Former Scotland captain Rachel Corsie told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast that Tottenham are not fulfilling their potential under boss Thomas Frank after late defeat at Bournemouth<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I don’t think, at either end, they’re showing the levels that we know some of those players are capable of.<\/p>\n

“Someone like Cristian Romero – we’ve seen many times the passion he shows, he’s a charismatic character but [Antoine] Semenyo gets the ball on the edge of the box and what’s he likely to do? He’s going to shoot because he’s a forward and he’s very much on form. There’s not enough intensity to identify the danger.<\/p>\n

“Those are simple things that, when you’ve seen Thomas Frank’s teams play elsewhere, you know he demands a certain standard of how they press the ball. You see little things like that and it’s hard to understand where those little habits come from.<\/p>\n

“It’s not singling Romero out, it’s just an individual example of what I saw [in the Bournemouth game]. But all these little habits, for some reason, seem to be consistent things that linger around Spurs.”<\/p>\n

Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given agreed, recognising the pressure Frank will be experiencing:<\/p>\n

“I think he’s a really good manager and coach. I said last season that when the big jobs came up, he was never linked with them. Now he’s in that position, he’s in a big job and at a big club.<\/p>\n

“He can’t go home, put his head on the pillow and have a good eight hours’ sleep. He’ll be tossing and turning all night for the next training session and the next game.”<\/p>\n
