Tottenham Hotspur players are reportedly getting frustrated with manager Thomas Franks’ team talks and he risks losing the dressing room if things don’t change upcoming fixtures.
Despite starting the season on a bright note, Tottenham have failed to stay consistent. After capturing 17 points from their first nine league games, the London-based outfit have gone four Premier League games without a win.
November was a difficult month for Thomas Frank’s team, who lost four games and draw one, with their only win coming in the Champions League against Copenhagen.

With pressure now mounting on Frank, report from The Sun claim he’s on the verge of losing the dressing room.
According to a report from The Sun, sources close to the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room have indicated that there is growing uncertainty and confusion among players under the stewardship of head coach Frank.
The report highlights the frequent last-minute changes to player roles – with tactical adjustments made just before kick-off or even scrapped entirely in the early phases of the match – as the primary factor behind Frank’s waning authority in the dressing room. The Tottenham players are not happy with Frank’s managerial style and the recent stretch of poor results has only exacerbated the situation.
Following Spurs 2-1 defeat to Fulham, the former Brentford boss insisted that he continues to retain the backing of the club’s hierarchy.

However, he is under mounting pressure to turn things around, starting with Wednesday’s visit to St. James’ Park against a resurgent Newcastle.
Frank will also be tasked to maintain unity within the dressing room and continue steering the ship with leadership and authority. Several senior players are said to be unsure of their roles and responsibilities during games.
December fixtures will play a huge role in Frank’s future with Tottenham expected to face Newcastle, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace.
