Thomas Frank trying to build for ‘long run’ amid Spurs struggles | OneFootball

Thomas Frank says he wants to build something that lasts at Spurs as he looks to turn around the club’s fortunes in the Premier League. 

Tottenham extended their winless run in all competitions to three games on Wednesday night when they fell 5-3 to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.

The Lilywhites have only won three of their last ten matches, but Frank was pleased with how his team responded to their recent poor performances by taking the game to PSG.

“That’s the beauty of it,” he said in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s game against Fulham. “We are facing a completely different game. A game we will hopefully be more on the ball to open Fulham up.

“Fulham don’t have the points they want but they have performed well and been unlucky. It will be a different challenge but one we are up for.

“I am pleased with the performance and response we got from the players against PSG. I think the aggression in the high pressure, the forwardness and intensity should have earned us a point or points against PSG but some randomness and game management meant we didn’t. That is what we have to learn from.

“Every decision I take is to win the next game but also for the long run. If you can’t build something that lasts it doesn’t matter. That’s what it’s all about.”
