Tottenham were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United as Bryan Mbuemo and Bruno Fernandes scored the game’s only goals.
Thomas Frank is desperate for a Premier League win with his team set to face Newcastle in the latest round of matches this midweek.
Tottenham haven’t won a game in the Premier League since December, when a 1-0 win was secured over Crystal Palace.
Fill in the blank: It is _______ that Thomas Frank is STILL the manager of Tottenham Hotspur
The situation is going to become untenable for Frank if Spurs slip any closer towards the relegation zone, and a win is badly needed this week.
After Saturday’s defeat to Manchester United, Ally McCoist has taken a swipe at one star player for his efforts during the latest setback.
Ally McCoist bashes Cristian Romero after latest red card
Death, taxes, and Cristian Romero getting sent off and suspended for Tottenham!
The Argentine has been up to his old tricks again, and his shocking challenge on Casemiro saw Spurs lose the initiative against United, and now the team will be without him for four games.

The defender isn’t learning any lessons from these red cards, and although Guglielmo Vicario said Romero apologised, McCoist wasn’t sharing such a positive view on his behaviour.
He said on TalkSPORT: “I’m watching that game this weekend and I think the skipper should hang his head in shame by the way for the red card.
“I can’t believe it’s split, the decision is all about opinions, but every ex-professional that I’ve spoken to says it’s a red card, he knows what he’s doing, exactly what he’s doing. He doesn’t need to follow through; it’s absolutely madness.
“At that point, Tottenham weren’t playing badly, but that’s just killed their chances. Tottenham are now one point worse off than they were at this stage last season. Ange, I wouldn’t say, gave up on the league, but they were more focused on the Europa League.
“The two seasons domestically in the league have been shocking for Tottenham.”
Romero might lose captaincy if this continues
The Argentine player has done this far too often now and in their current state, Tottenham can’t afford to lose their leader for four matches.
It’s getting beyond a joke that he keeps getting himself sent off in big games and the repercussions afterwards in terms of missing games are not ideal.
Frank needs a leader that he can depend upon in the coming weeks as Romero serves his ban, and that certainly won’t be the Argentine as he sits in the stands.
Romero is in the last chance saloon when it comes to being the Tottenham captain and after this latest escapade, he really does owe the club dearly.
