Thomas Frank voices frustration over poor Tottenham defence during Burnley stalemate

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank expressed deep anger regarding his teams defensive errors in a 2-2 draw against Burnley on Saturday, which has intensified questions about the Danish coaches prospects.

Burnley appeared set for their initial league victory since October until Cristian Romeros last minute leveller rescued a draw for Spurs.

Micky van de Ven had given Tottenham the lead in a commanding opening period for the away side at Turf Moor.

Yet Frank was incensed by the way Axel Tuanzebe levelled just prior to halftime and Lyle Fosters subsequent goal for the Clarets with 14 minutes remaining.

We must never allow a goal like that right before the interval, Frank stated.

The second half featured more exchanges, and we lacked control during that phase. We did not manage it adequately.

We then let in another avoidable goal, one we should never concede. Our defence was far too exposed.

Nevertheless, we finished strongly with determination and several attacking changes to secure the equaliser. We created three or four excellent opportunities and converted one.

This draw moves Tottenham to 13th position, though they have only triumphed in two of their previous 14 Premier League matches.

A 2-0 success against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League midweek had offered Frank temporary relief amid rumours of his imminent dismissal.

Still, scrutiny on his role will increase as Spurs chances of qualifying for Europe next term diminish.

The approach must involve steady minds, persistence, and adherence to our believed correct strategies, the ex Brentford manager remarked on the mounting pressure.

Consider todays match. We generated sufficient chances to claim victory, but we must improve our defending in those two instances.

Additionally, converting one more goal might have sealed it at 1-0.
