Burnley 2-2 Tottenham: Thomas Frank watched his Spurs side score a dramatic late equalizer at Turf Moor, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy the away supporters.<\/h2>\n

There was barely a flicker on Thomas Frank’s face when Cristian Romero’s sensational header beat Martin Dubravka. He knows his late equalizer at Turf Moor is not a moment the Spurs manager should be celebrating.<\/p>\n
But, hopefully, he later expressed his gratitude to Romero for making the investigation into the results a little less painful. Still, Frank left the field after hearing a fan tell him he could be fired soon.<\/p>\n
In fact, the anti-Frank sentiment from Spurs supporters could be heard from the first whistle, and they frequently serenaded him with the lyrics: “Aside, behind, wherever you go.”<\/p>\n
And, to be fair to the accusers, their claims seemed very legitimate, as their side spent half an hour or so playing a version of the rondo that seemed to have little offensive purpose.<\/p>\n
But to be fair, they were even more intent on that, with excitable Burnley keeper Dubravka still celebrating two decent saves when a missed clearance allowed Micky van de Ven to pull in a fine finish.<\/p>\n

The breakthrough should have been decisive, given that Burnley were not within shouting distance of Vicario at that point, but this is not Tottenham’s decisive team.<\/p>\n
And while Kyle Walker’s assist was uncharacteristically delicate, the defenders had little excuse for Axel Tuanzebe’s equalizing volley.<\/p>\n
The Spurs switched off after a deserved first shot, allowing even a limited team like Scott Parker to take advantage.<\/p>\n
And Spurs’ response wasn’t exactly impressive. They are honest, this is actually a Burnley exclusive outfit, but they felt lazy in the visitor’s approach.<\/p>\n

It’s either laziness or just a little nervousness that makes people hesitant to take risks, try killer passes, or play against their opponents.<\/p>\n
Burnley weren’t better, but Spurs’ was largely unimaginative and unadventurous. And if the team is unimaginative and unadventurous, the manager has to take most of the blame.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is that Spurs aren’t a particularly appealing team to watch, a team that has a ton of possession without threatening to do anything creative.<\/p>\n
It was a huge encouragement to all opponents and it was really no surprise that Lyle Foster put the home side ahead after Vicario kicked the Burnley substitute’s first-time shot straight back.<\/p>\n
There were exceptions, and Jed Spence was one of them. And he gave Matthijs Tell a decent chance, but Dubravka made another good stop.<\/p>\n
Another shining exception was Romero. Say what you will about his lack of discipline, but he is a captain who is dedicated to the cause and his equalizer from Wilson Odbert’s cross was a spectacular header as you can see.<\/p>\n
That didn’t stop Spurs fans from telling Frank his football was “shit” and that he might not be able to keep his job. However, Frank still had a great deal of gratitude for his captain. It would be really embarrassing if we lost here.<\/p>\n
But judging by the reaction from the traveling supporters, it will take more than the captain’s intervention to keep Frank at Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
