Thomas Frank backed to succeed at Tottenham Hotspur despite inconsistent run of form
Thomas Frank is facing criticism from several parts of the media due to Tottenham’s recent dip in form in the Premier League. Under the Danish manager, the Lilywhites have lost three of their first six home league matches and have struggled to produce consistent results, failing to win their last three league fixtures at N17.
However, their away record remains outstanding. The North London side have collected more points on the road than any other team in the league this season, earning 13 out of a possible 15. They are unbeaten away from home, which raises questions about the noticeable contrast between their home and away performances.
Thomas Frank backed to succeed at Tottenham Hotspur despite inconsistent run of form.
Thomas Frank’s Tottenham need to find consistency sooner rather than later.
Despite the recent setbacks, Tottenham still sit fifth in the Premier League, only four points behind second-placed Manchester City. It is also worth noting that Spurs remain a work in progress under Thomas Frank. The team is still adapting to new ideas, and it will take time for the manager to fully implement his plans as he looks to build on last season’s Europa League triumph.
Thomas Frank needs to steady the ship at Tottenham this season
Tottenham fans want to see their team perform well and aim for more silverware this season under Thomas Frank. But football rarely works that way, and the club might go through some rough phases before it eventually gets back to winning ways. The Danish tactician has already shown that, if given time, he has the right attributes to lead the Lilywhites to glory sooner rather than later.
Simon Jordan has now claimed that Frank has the right temperament to lead the club forward and turn Spurs into trophy-contenders. Speaking on talkSPORT, Jordan said,
“It’s a different set of rules now for Thomas Frank. He’s not managing Brentford anymore. He has the right temperament to handle it. I think he’ll be a success at Spurs, but it depends what level of success Spurs fans think they’re entitled to. They’re fifth in the league.”
The pundit added,
“This time last year, they might have been slightly better because they started the season better than they finished it. But I think Spurs will be better for the change of management. And he clearly has the right temperament to handle it because he doesn’t get phased by it.”
Jordan believes Thomas Frank faces a different challenge at Tottenham, but believes that the Danish tactician has the right temperament to handle the pressure that comes with the job. The pundit backs Frank to be a success at N17, claiming that ‘success’ would also mean achieving Champions League qualification this season. Despite the poor form in recent games, Jordan backs the Spurs boss to turn the fortunes around and bring stability back to the club.
All eyes will now be on Frank as he attempts to steady the team after a difficult run of performances. The November international break arrives at an ideal time for Spurs to reflect and address their issues. Up next is the North London Derby against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Whether Tottenham can respond and produce an upset remains to be seen.
