. I think what's missing is that they're not creating enough clear-cut chances... it's all about those 0-1 defeats and draws which can be super frustrating for fans. They need to find a way to break teams down and start scoring some goals regularly 
. And yeah, crowd anxiety is real, but so is the pressure on players to perform under Thomas Frank 
. It's gonna take some time for them to figure it out, but with Carragher's experience watching from the sidelines, I think they're onto something 
! Crowd anxiety is real, fans can get so hyped up and anxious when we don't perform well that it affects the players' confidence on the pitch 
. And I feel like they need to bring back some of their injured guys ASAP, 'cause once they're all healthy again, maybe we'll see a more balanced performance from them 
. And I think Thomas Frank's getting the wrong end of the stick, he's doing a great job with limited players, so maybe we just need to give him more time and support? 
️
. I'm keeping an eye on them, hoping they can turn it around and show us what they're really capable of 
!
. It's not just about getting back injured players, it's about finding a rhythm and a flow on the pitch.
. Thomas Frank's gonna have to make some tough decisions and get his team to gel ASAP.
. Thomas Frank has shown he can adapt and make changes, so I'm hopeful they'll get things sorted out. But defensively, they've been pretty leaky, so they need to sort that out pronto 
. Carragher makes sense in saying they've got to sort out that defense, but I still think Frank's a great manager and can turn things around 
. The key is finding balance between offense and defense, and having players who can step up when it matters most. It won't be easy, but Spurs fans have been through tough times before, so let's keep the faith! 
. If they can't even beat teams that are supposed to be struggling, what makes them think they can take on City or Liverpool?
? It feels like Tottenham is just papering over cracks rather than actually addressing them. I need some hard data or expert analysis before I start believing that a strong team dynamic is all it takes to turn this season around 
. And let's be real, they need to get those injured players back ASAP 
. Carragher's right about defensive issues, and it's not just about adding new signings, you gotta make sure your existing squad is gelling as a unit 
. A balanced attack-defense combo would go a long way in stabilizing their performances 
. Thomas Frank's the man for the job, but he needs some key adjustments to get the team firing on all cylinders 
they're trying their best but the pressure is high! i think murphy hit the nail on the head about crowd anxiety, and let's be real, those injuries have been piling up so it's hard to regain momentum 
it's all about finding that balance between attack & defense, and getting their key players back in the mix 
fingers crossed for spurs fans! 
They're always talking about how they wanna play attractive football, but if they can't even keep the ball away from the other team, what's the point? 
.
. And I love that Thomas Frank is getting the chance to shake things up – he's clearly not one to give up easily! The key for me is finding that balance between attack and defense – if they can get that sorted, they'll be golden
