Former Scotland captain Rachel Corsie told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast that Tottenham are not fulfilling their potential under boss Thomas Frank after late defeat at Bournemouth:
"I don't think, at either end, they're showing the levels that we know some of those players are capable of.
"Someone like Cristian Romero - we've seen many times the passion he shows, he's a charismatic character but [Antoine] Semenyo gets the ball on the edge of the box and what's he likely to do? He's going to shoot because he's a forward and he's very much on form. There's not enough intensity to identify the danger.
"Those are simple things that, when you've seen Thomas Frank's teams play elsewhere, you know he demands a certain standard of how they press the ball. You see little things like that and it's hard to understand where those little habits come from.
"It's not singling Romero out, it's just an individual example of what I saw [in the Bournemouth game]. But all these little habits, for some reason, seem to be consistent things that linger around Spurs."
Former Premier League goalkeeper Shay Given agreed, recognising the pressure Frank will be experiencing:
"I think he's a really good manager and coach. I said last season that when the big jobs came up, he was never linked with them. Now he's in that position, he's in a big job and at a big club.
"He can't go home, put his head on the pillow and have a good eight hours' sleep. He'll be tossing and turning all night for the next training session and the next game."
