But I think when you look at Brentford now, you take a step back and go, told all the best players, have a rookie manager in Keith Andrews, they're sixth, around sixth or seventh in the league, playing much better football.

And so maybe Thomas Frank wasn't this sort of messiah for Brentford.

I'm not taking it away, he did a good job there.

But maybe this job at Tottenham is just too big for him.

And I know there's a lot of injuries.

I know he's got a head case as a captain who's now got three games left of a ban.

I understand all that.

But there's been scenarios at the start of the season or just after the decent start of the season where the players, Spence and Van de Ven, you remember, they were ignoring him coming off the pitch.

Something's not right.

And it seems to me as well that these players...

as well as the supporters, might be quite happy to hang Thomas Frank out to dry.

That's the way it seems to me.

Because how can you play so poorly in so many first 45 minutes of games?

They have to find ways to grind out some clean sheets.

Points matter.

And they got one today, but it could have been three.

But as it goes along, you have to be able to get out of the relegation zone.

Yeah, wins are great.

Of course they are.

But you have to be out of these games where you're getting a bit of a battering.
