Jason Cundy rips into Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank
Tottenham started the season in promising fashion, winning three of their opening four Premier League matches. The Lilywhites also recorded an early victory over Manchester City, suggesting a bright new era at N17. However, their league form has dipped significantly in recent weeks, particularly at home.
Thomas Frank’s side have now dropped points in five of their six league matches at home this season, with their only win at N17 coming on the opening day against relegation candidates Burnley. Spurs have struggled to impose themselves against teams they were expected to beat, leading to growing frustration among supporters.
The recent result against Manchester United only added to those concerns, as Tottenham conceded a late equaliser in stoppage time and let two valuable points slip away. The busy schedule, combined with injuries throughout the squad, has made Frank’s job even more challenging. Despite this inconsistent run, the Lilywhites are still within reach of the top four and currently sit fifth in the Premier League table.
Thomas Frank needs to turn the fortunes around at Tottenham
Tottenham have won just one of their last four league matches as they look to regain momentum ahead of the festive fixtures. The team has lacked attacking sharpness, with the forward players struggling to deliver consistently. If Spurs are serious about competing for European qualification, improving their home form will be essential.
Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has criticised Thomas Frank for not getting the best out of the squad. Speaking on talkSPORT, Cundy said,
“I don’t know if he’s a top-four manager. He’s a good manager. You can see the difference he’s made. But I don’t know how good he is though. I’m not sure if he’s a top-four manager. I don’t know if he’s got that ‘X factor.’”
Cundy claims Thomas Frank is not a ‘top-four’ manager and the Tottenham job is too big for him. The renowned pundit admits the Danish tactician has made a difference at N17 during his time in North London. However, Cundy also claims that Frank lacks the ‘X-factor’ to take the Lilywhites to the next level in the near future.
Well, it is still early doors to write off Thomas Frank completely at Tottenham. The Danish tactician has certainly shown what he is capable of early in the season. And his team just needs to find consistency to turn the fortunes around at N17. Spurs are struggling to grind out positive results, but that is not all down to Frank. The players are also at fault for their dismal form in recent weeks.
Supporters will hope that Frank can steady the ship and continue building on the progress seen earlier this year. His work at Brentford demonstrated his capability to develop teams over time, and he has earned enough credibility for the club to give him patience and backing as he works to guide Tottenham forward.
