Once again, it feels like Thomas Frank is on the brink.
Despite Cristian Romero's late equaliser, he and his Tottenham team were booed off by the away end after a 2-2 draw at Burnley - the continuation of a backing track that looks unlikely to stop any time soon.
Spurs fans appear almost universal in their displeasure at the football being offered up, and it is hard to look beyond his next defeat being his last.
They are simply not creating the quality of chances to win games. Only Sunderland (23.12) and the bottom two of Wolves (20.69) and Burnley (19.93) have created less than Spurs' expected goals (xG) of 23.95.
Frank's Brentford were setup to feed the ball to their fast and direct attackers - such as Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa - as quickly as possible, and finished the 2024-25 season with the league's eighth-best xG.
Whereas he previously has forward players he could rely upon to provide consistent output, Spurs' highest Premier League goalscorer this season is Richarlison with seven.
Joint second with four each are the central defensive pairing of Romero and Micky van de Ven, while none of offensive summer signings Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani has scored more than twice in the league.
To address the balance, Frank has tried to build a solid defence to provide the bedrock to win Premier league points, but this only makes him more vulnerable to criticism from the fanbase when results do not follow.
Only Wolves (7) and Everton (12) have made fewer that Tottenham's Opta-defined 13 fast breaks so far this campaign, in sharp contrast to Keith Andrews' Brentford who lead the division on 43.
A midweek win over Borussia Dortmund and a late equaliser at Burnley on Saturday may show the players have not downed tools on Frank, but they remain inconsistent and ill-disciplined.
Despite not picking up any at Turf Moor, Spurs have received the most cards in the Premier League this season - 60 (58 yellows and two reds).
Yellows for tactical fouls to stop fast breaks and for game management to see through results are an inevitable by-products of the modern game, but such a tally in such a poor season shows a frustration and lack of control.
This is not a squad of players who have turned on their manager, but it is one that lacks identity, direction and, above all, belief.
