Frank confirmed it was "all good" for the players that featured in Tottenham's win against Everton on Sunday and added: "Dom [Solanke] stepped forward, step by step. Cuti [Cristian Romero] on the pitch today, not a timeframe. Destiny [Udogie] on the pitch as well today, so three steps forward."
On being better away from home: "It's a relatively small sample. Hopefully at the end of the year it's fantastic away and home. It's a team that's still finding each other, the way we're building we have 14 games with one bad performance against Bournemouth, second half against Wolves and second half against Monaco. In general we're building."
He said it is "very clear that we are in this game because we love it" when asked whether trophies were set as a target when he took over, adding: "At a club like Tottenham, we do everything we can to win. We're trying to win every tournament we're playing in. Playing against a strong team [in Newcastle], the holders, it's a very difficult place to play but we'll do everything to compete, win and progress."
The Spurs boss added: "To get to win a trophy, that's very difficult. To sustain it is even harder, but that's the aim. The players here had a fantastic experience last year and are very eager to win again. We are going for it."
On defender Micky van de Ven: "He's been brilliant for the club since he signed. He's taken his game up a level, he's still very good on the ball and he added headed goals. He's a threat from set-pieces. We have a good contract for him but definitely a player with a big future here."
He said the team's set-piece coach Andreas Georgson "is doing a top job" and that his players are "really committed" to improving in this area: "We need to be good in every aspects of the game, but set pieces have created a third of all goals I think. So not to spend time on it, be super-focused on details, then defending and attacking those is a major strength and I'm really happy with how we are doing there."
