attacking perspective as well for Spurs, who are now 15th.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/topic\/thomas-frank\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Frank<\/a> therefore

become the first Tottenham manager ever to go unbeaten in their first three UEFA Champions League matches.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs recorded a 1-0 win over Villarreal in their opening match of the 2025\/26 European campaign, before fighting back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 draw against Bodo\/Glimt in the second outing.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham undoubtedly need to improve on the attacking front if they want to have a memorable season in Europe, but <a href=\"https:\/\/tbrfootball.com\/the-positive-tottenham-fans-can-take-from-thomas-frank-snubbing-pape-sarr\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Frank \u2013 who benched Pape Sarr again<\/a> \u2013 can be proud of his solid start to life in the UEFA Champions League with Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Frank also did something not witnessed since Antonio Conte 959 days ago<\/p>\n<p>The draw against Monaco could represent something of a reset for Tottenham, after several chaotic matches during the reign of <a

\u2013 who Nottingham Forest just sacked<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not since Antonio Conte on 8th March 2023 have Tottenham been involved in a 0-0 draw, which came against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>For too long under Postecoglou, the backline was stretched and clean sheets were all too rare, so it should actually bring an element of calm to Tottenham that a 0-0 draw has finally occurred. <\/p>\n<p>It gives Frank a foundation to work on his attack, and hopefully start to turn these draws \u2013 four of which have now occurred across all competitions this term \u2013 into wins. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Frank watched his Tottenham side move up to five points in the UEFA Champions League table
