Tottenham Fans May Be Unhappy With Thomas Frank\u2019s Latest Comments on Bentancur and Palhinha<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur supporters may not be pleased with Thomas Frank\u2019s recent remarks concerning the midfield partnership of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha.<\/p>\n
Spurs have endured a mixed run of form in recent weeks, with results falling short of expectations. Frank began his tenure in strong fashion, winning four of his first five games, recording four clean sheets, and netting nine goals. However, the team\u2019s recent performances have dipped, managing just one win in their last five fixtures, with their only clean sheet coming in a tense draw against AS Monaco.<\/p>\n
Addressing the team\u2019s struggles, Frank spoke about Tottenham\u2019s attacking issues and the impact of injuries to key players. He noted that every manager wants a fully fit squad but acknowledged that injuries are part of football. \u201cEvery head coach or manager wants their best players fit. When that happens, we complain the squad is too big. Injuries are injuries, it is what it is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Spurs manager also mentioned the absence of key attackers like Solanke, Kulusevski, and Maddison, while emphasizing that the available players are working hard to restore their attacking rhythm. \u201cIt would be lovely to use Solanke, Kulusevski, Maddison, but we have some very talented attacking players available. We are working hard getting the flow with the front four. There have definitely been some good games and good spells but we will keep working,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Despite criticism from some fans regarding the Bentancur and Palhinha pairing in midfield, Frank maintained confidence in the duo. He explained that the midfield setup is a collective effort and that both players contribute positively to the team\u2019s overall play. \u201cIt\u2019s a collective effort in terms of build-up and creating chances. They are more than capable of helping the team. If we are not so free-flowing, it\u2019s about making sure we are solid,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Frank further assured that he is analysing every aspect of the team to improve performance and results. \u201cI\u2019m looking into every aspect to do everything I can to maximise the performance. What is the best way to get results and make sure we play as good as possible. I\u2019m happy with Joao and Rodri, that\u2019s what I\u2019m looking at. People can look at whatever they want,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
