Tottenham fans made their feelings loud and clear after witnessing a poor home loss to Fulham on Saturday night.

Spurs were the strong favourites to beat Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but they found themselves two goals down inside six minutes.

Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson were on the scoresheet for Fulham, with that the earliest Tottenham have ever found themselves two down in a home Premier League game.

Mohammed Kudus pulled one back just before the hour, but that proved as good as things got as Spurs fell to a 2-0 loss.

Guglielmo Vicario had a howler for Fulham’s second goal and was jeered throughout the game by the home fans, who also booed the whole team loudly at full-time.

The Italy international was terrible, but so to were pretty much each of his teammates. Here, Tottenham News rates each Spurs player out of 10.

Guglielmo Vicario jeered by Spurs fans after Fulham shocker

Vicario was critical of Tottenham fans earlier this month, but supporters did not hold back in telling them know their thoughts on Saturday.

After racing out of his box and scuffing a clearance, the ball was worked to Wilson to score from a tight angle.

Vicario continued to look shaky and was also sarcastically cheered when kicking the ball into touch not long after that previous howler.

The Spurs goalkeeper made one save and completed 83 per cent of his passes, while he touched the ball 26 times.

Vicario is simply not cut out to be a goalkeeper at a team with aspirations of competing for a top-four finish, and it is an area Frank needs to seriously look at.

Mohammed Kudus a rare bright spark for Tottenham

Kudus took his chance well when it arrived and helped change the mood around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which had been toxic for the previous hour.

Kudus now has two goals and four assists in 12 Premier League appearances this season. In a campaign largely full of negatives, the Ghana international has been a rare positive.

The former West Ham player also registered two key passes against Fulham – only Pedro Porro managed more with three – and he also led the way for dribbles with two to his name.

Micky van de Ven also deserves praise for keeping the scoreline down to 2-0 in the first half, but it was Kudus who made more of an impact on the game.

Guglielmo Vicario’s flaws have been on display in the first half of Tottenham’s clash with Fulham.

Tottenham are 2-0 down to Fulham at half-time, and had it not been for Micky van de Ven, it could be far, far worse for Thomas Frank’s side.

Kenny Tete opened the scoring for the visitors after four minutes, not long before Harry Wilson found the back of an empty net from distance.

Boos rang around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium immediately after, and it gives Frank a clear decision to make going forward.

Tottenham are at a disadvantage with Guglielmo Vicario

Spurs simply have not got started against the Cottagers, and while the score reflects that, it is that way mainly because of Vicario.

There was little he could have done with the opener, though Wilson’s goal arrived as a result of an absolute howler from the Italian.

A long ball met Vicario, who then decided to dribble the ball out before a woeful clearance gifted the ball back to Fulham, who took full advantage through Wilson.

Tottenham’s stats vs Fulham after 45 minutes

Spurs fans immediately voiced their concerns, which were reiterated via commentary on Sky Sports Main Event.

Bill Leslie said: “Horrific scenes at the back for Tottenham,” before Alan Smith replied: “Vicario’s getting absolute pelters from his own supporters in that South stand.

“He’s trying to be positive. All he needed to do was get a good clearance height and distance. He makes a complete hash of that. What’s that going to do for his confidence?”

Thomas Frank has to drop Guglielmo Vicario

Tottenham have a mountain to climb if they are to get anything out of this game, and Vicario will hold a lot of the blame for that.

At 1-0 down, the game is salvageable, but at 2-0, it’s difficult to see a route back into the game.

In the last two league games, Vicario has conceded 1.85 goals more than expected to FotMob, having saved four of the eight shots on target that Arsenal had last time out.

Throughout the season, his save percentage is just 70.4 per cent, which is far below average for a Premier League goalkeeper, and it may only get worse.

Last season, the Italian had a 64.8 per cent save percentage, showcasing just how weak he can be when facing shots.

Vicario is going to cost Tottenham more than he is going to save them, and Frank needs to realise that.

Tottenham squad don’t respect Thomas Frank over tactical issues claims ex-Spurs ace

Thomas Frank has failed to gain the respect of his Tottenham players because he changes tactics so frequently, claims Ramon Vega.

The Dane started strongly in charge of Spurs, pushing European champions PSG to penalties in the Super Cup, and had some impressive performances early in the Premier League.

Form has been far more inconsistent of late and November has been a bruising month, with Tottenham beaten at home by Chelsea and later thrashed by an Eberechi Eze-inspired Arsenal in the North London derby.

After Spurs were beaten 5-3 by PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday to highlight the regressions since August Vega pointed the finger at Frank.

Ramon Vega says Thomas Frank tactics are an issue

The former Tottenham defender appeared live on talkSPORT to speak to Alan Brazil, with the host highlighting issues at the Emirates to claim: “I think there’s a big question mark about tactics.”

Vega replied: “Absolutely, these answers in terms of ways of approaching the game. He’s changing his mind every two seconds. One thing with Ange [Postecoglou], whatever you pretty much criticise him [for], he might be stubborn in his own way, but he had the balls. He stuck to his guns, he’s done what he wanted.

“The players need certainty in the dressing room. That’s why, I think, when Ange was the Europa [League] with the young boys, 80% of the season was the young boys, the dressing room was sticking to him, you could see that.

“I’m not sure this dressing room is starting to respect Frank because he’s changing how and what to play etc. They don’t know where to go or what to do, they haven’t got a stable place to go.”

Brentford hard to shake for Frank

Frank seems unlikely to have stumbled upon relative success at Brentford purely by accident but, despite some growing pains, Keith Andrews has slotted in pretty easily despite it being his first job in management.

Equally, as Spurs experienced with Nuno Espirito Santo after years at Wolves, a manager that becomes synonymous with a Premier League side outside the traditional top sides may get rewarded with a step up for their next job but they better make a success of it fast.

Otherwise they will quickly encounter doubts about being able to handle a top-level dressing room and all the expectations that come with it.

It may be that Frank got so accustomed to what worked and what was a solid return at Brentford that it will take him extra time to adapt, but he’s unlikely to get it in the chaos of managing Tottenham if his side keep being beaten heavily.

More fans will likely have been infuriated by Postecoglou’s lack of tactical adaptability than will be with Frank’s over-adaptability, but what they will care most about is losing games, and the Dane is already starting to follow the Australian in doing that too much.

Archie Gray has been recognised for his impressive performance against PSG on Wednesday.

While Tottenham suffered a 5-3 away defeat to PSG in the UEFA Champions League, most fans would agree that it was one of the Lilywhites better performances this season.

In fact, some may even be as bold as to suggest that Thomas Frank likes the challenge of facing the current Champions League title holders, given Tottenham’s defeat to PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final earlier this season.

Despite losing on penalties, Spurs’ game against the Parisiens convinced fans to back Frank heading into the season.

All in all it was a decent performance from Tottenham with several standout players who captured supporters’ attention on the night.

Why Archie Gray is the answer to Thomas Frank’s midfield woes

Kolo Muani made headlines for his performance against PSG and for good reason too, given he was involved in all three goals scored against his former side.

However, Gray was one of the standouts in Spurs’ midfield and, along with Lucas Bergvall, offered an energy that was absent in their games against Chelsea and Arsenal.

As a result, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham not only believes Gray should start against Fulham, but he and Bergvall should become a staple in Spurs’ midfield moving forward.

“I really want to touch on Gray. He’s been out again for like a significant period of time,” Wenham said.

“PSG was his first game back. He was outstanding, getting a start, away in the Champions League winners for a 19-year-old. I thought he was fantastic. And I think he has to be included in the team moving forward.

“Whether we need a change of shape, starting with Fulham on Saturday. I think we do need that. We need to build on the excitement that we saw from Wednesday’s performance.”

What does Archie Gray bring to this Tottenham side?

What Gray lacks in experience, he makes up for in character, energy and talent.

He was everywhere against PSG at the Parc des Princes:

Indeed, it was a complete performance from beginning to end and one that afforded Bergvall a little more licence to roam in the final third with Gray taking on defensive duties.

Therefore, given his performance against the Parisiens and the potential of a hard-working Gray and Bergvall partnership moving forward, Frank will regret not starting both when Tottenham face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

How to watch today’s Tottenham vs Fulham match: TV channel, live stream, kick-off time

Thomas Frank will be looking to end Tottenham’s sour home form when he welcomes Fulham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Tottenham suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last Premier League matchday.

Frank was urged to issue a response when Tottenham faced PSG in the UEFA Champions League, and despite a 5-3 scoreline, the Lilywhites played with heart, which delighted fans.

As a result, the Dane will look to build on his game against the Parisiens when Spurs take on Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Tottenham vs Fulham kick-off time

Tottenham will host Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 29 November at 8pm.

Frank could opt to bench Richarlison despite his impressive display in the Champions League.

Furthermore, the striker also won five out of his seven contested aerial duels and made one recovery and clearance, according to Sofascore.

This would allow for Mohammed Kudus to be reintroduced into the fold and Xavi Simons to start in Spurs’ midfield once again.

Spurs skipper Cristian Romero will miss the confrontation after he picked up his fifth yellow card in Spurs’ defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

However, the real challenge for Frank will be getting a result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In true Spurs fashion, the club’s home form has been dreadful:

Thus, a convincing performance and home win will definitely be enough for Frank to win some fans back to his corner on Saturday.

Tottenham fans can watch their side take to the pitch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.

Furthermore, fans will also be able to tune in through the Sky Go app and Sky Ultra HD.

‘It’s pointless’ – Thomas Frank slammed over Fulham plans as Tottenham frustrations start to build

Thomas Frank has been told exactly what type of identity he should imprint onto this Tottenham side.

Frank has been heavily criticised for the Lilywhites’ performances in all competitions this season.

Fans thought things couldn’t stoop lower than Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea before Spurs’ 4-1 loss against Arsenal showed them what real humiliation felt like.

The Dane was blamed for both defeats, with fans eager to see a dramatic change in approach and mentality. Well, it seems as though supporters have finally been granted their wish.

Tottenham must continue attacking dynamic vs Fulham

Tottenham’s UEFA Champions League game against PSG ended in a 5-3 defeat at the Parc des Princes. Despite the heavy scoreline, Frank was praised for his energetic approach.

For the first time since Spurs’ 2-0 win over Manchester City, fans felt they had something to root for which is a feeling most haven’t taken for granted.

As a result, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham has warned Frank that he must not slip back to his own lethargic ways against Fulham.

“If we go to Saturday and start in the double pivot at home again, with Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur, and we’re not on the front foot and we’re not attacking, I could see it being a very negative evening inside the stadium, because people are getting frustrated,” Wenham said.

“We’ve got good players. You need to set up in a way that allows them to flourish. It’s pointless. We’re not Brentford. We’re not a team that sits back and nicks the odd goal, we’re the current Europa League winners.

“We’ve already beaten Man City away this season. We need to start playing like that. We’ve got the players to play like that, and whoever we play, we need to be taking the game to them, not worrying about what they’ve got in their team, you know?”

What was the secret against PSG?

Tottenham put up an impressive attacking display against the Ligue 1 side, even if they went on to lose the game.

The introduction of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall was a huge help. The young stars brought a level of energy that Spurs have lacked when starting some of their more senior players.

Tottenham played like a team hungry to win, rather than one who had been playing not to lose.

Therefore, fans will likely want to see a similar performance when Spurs welcome Fulham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Pape Matar Sarr was one of the biggest culprits in Tottenham’s defeat to PSG on Wednesday.

PSG beat Spurs 5-3 at the Parc des Princes in the UEFA Champions League this week, piling further pressure on manager Thomas Frank.

Randal Kolo Muani was involved in all three goals for Spurs, but even his efforts weren’t enough to spare the Lilywhites from their unwanted fate.

Cristian Romero was heavily criticised for his role in the defeat. But with all the focus on him, Sarr’s horrific display has gone under the radar.

Pape Matar Sarr’s carelessness cost Tottenham

Frank was urged to add a little more fight to his side after Tottenham’s humiliating 4-1 defeat to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Lilywhites travelled to France with a vengeance and proved a real challenge for the Parisiens.

The second half was where things went wrong for Spurs, but they could’ve gone so right:

Furthermore, Tottenham registered 1.05 expected goals to PSG’s 1.66 xG, according to Sofascore.

Frank coached a win and a performance like this against the best team in the world away from home shouldn’t be understated.

However, individual errors cost Spurs on the night with Sarr one of the main culprits behind the disappointing result.

Sarr made two errors leading to a goal in the defeat to PSG, the most of any player in a single Champions League game this season.

After such a strong start to the season, the Senegal international has struggled to maintain his excellent standards.

Fans have pointed towards his minor injury and subsequent inconsistent playing time as the reason behind his drop off.

Either way, with midfield competition at an all-time high, Sarr could find himself on the outs moving forward.

Thomas Frank has key to turn Tottenham’s season around

Sarr could very well find himself starting from the bench when Tottenham face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

There are suspicions that the Dane will revert back to a traditional 4-3-3 lineup, and his performance against the Ligue 1 side could cost him.

On top of this, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray were so incredible that there is little justification to drop them for the league clash.

“I think if you perform like they did against the European champions away from home, you’re ready to start in the Premier League,” Frank said in a recent press conference.

The duo brings an energy that Tottenham has lacked in the midfield this season and one that could transform Spurs’ attacking play and season.

Therefore, Frank may have finally stumbled upon the key to unlock his season, but it’s one that may come at the expense of Sarr.

Thomas Frank will look to get back on track in the Premier League when Tottenham face Fulham on Saturday.

Tottenham suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League last Sunday.

Former Tottenham target Eberechi Eze netted a hat-trick in what was a chaotic contest that didn’t surprise many.

Now ninth in the Premier League and looking to advance their position, Spurs will be hoping to issue a response against Marco Silva’s side on Saturday.

Tottenham’s form at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been heavily criticised as of late.

For good reason, too:

However, Spurs’ 5-3 Champions League defeat against PSG showed that Frank is eager to take risks moving forward.

This was likely a reaction to his overly-cautious approach against Arsenal.

Either way, with both teams hoping to advance their positions in the Premier League, fans can expect end-to-end action from the first whistle.

Ange Postecoglou is admired by Leeds United as pressure grows on Daniel Farke at Elland Road.

The Australian has not had a good few months in football, being sacked by both Tottenham and Nottingham Forest.

Postecoglou’s reign at Nottingham Forest was nothing short of a disaster, with the manager now holding the record for the shortest time spent at a Premier League club at just 39 days.

On top of this, Postecoglou’s reputation at Tottenham continues to take hits, as many former Spurs players find form away from the North London club.

Nevertheless, the manager could soon find himself back at work in the top-flight.

Leeds consider Ange Postecoglou

Elsewhere in the Premier League and Leeds United are struggling.

The West Yorkshire club are on a terrible streak, losing five of their last six matches.

As a result, pressure is heaping on Farke, with Leeds now in the relegation zone as their form continues to spiral.

Now, talkSPORT on 27 November has claimed that if Farke were to be relieved of his duties, Postecoglou would be considered for the role.

The report states that the Australian has “admirers” at Elland Road, despite his terrible stint at the City Ground.

Leeds are offering no assurances over their manager’s future which could open the door for the former Tottenham manager.

However, it is unclear whether Postecoglou would take the job, given that it could be his third in five months.

Postecoglou continues to attract Premier League interest

On top of Leeds, Fulham have also been linked with Postecoglou in recent weeks amid speculation surrounding Marco Silva’s future.

It is clear that the Australian is not short of potential suitors despite his quick successive sackings.

However, whether he will find success at a club like Leeds is another question.

Another failure could do irreparable damage to his reputation in the Premier League, especially if he oversees the Peacocks’ relegation.

Richarlison’s place in Thomas Frank’s starting lineup could be in doubt when Tottenham take on Fulham this weekend.

Tottenham suffered a 4-1 defeat against rivals Arsenal in the Premier League last Saturday.

Former Spurs target Eberechi Eze scored a hat-trick and a wonder goal from Richarlison in the second half wasn’t enough to keep them in the game.

After such a humiliating result, Frank will be looking to secure all three points when Spurs welcome Fulham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.

Richarlison dropped despite promising performance vs PSG

Similar to the UEFA Super Cup final, Tottenham showed promise in their 5-3 defeat to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Randal Kolo Muani was incredible against his parent club:

Furthermore, he completed 100 per cent of his dribbles and made four recoveries, according to Sofascore.

As a result, the France international should retain his spot in the starting lineup with Wilson Odobert and Mohammed Kudus alongside him.

The reintroduction of Odobert and Kudus would see Frank revert to a 4-3-3 formation. This would see Richarlison dropped despite his impressive performance against PSG, which’ll likely surprise fans.

Meanwhile, Archie Gray also looks set to return to the bench despite being another player who shone in the Champions League.

Lucas Bergvall will likely retain his spot against Fulham, with Joao Palhinha replacing Rodrigo Bentancur and Xavi Simons coming in for Pape Matar Sarr to complete Tottenham’s midfield.

Spurs skipper Cristian Romero was atrocious against PSG:

It was a performance unworthy of a captain, and after receiving a fifth yellow against Arsenal, Kevin Danso should replace the key Tottenham man on Saturday.

Destiny Udogie will likely replace Djed Spence, who was also poor, while Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario could retain their starting spots.

Thomas Frank must coach a convincing win

Ironically, Tottenham’s defeat to PSG may have brought Frank a little more time with both fans and Spurs’ hierarchy.

The Dane coached a win, but the Parisians’ individual brilliance and a Romero disaster-class thwarted his efforts.

Even so, PSG are the current champions of Europe and fans were heading into the game with low expectations.

The real test will be against Fulham, who have been struggling more than the Lilywhites this season.

If Spurs were to attack similarly against Fulham as they did PSG and actually secure a convincing win, there will no doubt be a renewed sense of optimism around Frank in North London.
