Thomas Frank hailed for ‘brilliant’ quality that is already being seen at Tottenham
Thomas Frank has been hailed for the impressive start to the season that he has overseen at Tottenham.
The North Londoners have won three of their opening four Premier League games and sit second in the early-season table, just a matter of months after the new boss took the reins.
Frank’s Tottenham side continued their promising run in the Champions League in midweek, even if they did have to survive a second-half scare to beat Villarreal.
The former Brentford boss has made a seamless adaptation to life in the dugout in N17, and he has a clear ability that has been central to his early success.
This article includes the opinion of iconic football commentator Ian Darke.
Thomas Frank ‘brilliant’ at building team spirit at Tottenham
Frank has rotated quite heavily at Tottenham in the last few weeks, but that doesn’t appear to have created too many problems for him when it comes to the harmony within the squad.
Almost every player has played their part in the encouraging opening to the season, and they will be desperate to sustain that as we enter the bulk of the campaign.
The boss has made a big step up after his time in charge of Brentford, but he appears to be having all the right effects so far.
- Spurs have kept four clean sheets from their last five competitive outings
- They have conceded just once from those five games
- They have already scored three goals in two seperate games so far this term
Iconic football commentator Ian Darke – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Frank’s ability to foster camaraderie within a group has played a central part in Spurs’ success so far this term.
“I think he’s number one quality,” Darke said.
“Frank gets everybody on the same path. He’s brilliant at building a project and building a spirit. And I think you’re seeing that.
“They’ve got one or two eye-catching, surprising performances. Leave aside the Bournemouth game, because there’s going to be hiccups; they’ve gone on and won against Manchester City along the way.
“They’ve also won at West Ham. It’s a good start to the season. There’s no two ways about it.”
Spurs won’t regret Ange Postecoglou decision
Ange Postecoglou’s sacking by Tottenham was a controversial decision when it was made, but a few months down the line, the club hierarchy must surely be delighted with their call.
Their new man is much more measured and personable than his predecessor, and that can often go a long way in the eyes of the players.
Frank appears to have got the entire squad pulling in the same direction, and as long as that continues, then Spurs will likely continue to churn out strong results.
