Tottenham Hotspur supporters delivered a frank verdict to their under-pressure head coach during the match against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.

Thomas Frank's side suffered their third straight defeat across all competition, losing 2-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to the struggling Hammers.

Spurs were behind in the first half due to a strike from Crysencio Summerville before Cristian Romero equalised the contest.

However, there was a late twist in the offing in the capital, with out-of-favour striker Callum Wilson netting the winning goal for West Ham.

Losing their ninth Premier League fixture of the term last time out, Frank's side have dropped further into the bottom half of the standings.

The Lilywhites face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night before travelling to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.

Tottenham's Frank responds to supporter chants

During the defeat to West Ham last time out, the Tottenham Hotspur supporters delivered a brutal message by the way of chanting to their under-pressure head coach.

Large stretches of the North London ground's South Stand were held singing directly at the Danish manager: “You're getting sacked in the morning”.

Rather inevitably, Spurs boss Frank was quizzed about the chants following the defeat during his post-match press conference.

“Of course, I probably have had better times. I understand – I'm the man in charge, so the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense,” said Frank on Saturday evening.

“As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can to support them and drive them forward, and we will keep going forward.”

Frank thrown to the side

Just 22 games into his Premier League reign at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Frank has been thrown to the side by both supporters and players alike.

Only a few weeks ago, players were seen snubbing the offer of a handshake from the head coach after a sobering defeat.

Now heading towards the end of January, it appears as if the majority of Spurs fans have turned against the Danish boss.

FGG says: Lack of respect is shocking

After finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, Tottenham supporters are seemingly set on their team having the god-given right to challenge at the top of the division once again.

This simply is not the case, and with Frank showing his capability as a coach at Brentford, maybe the fans need to be a bit more patient.
