Under-pressure Thomas Frank is reportedly "working very, very hard" to reverse Tottenham Hotspur's recent slump in form, as pressure mounts on the manager. The team's struggles have seen them drop to 14th in the Premier League, a position far below the expectations for a club of Tottenham's stature.

Frank's efforts to build "something unbelievable" at Tottenham, including a "strong culture, strong organization, strong structure," are underway, but the team's inconsistent performances have led to increased scrutiny. The manager, who took over the reins seven months ago, is now facing "significant internal scrutiny," according to reports, with at least one member of the club's executive team discussing the possibility of ending his tenure.

Spurs have managed just seven victories in 22 games this season, a statistic that has not gone unnoticed by the Tottenham faithful. The fans made their feelings known during the recent 2-2 draw against Burnley, chanting "We want Frank out" and "You're getting sacked in the morning". The result against Burnley followed a 2-1 defeat to West Ham, further intensifying the pressure on the manager.

Frank acknowledged the fans' frustrations, stating that "you'd prefer everyone is happy and we're winning 3-0". However, he also emphasized the need for a "transparent view" of the team's current situation and the importance of understanding the defensive side of the game.

Despite the challenges, Frank remains focused on improving the team "bit by bit". He pointed to the recent 2-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League as a sign of the team's potential. However, he admitted that producing consistent performances every few days is the key to achieving their goals.

Tottenham's struggles have been attributed to a combination of factors, including injuries to key players such as Xavi Simons, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski. Frank has also emphasized the need for the team to be "better on the ball" and to develop a "more offensive threat".

Despite the external pressure, Frank maintains that he feels supported by the club. He reiterated that building a successful team "will take time" and that he is committed to making the right decisions for the future of the club.

As Tottenham prepares for their next Premier League match against Burnley, Frank is undoubtedly aware of the importance of securing a positive result. The manager will need to draw on all his experience and tactical acumen to navigate this challenging period and turn the tide for the underperforming Spurs.

In the meantime, speculation about Frank's future continues to swirl. Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has emerged as an early favorite among bookmakers to potentially replace Frank, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Thomas Frank can weather the storm and lead Tottenham Hotspur back to calmer waters.
