Tottenham Hotspur are struggling to perform at home in the Premier League this season
Tottenham have struggled to produce positive results in the Premier League in recent weeks. The Lilywhites have dropped points in four of their last five league matches, highlighting a worrying trend that Thomas Frank’s men may be losing momentum as they look to build on last season’s Europa League success. The North Londoners have also found it difficult to perform at a consistently high level from week to week.
The ongoing injury crisis at the club has not made things easier for Frank, with several key attacking players sidelined for long periods. Important figures such as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have yet to feature this season as they continue their recoveries from injury, while Dominic Solanke has barely played after suffering an ankle problem earlier in the campaign.

Thomas Frank needs to rectify some underlying issues at Tottenham in the coming weeks.
Tottenham’s home form has also been a major concern. They have dropped more points at home than any other top Premier League side so far, winning just one of their opening six league matches at N17. Frank’s men are winless in their last four league games at home, a stark contrast to their impressive away record this season.
Tottenham need to find consistency under Thomas Frank this season
The Lilywhites are aiming to close the gap on their rivals and secure European qualification by finishing in the Premier League’s top four. However, to achieve that goal, they must find a way to deliver consistent performances and avoid further dips in form. With only three points separating third and tenth in the league, every result will be crucial heading into the busy festive period.
Former Tottenham defender Steven Caulker recently addressed one of the key issues holding the team back under Thomas Frank. Speaking on talkSPORT, Caulker said,
“Spurs are struggling with a little bit of inconsistency right now. They’ve struggled at home a bit. It’s been a little inconsistent and in the forward area they’ve struggled. But I think Spurs will be alright this season, but they will need to improve with their consistency if they’re going to compete for the top four.”
Caulker believes Tottenham’s inconsistency is preventing them from keeping pace with their Premier League rivals. Their poor home record and lack of impact from the forwards remain major concerns for Thomas Frank. However, the former defender remains confident that the Danish manager can turn things around at N17, provided his team finds the consistency required to challenge for European qualification.
Tottenham’s next challenge comes against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are in outstanding form and are among the favourites to win the Premier League title this season. Frank’s men will need to be at their very best to secure a positive result in the North London Derby. If they manage to do so, it could serve as the perfect springboard for a strong run through the rest of the campaign.
