Tottenham fans should stop blaming Thomas Frank, someone else is at fault for their struggles
Thomas Frank has struggled badly since taking over at Tottenham last summer and the supporters are firmly against him.
Spurs currently sit 14th in the Premier League, having picked up just 29 points from their first 24 games this season.
Not only have the results failed to live up to expectations, but the performances have been lacklustre and uninspiring as well.
Frank still retains the support of the Tottenham hierarchy for now, but there is little respite for the Dane as he battles with a severe injury crisis.
Dejan Kulusevski still miles from a return
The likes of James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Kevin Danso and Ben Davies are all currently missing due to injury.
Dejan Kulusevski is the most notable absentee though, given he hasn’t played a single minute for Tottenham this season.
Last month, Frank hinted that the Swedish international could be close to a return, but that now looks to have been false hope.
Kulusevski has been left out of Tottenham’s Champions League squad for the knockout stages of the competition, hinting he is still a fair distance away from full fitness.
Frank has made three changes to his squad as the North London side go into the last 16, with Mathys Tel, Radu Dragusin and Conor Gallagher replacing Davies, Bentancur and Brennan Johnson.
It means that, as well as Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma also misses out despite his recent return to the fold.
Thomas Frank can blame medical team
Kulusevski was one of Tottenham’s most important players last season, but he hasn’t featured since suffering a knee injury against Crystal Palace back in May.
At the time, there were rumours that he would be fit for the Europa League final against Manchester United, but those were clearly wide of the mark.
The creative midfielder hasn’t been seen for 271 days, and Spurs fans are still no closer to knowing a return date.
Obviously, there have been some setbacks in his recovery, but Frank will be fuming at his medical team.
Kulusevski would have been a massive help for the Dane, even if he was just fit for the second half of the campaign, but now he may not even feature at all this season.
If Frank does get the sack, he will know who to point the finger at.
