Tottenham Players Snub Manager After Home Loss Amid Fan Boos

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank addressed the incident after their 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea where defenders Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence appeared to snub him by ignoring his attempt to speak and walking straight down the tunnel. Despite the players' actions, Frank downplayed the situation as a minor issue, attributing it to the players' frustration over poor performances and results, noting they are doing everything they can this season. Tottenham were booed off after a dismal performance, producing just one shot on target and suffering a third home loss in seven matches under Frank, who has yet to solve the club's struggles at home. The defeat extended Chelsea's dominance over Spurs, marking their tenth win in twelve meetings, and increased pressure on Frank amid growing fan dissatisfaction with the team's style and results. Frank emphasized the difficulty of consistency in both good and bad times and expressed understanding of the supporters' frustration, while also highlighting his own gesture of thanking fans despite the defeat. Overall, Frank defended his players publicly to maintain unity while recognizing the challenging atmosphere surrounding the club.
