Tottenham deliver new stance on Thomas Frank after Liverpool defeat

Tottenham have had a miserable few months in the Premier League, and that continued at the weekend with a home defeat to Liverpool. The North Londoners are now 13th in the standings, which is far from where they imagined themselves to be.

On the back of another loss, pressure has continued to build on Thomas Frank. The Tottenham manager remains under pressure to perform, but for now, he will continue to get more time to stamp his authority on things.

As per Football Insider, Mick Brown has revealed that Tottenham are still hoping that Frank is their man, with the plan still being to stick with him long-term.

“Frank is definitely under pressure because results haven’t been good. That’s the game nowadays, you change managers like you change shirts, the second things go wrong everybody wants the manager to be replaced. I don’t think that will happen at Tottenham, they hope Frank will be the man to lead them forward, it’s more of a long-term plan and they don’t want to tear that up.

“The thing at Tottenham is, they had a lot of issues under Ange Postecoglou, not just with the style of play but also with the players available. Now those players are the same ones who we keep saying making mistakes under Thomas Frank, we saw that against Liverpool and it’s a huge problem. They got away with it last year because they won the Europa League, but leopards don’t change their spots, and that’s why there are still issues.

“The problems go deeper than the manager, so lets say they go and get someone else now, they’d have the exact same issues the last two have had. Sticking with Frank, letting him get his ideas across and do his thing, is the smart thing for Tottenham to do while they have to address the other issues they have.”

It is clear that Tottenham’s issues go beyond Frank, with the summer transfer business having failed to allow the squad to move on from last season’s domestic disappointments. However, he will take the brunt of it if form does not turn around over the coming weeks and months.
