everything you write seems well considered, mature and correct. are you sure you are in the right forum?You can't look at Spurs and think Frank's system works, except that it has worked in the Premier League with Brentford and it is scoring goals there even this season (they haven't changed much system wise). Logically, what's different with Spurs? At Brentford Frank had strong strikers, Mbeumo (who was good at linkup play, and Mikkel Damsgaard as a playmaking midfielder. Maybe it is as simple as that Frank's system needs three things to work that, at least for now, Spurs don't have. I suppose if you want to run Frank's system you have a better chance with strong players at those roles.
But the front line hasn't this season and muani is what 3 games inWe look like a team that have never played together before, that’s damming.
It’s not rocket science. The league is more balanced than ever and we are also in the CL where we hardly belong,Thomas Frank (football manager) - Wikipedia

Frank's win ratio so far with Spurs is 36.36
It's presently the lowest win ratio of all Spurs managers in the 21st century.

We replaced those missing players with players who should be as good. Kudus for Kulusevski, Simons for Maddison and Muani for solanke. They probably aren't as good bar Kudus but its still not an excuse for Frank.We look shit. Frank's only defence is 1) he took over from an absolutely clown manager 2) numerous key players in attack are missing.

That's what managing us will make you become. Plus those hounds from the media. The replies will get more and more prickly.lol reading his comments from today’s presser. He just seems a right knob.
He’ll give an update on Deki and Solanke when he has an update. Tel and Xavi apparently train well etc.
A month ago both were close. The media and the fans want to know what’s going on.That's what managing us will make you become. Plus those hounds from the media. The replies will get more and more prickly.

Simons and Maddison with both ACLs aren’t even close. Maybe one day but Simons is bullied too easily now. Our lack of creativity is very clear.We replaced those missing players with players who should be as good. Kudus for Kulusevski, Simons for Maddison and Muani for solanke.

Simons look like a flop. Muani just recently returned. Kudus was a good signing.We replaced those missing players with players who should be as good. Kudus for Kulusevski, Simons for Maddison and Muani for solanke. They probably aren't as good bar Kudus but its still not an excuse for Frank.
Its boring to keep losing under both mangers.
The game on Saturday is huge. I said this last week about the Fulham game and it really couldn't have gone any worse. I think the Fulham game was the turning point where most fans realised that Frank probably isn't the right man and its only a matter of time before we move on. However, the Brentford game on Saturday might well be the nail in the coffin. The embarrassment of losing at home to his former club would be too much for anyone to tolerate. I think even Frank would be questioning himself if that happened.
Football is a funny game too. A win at home to Brentford followed by what should be a routine win at home to Slavia Prague then all of a sudden Frank and spurs have some momentum for the first time in weeks. There is still a chance that Frank can turn this around but it needs to start with a win this weekend!
