Alasdair Gold has blasted Tottenham Hotspur and Thomas Frank for their performance in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday night.
Spurs were beaten by a first-half strike by Brazilian forward Joao Pedro, following a Micky Van de Ven error, as they struggled to create any clear-cut chances in the game.
The north London side have won just once at home in the top flight this season, and have lost each of their last five games against rivals Chelsea, which sparked loud boos at the full-time whistle.
'Awful' and 'Appalling' Tottenham Blasted
Spurs created just a single shot on target, and but for an inspired performance by Guglielmo Vicario in goal the Lilywhites could have been on the end of a much heavier and more severe defeat on the night.
That led to Gold, a journalist for Football London, blasting the team for their performance and labelling them as 'awful' and 'appalling' after the final whistle was blown.
"Boos around the stadium at full time from the Spurs fans. That was awful.
"The hosts barely laid a glove on Chelsea. Appalling as the home side, and only Vicarion prevented a far heavier defeat."
Spurs currently sit third in the Premier League despite their mixed start to the campaign, but it's clear there are big frustrations from within the fan base about what they are seeing on the pitch.
The team will take on FC Copenhagen at home in the Champions League in midweek before another home clash against Manchester United next weekend. After the international break, Spurs will face off against Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Fulham and Newcastle in their next four.
More negative football and poor results will surely add pressure to Frank in the dugout, and it's clear that even the media are starting to pick up on the fact things are not going as planned for the new man in charge.
