Tottenham's Head Coach Thomas Frank has defended captain Cristian Romero, after the centre-back appeared to take aim at the club's hierarchy in a since-edited Instagram post. The 27-year-old had stated that "other people" should be coming out to speak and that they "only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies". However, Frank says he has been happy with Romero's performances on the pitch but has spoken to him about keeping some views internal.
Frank praised Romero as a young leader who has done many things right both on and off the pitch. He was also satisfied with his performance in their recent 3-2 loss at Bournemouth. However, it is understood that tensions have been high between the players and fans over recent poor results. The incident of Frank being photographed holding an Arsenal-branded coffee cup has only added to the divide.
The situation appears to be getting increasingly difficult for Frank with the team's winless run now extending to three matches. Tottenham have won only once in their past six games, and the fans are growing impatient. While Frank is sticking by his side of Romero being a top player, the supporters feel that more drastic action needs to be taken to address the team's performance.
The question remains whether Frank will be able to turn things around for Tottenham without significant changes or if he will become the next casualty of poor results. The situation seems irreparable with the fans and players now openly at odds over the team's direction.

. You can't just blame everyone else for things not going right - you've got to take responsibility yourself, just like Thomas Frank did with Cristian Romero. It's easy to sit on the bench and point fingers when things aren't working out, but it takes a big person to own up to their mistakes and make some tough decisions. The thing is, being a leader isn't about getting all the praise, it's about putting in the hard work even when no one's watching 
. Let's see if Tottenham can turn this around, but for now, let's just remember that even in failure, there's always room to learn and grow 
I feel bad for Thomas Frank, 'cause he's tryna keep it calm but those tensions are gettin' real, fam! 
Cristian Romero's comments were fire 
but now they're just addin' fuel to the fire. I get where he's comin' from, we need more voices speakin' up but maybe not on Instagram 
. The fans are growin' impatient and it's hard to blame 'em, three winless matches is a looong time without a W 
. Frank needs to take drastic measures or else, but at the same time, I feel for him, he's tryna do what's best for the team. It's like, how can u please everyone? 
Maybe it's time for some squad changes or somethin'... idk, just hope Spurs can get back on track soon 
That's just a distraction from the real issues. And honestly, I feel bad for Romero, he's been doing great on the pitch, so what's the big deal? 
. I think Frank needs to take a long hard look at his tactics and figure out what's going wrong. And yeah, maybe it's time for some changes around the club. This drama with Romero just adds to the mess 
esp with this winless streak. u gotta wonder if frank can turn things around or if hed be the next one to go 
. He should've stuck to his guns and told Romero that if he can't handle criticism then maybe Spurs isn't the team for him. The fact that the fans are being so unfair and harsh is just ridiculous 
The thing is, when you're in the public eye, every move you make gets scrutinized and it's hard to keep your thoughts and feelings private. 
I get what he was saying about people speaking up when things aren't going well but maybe he should've just kept that to himself? 
and yeah, i get why romero's got some valid points, but can't he just keep it on the down low? 
right now! He's gotta deal with not only the pressure from the fans but also the tension among his own players 
. It's like, he's trying to support Cristian Romero and all, but it's clear that there's a bigger issue at hand 
️. I think what's killing Frank is that everyone's expectations are super high for this team 
. I just hope Frank can find a way to calm everyone down and get the team back on track 
!
. I mean, Romero was just expressing his frustration and it gets edited to make him sound like he's taking aim at the entire club? 
. But I guess that's not the point. The point is that the fans are feeling let down and they want to see some action taken. And honestly, who can blame them? Tottenham's been having a pretty rough season so far 
.
. on one hand, romero's been doin' alright on the pitch, but off it, things are gettin' messy 
.
. sometimes, you gotta trust that they're gonna figure it out, even if it doesn't seem like it right now 
.
. it's not just about romero or the team's performance, it's about keepin' a level head in the midst of chaos 
. easy said, harder done 
. It's sad to see the team in such a state, especially with all the talent they have on paper 
I don't know how much more of this I can take... like, I get it, Romero's got some valid points about the squad not being as cohesive as it could be, but come on, is it really necessary to air them all out on social media? 
Still, you can't deny he's been doing alright on the pitch, and Frank likes what he sees. But, at the end of the day, the fans are feeling like they're getting screwed over... 
I mean, three wins in six games? You can't keep blaming the captain forever!
