Tottenham have been very poor at home this season.
Tottenham will be up against Sunderland on Sunday. There has been a lot of pressure on Thomas Frank as the supporters and the Danish manager are not on the same page. After the 0-0 draw against Brentford, the fans chanted “Boring Boring Tottenham” during the game. Spurs failed to create any big chances in the game, and the game lacked attacking creativity, with two keepers not having much to do.
Thomas Frank has gone down believing that the Spurs fans need to have patience. The game against his former side had a record as the club’s run of 137 games without a goalless draw came to an end. Frank will look to gain the support of the fans during their home game against Sunderland on the weekend.
Frank believes the “Boring, Boring Tottenham” chants from the club’s fans are shown as the ‘greatest problem in the world’, yet the same supporters are the secret to success for the club. In 2025, the Spurs lost 11 home games, the most that the Spurs have lost in a calendar year in their entire history. The four wins at home in the last 12 months are the second-worst performance at home since 1915.
Thomas Frank believes he can turn Spurs fans around on Sunday
Sunderland has been one of the sides with one of the best defensive records in the top flight and has created problems for big clubs this season. If the Spurs slip, there is a chance of the situation turning hostile at the Spurs’ home stadium on Sunday. Frank, on the other hand, believes that his players can showcase their best and gain back the support of the fans.
“There are a lot of other things to worry about in life that are much more important. What I’m focusing on is making sure we perform in the best possible way. All my focus is on that,” said the 52-year-old. “It’s also to make sure if we perform well, if we do what we do, also when we’re struggling, it hasn’t changed because there was some chanting [on Thursday].”
“When we play the game we need the fans behind us. They need to push and help us. It’s just facts, that’s the way it is. If they can see we run hard and do everything we can, then they should help us all the way and that’s hopefully enough to win the game.”
Frank feels the travelling fans’ response at the Gtech Community Stadium in midweek inflated the situation. He believes that Spurs fans turn things around at home. He said, “It is a beautiful example of how football works. It was one snapshot of the game. Before that, at home, we played against Brentford, we played a very good game, the fans were fantastic.”
“We played against Slavia Prague, they helped us, were fantastic. We played against Liverpool, they almost gave us a draw, where it seemed like everything was a little bit against us. The last three home games, the fans have been very good. Then there were the chants last night and boom, now it’s the biggest problem in the world.”
