Thomas Frank blames injuries for Tottenham’s poor results, speaking out this week as the Spurs boss pointed to a long list of sidelined players to explain the team’s rough patch. The Danish manager didn’t hold back in interviews, saying the absences “need to be massively considered” when judging recent games.
Thomas Frank on Spurs’ poor results reasons: “The injuries, I think they need to be massively taken into consideration ”.
“I haven’t really said it too much, but everyone can see the impact of things ”.
He kept it straightforward after another tough outing. “I haven’t really said it too much, but everyone can see the impact of things,” Frank added, voice steady but clearly frustrated.
Tottenham sits in a tricky spot mid-table, wins are hard to come by, and the treatment room stays packed. Key names like Cristian Romero, young stars, and midfield engines are all out at undesirable times, forcing patchwork lineups that struggle to click.
Fans feel the pain deep. Social media fills with groans over the “cursed” luck Frank mentioned once, pointing to setbacks piling up just when momentum builds.
One supporter posted a list of missing players next to recent scores, the caption reading, “This is why – give the gaffer a break.”
Others nod along, remembering brighter spells when the squad stayed fit. But pressure mounts anyway – home crowds turn restless, and chants are quieter some nights.
Frank took the Spurs job with big hopes, bringing his Brentford magic that punched above its weight. Early days showed promise – attacking play, youth shining.
Injuries hit like a wave, though, derailing trains before they speed up. He stays defiant in public, vowing to fight back, but admits the toll privately. “We’re missing too many at once,” he told reporters, eyes on returns soon.
Rivals smell blood. Opponents exploit gaps, press high, and win duels. Spurs usually dominate.
Analysts agree the crisis looks real – eight key men out at peaks, forcing kids or square pegs into holes. Frank calls it bad luck mostly; no deeper fixes are needed yet.
Supporters split on blame. Some back him fully, saying judge when full strength returns. Others whisper changes higher up if the slide continues. The club backs him quietly; no panic buttons are pressed. The training ground buzzes with rehab work, with comebacks teased.
This stretch tests Frank properly. Known for his calm touch and smart tweaks at Brentford, he faces a bigger spotlight now. Tottenham expects trophies, not excuses – injuries or not. Fans hope words turn into wins soon, the treatment room empties, and the form flips.
For now, Frank stands firm, pointing out facts clearly. Injuries hurt bad; the impact shows plain. Everyone sees it, he says. The question remains: is it enough to turn the season? Spurs faithful hope yes, waiting returns that change everything.
