Frank insists Tottenham players are ‘still with me’

Despite their recent run of poor results, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank claims he “feels supported” by the club and that his players are “with me or heading in the same direction.”

Nottingham Forest defeated Frank’s side 3-0 over the weekend to record just one win in their previous seven Premier League games.

Before facing defending champions Liverpool on Saturday, they are 11th in the table, with 22 points from 16 games.

Before the Reds’ trip to North London, Spurs centre-back Micky van de Ven claimed he “still believes” in the Australian system and that he “never expected” the club to fire Frank’s predecessor Ange Postecoglou.

When asked if the players’ acceptance of his system was difficult, Frank replied, “No, I believe it was a good buy-in.

“From the beginning of the season, we started off fairly well without being sensational,” one might say.

After seven years at Brentford, where he led them from the Championship to the Premier League in 2021, Frank made a difficult start to life at Tottenham.

Following a run of one wins in eight at home against Fulham on November 29, the Dane’s performance had drawn more in-depth scrutiny from the club’s internal circles, and some Spurs supporters have also expressed frustration with Frank.

The manager insists that the club’s leadership will keep him in the game.

I feel supported,” she said. The 52-year-old admitted to doing that “every single time.”

This is not a quick fix, they say. It will take some time to accomplish this. That doesn’t mean that we won’t try our hardest to defeat Liverpool.

How can I say, “fix it, but just to make sure it’s not me,” and I’m very comfortable and assured that I will. There will be many good people working together who will be successful over the years who will be in harmony.

“I just know that I’m good at analyzing things, which is pretty good. I am aware of what good looks like, where to go [to], and… Without key players playing the right positions for a long time, I’m a million percent certain that any club would be successful.
