Spurs fans are at a loss for words after the humiliating 2-1 defeat to West Ham United, with many calling for manager Thomas Frank's head on a platter. The Danish coach has been struggling to win over Tottenham supporters since his appointment in the summer, and this latest result has cemented his status as a target for toxicity.
Frank's pedigree is well-documented, having previously managed Brentford to promotion, but Spurs fans are growing increasingly disillusioned with his conservative approach. The team's league home record reads 11 games lost, six won, and only two drawn - a worrying statistic that suggests Spurs are struggling to assert their dominance at home.
The game itself was a masterclass in Spurs' inability to string together a coherent performance. Despite taking the lead through Cristian Romero's equaliser, the team succumbed to a stoppage-time winner from Callum Wilson, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to blame for both goals.
As the final whistle blew, Frank appeared broken and stunned by the scale of the fans' discontent. Many Spurs supporters were chanting "sacked in the morning" before the game even finished, making it clear that Frank's position is under serious threat.
Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney told BBC Match of the Day: "I felt for him - I have been in that position. It is a lonely position to be in. The Tottenham fans have spoken and, when that happens, it looks like he will lose his job."
Ex-England striker Alan Shearer echoed this sentiment, stating: "The players are not giving enough, there is no doubt but I don't see a plan or a system and some players are looking lost." He also questioned the team's signings in the summer, saying that Spurs need to give something extra if they want to compete.
Frank's problem is that after losing games, even their sceptical supporters might expect them to win. The upcoming sequence of games against Borussia Dortmund, Burnley, Eintracht Frankfurt, Manchester City, and Arsenal will be crucial in determining Frank's fate.
The Spurs hierarchy has been trying to defend Frank, but this latest result has made it clear that the tide is turning against him. Whether those above him show more patience or decide to make a change remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Thomas Frank is under intense pressure, and his future at Tottenham hangs in the balance.

they need to get their act together ASAP! i think frank's approach needs to change, all that conservatism isnt cutting it atm 
and those stats are super worrying...11 losses at home? u can't just blame the manager for everything tho, the players gotta step up too 
plus, what's with the toxicity towards frank? cant we all just have a calm discussion about what went wrong? 
. Like, I get that they had a bad game, but do we really need to be calling for someone's head over social media? It's just so...unproductive 
. And honestly, 11 losses at home already? That's not exactly a secret, folks 
Thomas Frank has some great experience under his belt (Brentford to promotion, anyone?), but I guess that's not enough to impress Spurs fans right now 
.
. Maybe we should try to have a more nuanced conversation about what actually needs to change (player signings, team dynamics, tactics, etc.)? 
i mean its not just about him being a danish coach or whatever its about the team's performance at home which is pretty meh atm 
️ cant wait to see how he handles the upcoming games esp against borussia Dortmund 
he did a great job getting brentford promoted & all that's cool... but 2-1 loss to west ham is like wow 
11 lost home games? that's not just bad, it's alarming 
the thing is, i get why fans are upset - they wanna see wins, esp at home 
but frank needs time, like really time 
can't just sack him after one bad game (no matter how bad) 
might need to revamp the squad & strategy 
or just some good ol' fashioned player rotation 
anyway, only time will tell what happens next 
. They want to see a plan, a system, something that'll get them out of these tough times 
.
. I'm not buying into all this "he's a great coach" nonsense either - his record speaks for itself: 11 losses in the league at home? That's unacceptable! 
We deserve better, and it's time someone took him to task 
. Maybe it's time for some fresh blood or a change of strategy... anything but more of the same old mediocrity 
. The team needs a system and some cohesion, but it feels like they're just winging it right now 
. I'm all for giving Frank time to adjust, but this latest loss is huge 
. We'll see what happens in the next few games - maybe he'll turn it around, or maybe Spurs need a change at the top 
. His tactics are whack, team's not gelling & that league home record is a disaster 
. Even the fans who still think he can turn it around are getting frustrated 
!
Frank has experience managing promotion teams, he can do it at Spurs too! 
. And what about those signings in the summer? Were they even worth it?! 
I need some solid proof before I start calling for Frank's head 
.
. Is that really a fair assessment? Has anyone seen the team's training sessions? Are they even doing sprints?!
