Tottenham Hotspur forward Wilson Odobert has offered his public backing to manager Thomas Frank. He believes that things will click under him completely before too long.
RMC Sport have an interview with the Tottenham man today. They were speaking to him ahead of the international break, where he’ll be with the France U21 side.
He’s been a regular for Tottenham this season, with 14 games played and 680 minutes in total. That means he’s been a regular in a solid, if somewhat unremarkable start to life under Thomas Frank.
The manager replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer and was tasked with getting Tottenham back to the right end of the Premier League table after a 17th placed finish last season.
That’s on course for now, with Tottenham in 5th place after five wins, three draws and three losses in 11 games to date. There have been some rumblings of discontent despite that, but Odobert wants to play those down.
“Going very well” under Frank at Tottenham
“It’s going very well. Honestly, he has a good work ethic,” he said.
“I think everyone is happy with him. He has some good game plans. So, it’s top-notch. We have a style of play. A little different, but I think it’s still a good style of play. So, there you have it. After that, we always have to try to find depth to add variety.”
The difference between home result and away results has certainly been stark. Tottenham are unbeaten on the road this season, winning four and drawing once. At home, they’ve won one, lost three and drawn two of their six games.
That’s a situation which has to change. Odobert accepts as much but thinks it will come together eventually.
“I think it will all come together little by little,” he added.
“If you look closely at our matches, we’re not playing badly. And when we lose, it’s really close. A bit of a mixed bag because if you look at away games, I think we’re the best away team. So, there you have it, we just need to confirm that at home.
“And with our fans, I think that will come together little by little. So, we’re feeling confident, we have a good feeling about us, and I think the chances we create will come with time. We shouldn’t force things; we just need to let time take its course, and everyone should work hard.”
