Spurs are now on the brink of another crisis in Thomas Frank's tenure, after their 2-2 draw against Burnley left fans seething with frustration. The result was a stark reminder that Spurs' fortunes may never change under Frank, and that his position as head coach looks increasingly unsustainable.
The Clarets' first goal at Turf Moor in seven months gave them a deserved lead, but Spurs then switched off to allow Axel Tuanzebe to sweep in the equaliser in stoppage time. The Dutchman's tally of seven goals is the most of any Premier League defender this season, while Cristian Romero's latest strike was his fourth goal in as many games.
Spurs' failure to win again for a 14th game has piled pressure on Frank, who will be under intense scrutiny after another dismal showing from his team. The discontent among fans was evident from the opening stages, with Spurs chanting "sideways and backwards everywhere we go" as they struggled to impose their authority on the game.
The team's lack of discipline and focus has been highlighted by pundits, who argue that Frank is in danger of losing his job. Former Wales defender Ashley Williams told Match of the Day: "I just think in the second half it was so easy for Burnley... Thomas Frank will be unhappy with how his team defended. There's a lack of discipline and focus when Spurs need calmness from their big players and leaders."
Frank's position is now under threat, with at least one member of the club's executive team reportedly considering ending his reign. The question is whether the board should move to sack him now or give him another chance to turn Spurs' fortunes around.
Spurs have a crucial Champions League fixture against Borussia Dortmund next week, which may provide some respite for Frank. However, their Premier League form shows no signs of improving, and life is set to get even harder with tough games against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle on the horizon.
For all his efforts, Frank seems doomed to fail as Spurs' head coach, and it's only a matter of time before he's given the boot. The club needs a change in leadership, and fast, if they're going to escape this nightmare of a season without too much more embarrassment.

those spurs players are so whack they just can't even get it together for one game and now frank is on the line 
i mean like i know burnley has been on fire lately but still 2-2? that's just not good enough 
and yeah cristian romero is a beast but axel tuanzebe? who? 
i swear spurs are just so unpredictable every single week 
they need to get their act together or else frank is toast 
what's going on with that team?! 
.
At least he'll be out of his misery and the fans won't have to deal with another season of mediocrity.
it sounds like some biased pundit tryna stir up drama 
anyway, 2-2 draws against Burnley is def not a disaster, it's just one game, and Spurs have better days 
but the lack of discipline & focus is a major concern 
but the whole team needs to step up their game 
gotta keep an eye on that Dortmund game next week, that might be Frank's only chance to turn things around 
they need a shake up badly but at the same time thats scary cuz who knows what kinda mess we'd get if someone new came in 
idk man they deserve better than this 14 game winless streak its like they're stuck in some kind of funk and i dont know how to get them outta it 
The Clarets' goal was a fluke and Spurs should've had it wrapped up by now. I think Spurs need some tough love from the board, a shake-up of the squad or something, but getting rid of Frank just because he's not delivering results is unfair.
It's like they're playing with 10 men out there. Axel Tuanzebe is a beast! 
We need a change in leadership, for real 
️, but the rest of the season looks super bleak. And don't even get me started on those big games coming up 
.
They just keep digging themselves into holes and it's getting old 
Frank needs to step up his game or out 
The board should be considering a change in leadership, trust me, this club needs a shake-up 
, he's been doing his best with the squad he has, but it's just not panning out 
, so they've got that going for them! Plus, it's not all doom and gloom 
, we've seen teams come back from seemingly hopeless situations before 
. Maybe Frank just needs a little more time to figure things out 
?
! They're just not getting it together under Thomas Frank. He's gotta step up his game ASAP or he's gonna get the boot 
. And now they've got a tough Champions League game coming up which might be their only hope for survival... we'll see 
. The club needs to shake things up and bring in someone new who can turn it around 
.
but seems to have lost his mojo since taking over spurs. maybe spurs need someone with a fresh perspective, not just someone who's been in charge of a smaller team or country 
they can't even beat burnley atm... it's like frank is just phoning it in at this point 
i mean come on guys, switch off in stoppage time? that's just embarrassing 
btw, burnley getting 2 goals at turf moor is like a major upset lol 
. The board needs to be honest with themselves and the fans - can they really see any light at the end of the tunnel? 
I think it's time for a change in leadership, but it's got to be done carefully so as not to alienate the fanbase even more 
. A few more wins (or draws without conceding) could be enough to keep Frank on his job, but if that doesn't happen soon, it might be too late 
but i guess thats not enough to save frank's job just yet 
the lack of discipline and focus is really showing, especially from the big players 
but still, it's not enough if spurs can't even beat burnley at home
