Tottenham held to a 0-0 draw against Brentford.
Tottenham Hotspur started 2026 with a disappointing result. They faced Brentford on Thursday and struggled offensively, ending the match in a 0-0 draw. Before the game, Thomas Frank, former Brentford head coach, visited the pitch, which was warmly received by the home fans. Frank had previously led Brentford back to the Premier League and earned respect for defeating top teams during his tenure. However, during the 85th minute of the match, he faced criticism from fans chanting “Boring, boring Tottenham.”
Thomas Frank comments on Spurs’ performance
Tottenham has had difficulties with creativity this season. Despite signing players like Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, and Mathys Tel, their impact has been limited. The team also missed James Maddison and Dominic Solanke due to injuries. Spurs struggled to create chances against Brentford. After the match, Frank responded to the boos from fans, emphasizing the need for understanding of the team’s current position.
During the post-match press conference, Frank addressed the fan reactions:
“Of course it was tough to hear; we’d prefer to have everyone happy and winning 3-0. It’s important to understand where we are right now as a team and club. That’s the clear reality. We have to adapt, and we’re working on improving our goal-scoring. Given the number of games and limited training, it’s part of our challenge.”
He added:
“It’s hard to respond to a few boos. I’m not focused on social media or articles. I’m watching the team closely and I know we’re not where we should be.”
Spurs were missing nine players for various reasons. While there is pressure on the Danish manager, he believes that the club management understands the challenges facing the team at this moment.
