""It's not perfect, we want to be a free-flowing team," Frank told reporters on Friday. "We are working very hard on the offensive part of the game. I understand the frustration and I share it too. There are a few things we need to improve on and one of those is losing the ball through unforced errors, which happened 25 times [against Brentford]. I showed those 25 clips to the players today.""
""The next thing is getting the right patterns, structure and getting in the right positions. That is my responsibility with the coaches and I take that. The third thing is that we still lack some very important offensive players who have been out for a while, but I am getting sick and tired of naming them. That is where we are right now.""
Thomas Frank accepts supporter frustration about Tottenham's subdued attacking form and acknowledges shortcomings. Tottenham sit 12th after a goalless draw with Brentford, producing nine shots and 0.86 xG in that match. Through 19 matchdays Spurs have 18.1 xG and 185 shots, ranking among the league's lowest. Frank identifies three priorities: reduce unforced turnovers (25 against Brentford), implement the right patterns, structure and positioning, and regain key offensive players currently absent. Frank describes the current play as boring but commits to preparing an attacking, intense, front-footed display against Sunderland.
