Tottenham Hotspur have come under scrutiny following their 4-1 loss to arch-rivals Arsenal over the weekend.

Manager Thomas Frank has rightly borne most of the blame. His tactics have been questioned, and his constant chopping and changing is also an issue.

Only Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea have made more changes to their starting XI this season than Tottenham.

According to journalist Matt Law, Tottenham officials fear he is making life hard for himself by making too many changes to his team.

Some Spurs players reportedly also want the manager to focus on their strengths rather than the opposition.

The Tottenham hierarchy is backing Frank and will give him enough time to transmit his ideas. There are no plans to sack him.

Tottenham lacks identity

The deeper issue isn’t the rotation, it’s the absence of a clear, cohesive tactical identity.

Chopping and changing only becomes a problem when there’s nothing solid underpinning it, and Frank’s approach feels far too reactive.

Tottenham adjust to opponents instead of imposing themselves, drifting from game to game without a recognisable structure or attacking blueprint.

That is why the football looks muddled and why players are asking for a system that maximises their strengths rather than masks their weaknesses.

Until Tottenham define who they want to be on the pitch, no amount of team stability will fix the underlying drift.
