Pedro Porro slams Spurs supporters for 'disrespect' shown to teammates

Pedro Porro took to social media to explain his shenanigans after a horrific home defeat to Fulham on Saturday night.

Regarded as a must-win for Thomas Frank after back-to-back defeats, Spurs laughably found themselves 2-0 down inside a few minutes and were unable to mount a comeback despite Mohammed Kudus' strike at the start of the second-half.

Once again, Frank's side struggled to inspire a home faithful that's becoming increasingly restless, with extortionate ticket prices only exacerbating their exasperation at the current ongoings in north London.

For the most part, the Lilywhites have been a torrid watch this season, and strong concerns remain over the scalability of Frank's ideas, having worked wonders at Brentford. Spurs, right now, are a stodgy, cross-heavy mess bereft of the defensive security Frank believed he was installing.

Key to the manager's approach is right-back Pedro Porro, one of few standout technicians at Frank's disposal. However, Porro has been out of sorts in recent weeks, especially in possession. His delivery from the right has been erratic at best, and his antics were the main talking point from a tense post-match atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Relationship between Spurs players and fans is at its lowest

Porro initially stormed past Frank after the final whistle blew, but returned to the field to seemingly have a go at teammate Lucas Bergvall, who was in the centre circle applauding those that remained in the ground.

The reason for Porro's outburst wasn't initially clear, but he provided an explantion on Instagram the morning after: "Football is emotions," his story caption started, "In Football, as in life, there can always be mistakes, what in will not tolerate is hearing the disrespect from the fan to my teammates, hence my frustration at the end of the game.

"And we will get up we remind you 6 months ago, everything was so bad, and in the end is not how it begins but how it ends. To the true Spurs fan, I love you."

Aristotle-like.

Anyway, I'd love to know who this singular fan is. There's only one of us?

Porro was clearly peeved by the dissent shown by the crowd towards Saturday's performance, but he perhaps took most offence to the boos that Guglielmo Vicario was subject to immediately after his woeful mistake that allowed Fulham to take a 2-0 lead. Thomas Frank chimed in, too, perhaps unwisely in the current climate, but he had to back his goalkeeper.

I've never been one for booing. I don't see what good it does, but supporters are paying a lot to endure a product that's currently failing to deliver on any sort of level. Discontent is to be expected. That's sport!

Still, it's all so bleak at Tottenham right now. Frank was a great unifier at Brentford, but he has a huge job on his hands if he's to restore the connection between this group of players and those who follow them so intimately. The relationship is creaking, and I can hope Saturday was the final deterioration.

I probably said that after Chelsea.
