Things are going very well under Thomas Frank, according to Tottenham winger Wilson Odobert, who believes the club is heading in the right direction under the Danish manager.
Since replacing Ange Postecoglou in the summer, Thomas Frank has looked to make his mark in north London with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Dane has diverted from the free-flowing attacking football that was synonymous with Postecoglou, instead opting for a more pragmatic approach.
His style has brought mixed opinions, but it is yielding results as Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League table, having won five games, drawn three and lost three.
The north London side looks solid, though not as fluid going forward, as Frank continues to stamp his tactical identity on the team.
Wilson Odobert insists things are going very well under Frank at Tottenham
The style of play remains the biggest talking point under Thomas Frank, but Tottenham winger Wilson Odobert has made it clear that things are going very well behind the scenes.
Odobert has featured for just 679 minutes in all competitions so far this season and has begun to find his rhythm of late, registering a goal and an assist in his last two outings for Tottenham.

Speaking to RMC Sport ahead of the international break, where he joined up with the France U21 side, the 20-year-old gave an insight into how the players are responding to Frank’s methods. “It is going very well. Honestly, he has a good work ethic,” Odobert said.
“I think everyone is happy with him. He has some good game plans. So, it is top-notch. We have a style of play. A little different, but I think it is still a good style of play. So, there you have it. After that, we always have to try to find depth to add variety.”
What the Spurs higher ups think of Frank’s start so far
Tottenham supporters have not been entirely convinced with Frank’s tactical setup, with sections of the home crowd expressing frustration in recent fixtures.
The Dane and his team were booed at full-time after the Chelsea match, while his decision to substitute Xavi Simons for Mathys Tel in the clash against Manchester United also drew audible disapproval.
Tottenham fans expect more attacking intent from Frank, though Clinton Morrison recently claimed that Spurs fans may never see the same brand of football that Postecoglou brought to the club.
