Alan Shearer cannot understand Tottenham’s identity under Thomas Frank
Alan Shearer believes that Tottenham Hotspur’s team is much better than what they are currently showing under Thomas Frank.
The former Premier League striker has slammed the fact that Spurs do not have a clear style of play, and can understand the supporters’ frustrations.

“I don’t know whether they’re a sitting team, whether they want to hit you on the break or if they’re a pressing team. It’s like I don’t know, I guess that’s how the Spurs fans feel as well.
“When you look at their team yesterday, Van de Ven and Romero, they’ve got their goalkeeper, they’ve got Porro, they’ve got their two midfielders in Gray and Conor Gallagher, a new signing. Then forward-wise, the players out on the pitch should be doing a lot more and a lot better.

“I know they’ve got Maddison, Kulusevski, and Solanke just coming back, but you should be seeing a lot more than what you’re getting from Tottenham. He looks really tired, and it’s really hurting him.”

The Lewis Family wanted to give Frank time at Tottenham; however, it is quickly looking like they are going to part ways with the Danish head coach.
