The house defeat is not at all an unusual phenomenon within the troubled Tottenham Hotspur period of Thomas Frank – however a house defeat to a staff that had not received away all season within the Premier League spells even larger bother for the person in cost.

It simply will get worse and worse for who has three defeats in a row now and located this newest to Fulham the toughest to elucidate. His goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was booed by his personal followers, after which later was the topic of ironic cheers. When the Spurs gamers gathered on the finish, they did in order in the event that they had been underneath siege from their very own help and maybe for a lot of strolling off the pitch it felt like precisely that.
Spurs conceded twice inside the opening six minutes and by no means recovered. Fulham had beforehand taken only a single level on the street all season, towards Brighton within the August opener. Later Frank would say those that booed Vicario “can’t be true Tottenham followers”. It’s a harmful recreation for any supervisor to play to determine whose loyalty has benefit and whose doesn’t, particularly one with as little credit score within the financial institution as him.
Secure to say it was all going flawed for Frank, earlier than a post-match outburst from Pedro Porro that appeared to be geared toward a fan. Frank’s staff are tenth now and their solely house Premier League win this season was again on the primary day of the season towards Burnley.

Lose that and it’s exhausting to see Frank being in place for the return fixture on New Yr’s Day.
Silva’s staff had been wonderful, particularly Samuel Chukwueze, the winger on mortgage from AC Milan who was a key determine in a blistering begin. He created the primary deflected objective for Kenny Tete.

Mohammed Kudus, again within the XI after being dropped in Paris, scored a effective second half objective, struck with the skin of his left foot, however Spurs’ momentum flagged after that.
Silva’s staff had been wonderful in taking the sting out of Spurs. Frank continues to be lacking many key gamers with damage however that didn’t alter the truth that this was a dismal efficiency.

Actually the very worst of it was within the early levels for Spurs when Porro and Kevin Danso appeared overwhelmed by easy lengthy balls excessive. “I feel the staff was a little bit bit shell shocked after the 2 objectives,” Frank mentioned of a aspect which have simply three house wins in the middle of 2025.
“There’s nothing that the gamers, I, everybody need to get the win right here,” Frank mentioned. “Nothing we wish extra. And I hope the followers can see that they had been working on the market at this time, giving the whole lot. However soccer is so lovely and complicated … and typically it’s simply extra robust.”
There are all flavours of half-time boos at Spurs, which actually is the place to listen to for the complete vary of expressions of dismay from house supporters.

That second objective was on Guglielmo Vicario. The goalkeeper had given it away out on the precise. The 18-year-old Josh King had received the ball and his cross to Wilson was formed superbly by the Welshman’s left foot into the objective that Vicario had left empty.
Two objectives all the way down to a membership that had taken only a single level away from house all season, and the house followers may barely include their disgust. Frank couldn’t disguise his shock. Chukwueze would hit the publish simply previous ten minutes. Shortly after that when Vicario made a easy clearance up the pitch the house help cheered paradoxically. Nothing may have demonstrated the dysfunctional relationship between gamers and followers extra clearly.
