‘Struggling Frank trapped in gilded cage at joyless Tottenham’

At the conclusion of Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Sunderland, the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium resonated with a well-known loud boos, more likely as a result of widespread frustration than a direct message to Frank, but the result was a soundtrack of deep discontent nonetheless.

Spurs’ dominance in the first half was rewarded by Ben Davies’ eighth goal in the club’s 244 Premier League appearances, which made them more functional than exciting.

The good news came to an end for Frank.

A thunderous 80th-minute equaliser from Brian Brobbey was followed by a sense of inevitability as Sunderland woke from their first-half slumbers.

Spurs faced the pressure that ultimately diminished their chances of improving their embarrassing home record this season as a result of their continued retreat in the second half.

Frank’s Spurs have now won only two of their past five league games at home, losing five of those and drawing three.

Spurs didn’t do well. They were dull, uninspired, and wasteful.

And that’s where Frank struggles to form any kind of friendship with Spurs supporters. The majority don’t have him, in modern terms. It’s frequently impossible to change the feelings once supporters have made a decision.

In Frank’s case, at least in the Premier League, he hardly inherited a winning machine from the fired Ange Postecoglou. The more likely outcome was Tottenham’s victory in the Europa League, but 22 defeats and a 17th-place Premier League spot were both more likely.

Frank’s first task was to appeal to supporters who were skeptical that he had moved from Brentford’s more subdued environment, but he has struggled to provide any sort of consistency, identity, and, more importantly, excitement and victories.

This season, he hasn’t had the same injury as Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison, who were key creators. After only 19 minutes of sitting here, Dominic Solanke lost Mohammed Kudus, who he had barely figured out.

Of course, Brennan Johnson has been acquired by Crystal Palace for $ 35 million. Although Frank was willing to lose the Wales player, Kudus limped disconsolately away with what appeared to be a muscle injury, which he might have cursed.

Spurs’ lackluster playing style under Frank is demonstrated by the fact that they have drawn six of their 20 Premier League games this year and have had a number of stalemates in their final 53 league games under Postecoglou.

What seems to be a mostly loveless relationship between Spurs supporters under the control of Frank?

By winning games without causing boredom or at least to cause supporters to sway to the edge of their seats.

Many people appear to have decided that Frank is not the man for them, which makes it seem impossible at the moment. It’s a shame to start a head coach’s reign, but already this region of north London will only be affected by a series of wins, which should be done with panache.

The fans of the Spurs did not insult their team or head coach during this game, as Frank had acknowledged, but the crowd yelled out indignantly at the break.

However, Frank asserted that all we wanted from the fans was support throughout the entire game. The first half, which the players worked hard throughout the game, will be acknowledged by the fans, “but sometimes it doesn’t go your way.”

There were many positive aspects to the performance, he continued. The first half resembled our intentions much more. Both our ball-intensity and our intensity were enjoyable. Although we produced many positive situations, we were unable to come up with the decisiveness needed to win the game.

We were slightly ahead in the second half, but we still managed to get into those close calls where we needed to end the game. The intensity is advantageous. The only negative is that we didn’t score a second goal.

“Sometimes you build up that momentum where everything works out and goes your way,” says one worker. Sometimes you have to work extremely, very hard to keep the margins in your favor.

We are all a little let down because we were unable to get the three points because of that.
