At some point, Tottenham Hotspur supporters are going to reach a breaking point. They were pretty much already at that point after watching Spurs get totally drubbed 4-1 by arch rivals Arsenal in the last North London Derby, as Thomas Frank clearly did not learn his lesson from a ghastly 1-0 loss to the other big London rivals, Chelsea, just a few weeks prior.
Tottenham played like absolute cowards in their biggest game of the season and still got torn to shreds defensively - by Eberechi Eze, no less, a player who has done almost literally nothing in every other Premier League fixture this season.
Somehow, Tottenham have found more lows after that. They lost to Fulham in a terrible game after the Arsenal result. They won against Brentford and Slavia Praha, only to get shellacked by Sean Dyche and Nottingham Forest 3-0 shortly following those two wins. And then after beating local rivals Crystal Palace last Sunday, Frank and Co. laid another egg with a 0-0 draw with Brentford in the rematch on Thursday night.
Tottenham are sloppy and toothless
Yes, there have been far worse results than the 0-0 to Brentford this mid week in the Premier League, but watching how sloppy Tottenham play and how little urgency the Frank coached sides have, it is obvious fans are getting fed up and no longer see any positives or any upside to keeping Frank.
The reception he received from the away supporters was jarring. These folks paid their hard earned money and were treated to Spurs literally wasting time against freaking Brentford in a 0-0 game. During the match, these fans were serenading Frank with chants of Martin Jol and Eric Dier, of all people, before roundly booing the Danish manager after the match ended scoreless.
Not only are all of Frank's games a snoozefest to watch and insult to the intelligence of every Totteham fan watching, but it is not as if this boring and supposedly pragmatic approach is yielding any results for Spurs. If anything, they have been somehow worse this season in the Premier League than they were last season.
Spurs fired Ange Postecoglou last season after winning the Europa League in the hopes that Frank could build on the successful Europa League campaign and improve the club's fortunes significantly in the league. He has come nowhere close to doing that, and after witnessing another game with no positives and more blatant cowardice, including three defensive midfielders against BRENTFORD (!), the chorus from the bleachers is obvious. Even the reasonable fans want Frank out pronto.
