The honeymoon announced its end with resounding boos throughout the Tottenham Hotspur stadium yesterday afternoon. Thomas the Frank Engine’s tactics that saw us dispatch Scott Parker’s opening Burnley game with some ease, then pivot to contain and ruin Manchester City’s day last weekend, were all at sea yesterday.
Unsurprisingly, Frank referenced not just poor defending, but something particularly notable against City, which was the opposite of what we saw against City, where we won duels and second balls.
The resounding issue that clearly needs to be addressed is why Spurs consistently lose games ahead of international breaks.
