Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> will not sack Thomas Frank<\/a> in the aftermath of their poor showing in the north London derby against Arsenal<\/a>. Spurs were torn apart by the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze rubbing salt in the wounds by netting a hat-trick after coming so close to signing for them in the summer. Leandro Trossard was also on target as the hosts romped to a 4-1 victory<\/a> to extend their lead at the Premier League summit.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ fourth league defeat of the season comes amid a backdrop of growing restlessness from Spurs supporters at what they perceive as below-par and negative performances. But while Spurs chiefs are aware of the downturn in results, they are keen to give Frank time to turn things around.<\/p>\n

According to The Telegraph<\/a>, the club’s owners, the Lewis family, are clear on their thoughts that Frank’s appointment was a long-term project and that remains the case. It is emphasised that the club are not panicking and will not be forced into making a knee-jerk decision. They do have concerns, however.<\/p>\n

It is thought that the former Brentford boss’ numerous changes have contributed to a series of disappointing performances, while some players are keen for Frank to focus on the strengths of his own side.<\/p>\n

The squad reported to Spurs’ training ground on Monday as usual before travelling to France for the club’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Speaking after his side’s defeat to Arsenal, Frank said: “I’m a very big believer that no matter what system you play you can be successful. I completely understand the question and I will always take the full responsibility. The full responsibility will always be on me today when we didn’t perform.<\/p>\n

“I picked a team that played 5-4-1, changed it half-time, very clever, one minute into it they scored, 3-0, the rest is history after that. What I would say is that no matter if we played another system we needed to be more aggressive and better in the duels. That doesn’t matter to the system but I take responsibility for everything today.”<\/p>\n

On Spurs’ disappointing results, he added: “That, of course, will always be a concern. I would like the team to have very few bad performances. There will always be average performances, because it’s football we’re dealing with.<\/p>\n

“That’s definitely something I need to look into, because today, I felt we were fresh, I think we were ready. The Chelsea<\/a> game was a little bit on the back end of a tough spell. There could be that but the performance was still bad. Today, I didn’t expect us to be not competitive.”<\/p>\n

Frank was appointed in the summer as Ange Postecoglou<\/a>‘s replacement. Spurs paid \u00a310million compensation to Brentford to seal his services, while Frank penned a three-year deal in north London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur will not sack Thomas Frank in the aftermath of their poor showing in the north London…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[92029,25907,85,46,2619,92030,105,92027,4028,92028],"class_list":["post-150963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-arsenal-defeat","tag-arsenal-fc","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-premier-league","tag-premier-league-performance","tag-sports","tag-thomas-frank","tag-tottenham-hotspur","tag-tottenham-hotspur-fc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
