Yes, a "Frank" discussion is in order. I think that will occur and it is understandable he would downplay it after the match. You can't make decisions about disciplinary issues off the cuff immediately after. It's a tough call because putting yourself down two players for a game would make bad matters worse. Then again, the club can't just ignore it.
2 of your best players as well, one of whom you made captain. It’s not good.
 
Players understandably upset after a poor performance and a defeat react poorly, not the end of the world and sure it will be handled, rather see that than players laughing with opposition players who may be friends after a defeat.
 
Didn't like getting boo'ed i presume
I will never understand the booing.

How on earth does that lift and motivate a team?!

Unfortunately I had to spend quite a few games in the home section at Anfield accompanying my pool supporting step son and the way they support their team is very stark in comparison to our fanbase. This was pre-Klopp times so we witnessed some pretty bad performances.

Agreed I don't boo but I suppose its a way of universally telling the team, manager ect how dissatisfied they are.
 
I wish people would stop saying its better they were pissed off as if that absolves them of their behaviour.

I still think it was a disgraceful thing to do. You can show your pissed off without being a cunt - to your manager in public.

I'm sick of some of these guys to be honest. In a privileged position making millions and they've no fucking manners or common decency.

It's everything that's wrong with the game, and more specifically the rotten culture that exists at Tottenham. Players are too comfortable with no pressure - Conte was bang on

Stop making fucking excuses for them and call it for what it is.

VDV shouldn't wear the armband again, without a sincere apology.

I'm normally someone who defends the players and I don't think fans booing and going after players on social media accomplishes anything. But after I saw that video I don't care if either player ever wears a Spurs jersey again.
There's 20 players I'd like to leave the club and these two wouldnt even make that list but yeah lets get rid and keep Tel and Richy because they're happy to play Frank's shite football.

It shows a level of emotional immaturity which is not uncommon at his age and if anything more prominent because of the unbringing of a professional footballer. Not captain material by any means and could do with a week on site trying to lay wet bricks as a lesson

It's dumb mob behaviour. One of the worst things about people is the ability to come together and be a mob.

I have the same annoyance with Strictly (the mrs watches it), when they nobs in the audience loudly "boo" any time Craig tells someone how they can improve. They seem to want the judges to tell everyone they were amazing and gift out 10s.

I can't help but feel like a lot of people go to the games like they are owed some cathartic therapy, as some people do nothing but whinge and moan constantly, to the point where I wonder why they even bother going
