but he has just completed a move to Crystal Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\nAsked if someone, such as Kudus, who has two goals and five assists in 18 Premier League games, needs to step up more, Frank says teams have targeted Kudus more: \u201cMo (Kudus) is a top guy and he wants to do good and do better.\u00a0I think overall it has been a good season for him.\u00a0But I think also there\u2019s a lot of focus on him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey (opponents) know if they close him down, where do the other threats come from?\u00a0So that\u2019s something we need to work on, making sure there are other threats,\u00a0or we put him in good positions where he can produce some of those moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richarlison is the top scorer for Frank in the Premier League with seven league goals but their second top scorer is defender Micky van de Ven, who has three goals.<\/p>\n
Asked about the lack of goals in the team, Frank said: \u201cAll the teams I\u2019ve had before,\u00a0we have been top goal-scorers in the league. We\u2019ve created top scorers and that will happen again.\u00a0That I\u2019m absolutely 100 percent convinced about.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we also know along the way we need to get enough points. So tweak a few bits, but we still need to make sure we play forward\u00a0and we play enough expansive football and do that,\u00a0but everything is connected. If you then open up and we lose 3-1, that\u2019s not good either, so it\u2019s a fine balance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spurs are without Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison at present through injury, and asked where the goals can come from, he replied: \u201cI think there\u2019s a lot of potential in that aspect.\u00a0First and foremost, I think Richy (Richarlison) has done well,\u00a0compared to a lot of other seasons. He\u2019s fit and available,\u00a0and still playing without key creators behind him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always really liked Solanke. I\u2019ve said that many times.\u00a0I\u2019m convinced he\u2019ll score a lot of goals for us when he\u2019s fit and available.\u00a0I think Wilson (Odobert) has got very good potential. Mathys (Tel) has got very good potential. Mo (Kudus) needs to score more goals. He will score more goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Frank has backed Tottenham\u2019s attackers to step up and score more goals this season.
