Gabriel Agbonlahor has criticised Thomas Frank and a Tottenham Hotspur star in the wake of the 2-1 defeat against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Frank under major pressure after Fulham defeat
Spurs remain without a Premier League win on home soil since defeating Burnley 3-0 on the opening day of the season, following the 2-1 loss against the Cottagers at the weekend, which saw Frank's fall down to 12th place, having now lost as many games as they've won.
The Dane is under major pressure after the latest setback, with it being revealed that former Barcelona manager Xavi is now under serious consideration as a replacement, and a move could be made if there is not an improvement in results by the end of this month.
That said, some of the blame has to lie with the players, according to Agbonlahor, who recently said live on talkSPORT that Frank's men need to start stepping up to the plate, and the pundit was particularly unimpressed with the start Xavi Simons has made to life in north London.
The former Aston Villa striker said: "A lot's got to change, Jeff. Players have got to start turning up. Xavi Simons has got to come to the table and start performing.
"You never know what Spurs' starting team is going to be. Looks very confused doesn't he? Sometimes it's five-at-the-back, then it looks like it's a diamond, then now it's Bergvall off the left."
Simons needs to step up sooner rather than later
Of course, any player in their debut Premier League season should be given time to adapt, but Simons needs to start showing signs of improvement very soon, given that he is yet to score for Tottenham, and has registered just two assists in 15 matches in all competitions.
The Dutchman was benched against Fulham, but didn't make much of an impact after replacing Richarlison on the hour mark, failing to register a single key pass or create a big chance.
Some Spurs players are also already starting to have doubts about Frank, as they believe the 52-year-old makes too many changes to his attack and focuses on the opposition too much, and the manager will need to start improving results quickly before he loses the dressing room entirely.
