By far and away, Thomas Frank is the most to blame for what is transpiring at Tottenham Hotspur, because every week, this club seems to sink to a new low with inexcusable all around performances that are equal parts anemic and cowardly. Nothing is going right for this Spurs side, and their recent 2-1 home defeat to rivals West Ham United truly sinks in the fact that this side is closer to a relegation fight than any sort of European footballing relevancy in 2026.
Frank earned more jeers and chants of being fired by Spurs supporters on Saturday afternoon, but there were also several Tottenham players whose displays on the pitch merited cries for them to lose their job status, too.
Striker Randal Kolo Muani began his loan tenure from PSG to Tottenham quite dismally with a dead leg, but he started to heat up when healthy, including a brilliant individual display against his parent club in the Champions League.
Randal Kolo Muani is killing his reputation
However, that match feels like a one off and ancient history at this point. Kolo Muani initially impressed Spurs supporters with his work rate and was tabbed as the solution at striker, but over the past several weeks as results have mounted against Spurs, a dark side to RKM has emerged.
Simply put, Kolo Muani looks like a guy who does not want to be here. His performance against West Ham was lackadaisical in every sense of the word. Kolo Muani was slowly meandering about the pitch, passing sideways, offering genuinely no sort of goal threat, and looking like he wanted nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur as a club.
Fans are increasingly calling the Frenchman out as a player who appears to be phoning it in, and it is true that he has no need to show Spurs any loyalty since he will be back out of Tottenham and on the next flight to France the moment the season ends.
Tottenham need to phase him out. Kolo Muani has no future value to Spurs, he will not be back next season, and he is treating the club like he is a mercenary. Spurs need to exile him to the bench and start giving all those minutes at the 9 to Mathys Tel, as the younger French forward has outperformed his fellow former Bundesliga man. Tel means something to Tottenham long term, and it is better to start him at striker and appease him against any loan move than to give a player with Kolo Muani's lack of effort a single second more.
