Thomas Frank Acknowledges Spurs Fans’ Frustrations at Tottenham
Thomas Frank, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, recently addressed the frustrations expressed by Spurs fans. This follows a contrasting reception he received from Brentford supporters, who gave him a warm standing ovation before his recent match against them.
Frank Reflects on Challenges at Tottenham
During a press conference, Frank acknowledged the difficulties his team has faced in the Premier League. “You need to put in a big shift, and it’s not smooth and it’s tough,” he admitted. While he recognizes the challenges, he also sees these moments as opportunities for growth.
Performance Highlights
- Tottenham has achieved seven clean sheets this season under Frank.
- Previously, they managed only six under Ange Postecoglou in the 2024-25 season.
- The team recently secured a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace.
Despite the improvements, Frank admitted there is still room for progress. “It’s not perfect; we want to be a free-flowing team,” he stated. He emphasized the strength of their defensive performance and their ability to disrupt the opposition’s transitions.
Injury Concerns and Squad Challenges
Frank is managing a lengthy absentee list that includes key players like James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski, and suspended player Xavi Simons. He noted, “Expectation is good, and we are probably in a bit of transition.” Frank acknowledged that injuries and squad dynamics are challenges that must be addressed.
Upcoming Matches
Tottenham will next face Sunderland on Sunday at 15:00 GMT. As they prepare for this match, Frank remains focused on building a more cohesive and effective team.
