Thomas Frank's Spurs face a worrying trend of lackluster performances in the final third, with the team struggling to create scoring opportunities.


“We have Micky and Djed who are doing everything they can...”


Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank sought to diffuse tension after defenders Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence were seen ignoring his request to acknowledge the fans following Saturday's 1-0 home loss to Chelsea. The pair headed straight down the tunnel as frustrated supporters booed the team off.


Frank downplayed the incident, emphasizing that both players have been performing well this season and are likely feeling frustrated like everyone else. “I think that is one of the small issues,” Frank said. “We have Micky and Djed who are doing everything they can. They perform very well so far this season, and everyone is frustrated. We do things in a different way, so I don't think it is a big problem.”




The manager's comments came after he took a moment to applaud the crowd, receiving a mixed reaction from the fans. Despite the setback, Frank remains confident in his team's abilities, particularly their attacking prowess. "I think every team I've coached has scored a lot of goals,” Frank said. “It will happen again in the future here.” Tottenham's upcoming fixtures against Copenhagen in the Champions League and Manchester United in the league will be crucial tests for the team.


“I think that is one of the small issues. We have Micky and Djed who are doing everything they can,” Frank said.


“They perform very well so far this season, and everyone is frustrated. We do things in a different way, so I don't think it is a big problem.”




The manager stayed behind on the pitch, acknowledging the crowd's appreciation with a mix of cheers and boos. This reaction came after Tottenham's home form in the Premier League this season under Thomas Frank showed only one win in their last five matches.


“They (the fans) did everything they could to back us in a game that we didn't perform well in. Chelsea were better than us,” Frank said.


“There's no doubt, and I keep saying it, that we have a front four that is new. We have to build together with short turnarounds in games. We'll do that. I'm not in doubt that it will happen.”



Tottenham's struggles to create scoring opportunities in the final third have become a concerning trend. Recent matches have highlighted this issue, with the team failing to find the net in their last league game against Newcastle United, losing 1-0 to Bournemouth in August, and being held to a goalless draw at Monaco last month.


“I think every team I've coached has scored a lot of goals. It will happen again in the future here,” Frank added.


Since taking over, Thomas Frank has made significant strides after Tottenham's tough season under Ange Postecoglou. With upcoming home matches against Copenhagen in the Champions League and Manchester United in the league, Tottenham is poised for a crucial period.
