny Tete opened the scoring in the fourth minute, followed by Josh Wilson’s remarkable goal from 36.6 meters out. This incident occurred after Vicario mishandled the ball outside his penalty area, leading to Wilson’s volley from the touchline.

Fan Reactions and Frank’s Critique

The reaction from Spurs fans was intense, with some booing Vicario after the second goal and again at halftime as the team trailed 2-0. Thomas Frank, the Brentford manager, addressed this backlash, stating that those who booed cannot be considered true Tottenham fans. He expressed his disappointment, emphasizing the need for support during games:

• “In my opinion, it is completely unacceptable,” Frank remarked.
• He suggested that fans should support their team collectively rather than express negativity during matches.

Performance Analysis

Despite the loss, Spurs showed improvement in the second half. Mohammed Kudus scored for Tottenham, providing a glimmer of hope after a dismal first half. However, former Premier League goalkeeper Joe Hart noted that the second goal conceded by Tottenham was “completely avoidable.”

Hart acknowledged the frustrations of the fans but defended Vicario’s contributions off the pitch, highlighting his leadership qualities. He concluded that players are ultimately judged by their match performance, particularly when errors impact the game’s outcome.

The defeat against Fulham has left Tottenham supporters questioning their team’s prospects for the rest of the season. As frustrations brew among fans, efforts to rally support for the squad will be crucial in the upcoming matches.
