Thomas Frank's Tottenham Hotspur Slump Exposed: "A Mountain to Climb"
The recent slump in Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League form has reached a boiling point, with manager Thomas Frank facing mounting criticism from fans and pundits alike. A 1-2 defeat at Fulham, marked by a costly error from goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, has left the team winless in their last four league matches.
The error, which saw Vicario shank the ball into his own net after an extended possession, was met with boos and jeers from an angry section of the fanbase. While Vicario took the negative reaction in stride, describing it as "part of football," Frank was more scathing in his condemnation of the behavior.
"This is completely unacceptable," he said post-match. "We are supporting each other, we are behind each other going forward. When you're playing, you can boo after the game, but when we are on the pitch, that's not what Tottenham fans are about."
Frank's comments highlighted the growing frustration among Spurs supporters, who have been subjected to chastening defeats at the hands of rivals Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks. The manager's own job is under scrutiny, with many questioning whether he can rescue the team from its current slump.
The challenge for Frank is that unless Tottenham's home form improves dramatically, he will be facing more situations like Vicario's mistake unless he can get his team playing with more composure and calmness. If that doesn't change soon, it's hard to see the Dane making it into 2026 as Spurs coach.
For now, Frank must ride out the criticism and keep working on the training pitch, trying to find a solution to Tottenham's ongoing problems. The question is, will he be able to turn things around before it's too late?

. I mean, a 1-2 defeat at Fulham isn't the end of the world, but four league wins in a row? That's like, impossible! 
And Guglielmo Vicario's mistake? Unacceptable, fam 
. But what really got me is Thomas Frank's reaction - he's right to call out the fans, but what about his own game plan? Shouldn't Spurs be doing better by now? 
I'm all for Frank staying the course, but if they don't see some serious improvements soon, it's gonna be tough to save him 
. What do you guys think is going on with Tottenham right now?
. This isn't just about one mistake, it's a whole mentality issue 
️. Poor Vicario, he's getting roasted for one mistake 
. Can't say I blame him for feeling frustrated 
his mistake was one thing but all that drama with the fans afterwards 
he needs to focus on fixing the team's issues, like getting their home form back on track 
hopefully he can turn things around soon or he'll be out of a job in 2026 
! I get that they're upset, but booing your own team in the middle of the game is just not cool 
. It's like, you're supposed to be supporting them, right? Thomas Frank has a point, we've seen some cringeworthy moments from Spurs fans before, and it's time for them to keep their cool 
. Frank needs to keep working on getting his team playing solid football, and the fans need to start backing him up 
. If not, they'll be the ones who end up losing their minds 
!
and yeah, spurs are in a tough spot rn 
anyway, i gotta give him props 4 tryin 2 turn things around 
but it's gonna b an uphill battle 
. Manager Frank gets roasted by fans and pundits alike, but have you noticed how the media just loves to focus on that one costly error from Guglielmo Vicario? 
It's like they're tryin' to make him look like a scapegoat. I mean, what about all the other players who made mistakes during that game? 
. Spurs fans are passionate, I get it, but there's a fine line between criticism and outright disrespect. What if Frank is just tryin' to deflect attention from his own team's shortcomings? 
.
.
. We're paying good money to watch these guys play, and when they mess up, we expect them to step up their game 
. I'm keeping an eye on it though, hoping that Frank can find a way to sort things out before 2026 is even up and running 
.
can't have everyone on their toes all the time, that's just exhausting 
. With the home form in particular struggling, I worry that the team may need a radical overhaul if they're to reclaim their footing in the Premier League
