Tottenham Hotspur are in a strong position in the Premier League as Thomas Frank works his magic
Despite recent criticism from some sections of the media, Thomas Frank has done an impressive job at Tottenham following his high profile move from Brentford in the summer. The Danish tactician proved his quality during his time with the Bees, guiding them to the top flight in 2021 and establishing them as a reliable mid table side in the Premier League.
A move to a big club like Tottenham was long overdue for Frank as he looked to take the next step in his managerial career. It already appears that he has shown enough to suggest he is the right man to lead the North London club forward and help them build on last season’s Europa League triumph.
Tottenham Hotspur are in a strong position in the Premier League as Thomas Frank works his magic.
Thomas Frank is looking to turn Tottenham’s fortunes around in the Premier League.
Spurs have hit a rough spell in the Premier League in recent weeks, failing to win in five of their opening six home matches. This highlights that Thomas Frank still has plenty to address before his team can close the gap on their rivals in the months ahead. Patience is essential, and supporters must understand that the Lilywhites are still a work in progress as they continue to develop under the guidance of the Danish manager.
Thomas Frank overperforming with an ‘average’ Tottenham squad
Tottenham fans want to see their team compete with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City after winning the Europa League last season. But the reality is that the Lilywhites still have a long way to go before they can come anywhere close to their Premier League rivals. To achieve that, the supporters will have to show faith in Thomas Frank and give him time to turn the club’s fortunes around in the near future.
Sharing a similar viewpoint, Jamie O’Hara has expressed his support for Frank and suggested that the Danish tactician is overperforming with what he describes as an average Spurs squad. Speaking on talkSPORT, O’Hara said,
“Thomas Frank is a top manager. He is a brilliant manager. He’s come in with an average squad of players, with a few stars here and there, and we are sitting in a really strong position in the Premier League, and he’s just started.”
The pundit added,
“He needs two or three windows to get the best out of these players. Some of them will leave and we’ll bring new ones in. But to say we’ve made a mistake hiring him is remarkable.”
O’Hara holds Thomas Frank in high regard and believes the Danish manager has helped Spurs climb the Premier League table despite working with a mostly average squad. He urges supporters to remain patient and insists that Frank will need a few transfer windows to build a team capable of competing for major honours. O’Hara also states that Spurs have appointed the right successor to Ange Postecoglou.
Frank must now use the ongoing international break to his advantage and address the issues affecting the team after a string of poor performances. The Danish tactician needs to improve Tottenham’s Premier League form once the campaign resumes. The best way to start that turnaround would be by delivering a strong performance against arch rivals Arsenal in the North London Derby in eight days’ time.
