Frank sure he can sway unhappy Tottenham supporters

Thomas Frank mentioned he feels the same irritation as Tottenham supporters after yet another dull performance from his squad, though he is convinced he can gain their support.

The Tottenham manager faced boos from the crowd following Thursdays uninspiring 0-0 match against his old team Brentford, where fans also sang about how dull Tottenham were.

This outcome has placed the team, set to play Sunderland this Sunday, in 12th position in the Premier League, having secured only two victories in their last 10 league matches.

We are putting in tremendous effort, the under pressure Frank commented on Friday. I get their annoyance. I feel it myself.

Tottenham brought in Frank back in June after dismissing Ange Postecoglou due to a poor 17th place finish in the Premier League, yet he has found it tough to improve matters.

Journalists questioned the Danish coach on whether he could achieve success without the backing of the fans.

I would flip that query and suggest that if you succeed, the Tottenham supporters will support you, he replied.

Therefore the fans will rally behind us and I am quite certain that, although some jeered last evening, plenty of supporters are still with us.

Frank was quizzed on any possible disconnect between his view of success through outcomes and the entertaining style of play that Tottenham fans desire.

I believe high expectations are positive and we might be undergoing a period of change right now, he explained. That does not mean we lack the desire to perform much better, yet considering the club, the players, the injuries and so on, it all factors in.

Frank highlighted a long roster of missing players, such as James Maddison and Dominic Solanke, as a key factor in the teams difficulties.

I am absolutely convinced that we will start netting plenty of goals and become far more commanding in many fixtures, he stated.

However, with so many key players sidelined, a packed schedule of matches, it simply complicates things. Plus, without adequate training time, that is just how it stands.

The Tottenham head coach emphasised his commitment to making gradual progress each day.

At the moment it is the main topic around, that is understandable, he noted.

Come tomorrow it will fade away, something fresh will arise and we must stay composed behind closed doors, push hard on improvements and keep getting better.
