Tottenham Are Boring? Frank Responds to Spurs Fans' Jeers
2 January 2026
Jeers follow Frank as he returns to the stadium for the first time since leaving Brentford.
Frank Reacts to Spurs Fans Jeers
Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank acknowledged the frustration of Spurs supporters after the goalless draw with Brentford, saying he shared their disappointment.
Return to GTG and the Mood in the Stands
Frank, Brentford's former coach, was greeted warmly by Brentford fans before the match, but the mood shifted after the final whistle as Spurs traveling supporters directed jeers and chants of Tottenham are dull.
Standings and Form
The draw left Tottenham 12th in the Premier League, with only two wins in the last ten league games.
Frank on the Fans and the Project
Commenting to the BBC, Frank said that if the team can deliver results, Tottenham fans will back him. He understood the frustration completely and shared that feeling, but he believes there are many supporters who back their project.
Defence, Attack, and a Transitional Phase
Frank had taken the job last summer from Ange Postecoglou, following a disastrous campaign that ended in 17th place; despite the criticism, the team has shown clear defensive improvement.
Style, Improvement, and Realistic Hopes
Defending his approach, Frank said it is not perfect; they want to attack with fluency. He emphasized positives: the defensive base is now very strong, and they are working hard on the attacking side; football is a game of mistakes, and reducing turnovers will create more chances.
Closing Thoughts
He added that high expectations are healthy, but the club is in a transitional phase. The club, the squad, and injuries—these factors must all be taken into account.
