"I think it's three different games. I think the United game was a much better performance than today and the Chelsea one. I also think there's a difference in the Chelsea and the Arsenal performances. Even though both of them look bad on paper. I need to watch this back as well."
"I think there's definitely a lot to work on still. I think it's fair to say that we are very disappointed and unhappy with the performance today. I don't want to run away from that. I apologise to the fans. I think it's also fair to say where we're coming from. We finished 17th last year. And we've tried to build something, which today didn't look like we tried to build something."
"I'm a very big believer that no matter what system you play you can be successful. I completely understand the question and I will always take the full responsibility. The full responsibility will always be on me today when we didn't perform."
Tottenham suffered a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal with Eberechi Eze scoring a hat-trick and Leandro Trossard opening the scoring; Richarlison scored Spurs' lone goal. Spurs deployed a five-man defence, registered just two shots and recorded an expected goals total of 0.07, the lowest in the Premier League this season. Tottenham have taken one point from nine against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. Thomas Frank apologised to supporters, acknowledged major issues and accepted responsibility while rejecting the notion that the defensive system alone caused the defeat and defended the principle that any system can be successful.
