Danny Murphy column: ‘The Thomas Frank impact’ – however is there extra to come back from Spurs?


I do not imagine Tottenham’s​ present id is about in stone as a result of we noticed how Brentford advanced beneath him over a variety of seasons and he’s solely simply getting began right here.

After they first got here into the Premier League, Brentford had a really direct type and have been additionally fairly apparent or predictable in what they did.

For those who watched them final season, although, it was a very completely different strategy. They performed out from the again by way of Christian Norgaard and though they may combine it up, they weren’t a one-trick pony.

This Tottenham staff goes to evolve too, however at the start Frank has given them a strong base like he had early on at Brentford. For instance, with the best way their full-backs keep at residence somewhat bit extra, somewhat than flying up the pitch like they did beneath Ange Postecoglou.

We noticed that on Sunday, the place once more Spurs obtained a little bit of criticism for sitting again and alluring Everton on to them within the second half.

There have been instances after I was considering to myself, ‘come on, get out of your half since you are placing your self beneath stress’, however it’s a must to contemplate what had gone earlier than that recreation.

Spurs had gone away from residence within the Champions League on Wednesday and held on for expensive life for a draw in opposition to Monaco.
