Thomas Frank makes Tottenham claim as fans call for sack after West Ham defeat

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a narrow 2-1 loss at the hands of West Ham on Saturday afternoon, as fan patience in Thomas Frank grows thinner and thinner by the week following a disastrous run of form

Thomas Frank has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are "closer" to turning things around in the aftermath of a humiliating 2-1 loss to West Ham on Saturday.

Mounting pressure is growing on the Danish head coach, given Spurs have managed just two wins from their last 10 Premier League matches. As things stand, the Lilywhites sit 14th in the standings, with a tally of seven wins, six draws and nine losses to show for their efforts this term.

Tension was especially high at full-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with a struggling West Ham securing just their fourth win of the season over the hosts.

Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring a third of the way through the first-half to ensure the Hammers headed into the break with the lead. While Cristian Romero levelled matters midway through the second period of play, his efforts were nulled in stoppage time, when Callum Wilson secured the winner for the visitors.

Despite his shortcomings, Frank remains positive that he is close to turning things around with the club he was appointed at over the summer. He said: "If we're winning it will change [the reaction of the fans] and we will. I still think we are closer [to turning things around] than further away."

During the encounter, Spurs fans were also heard singing: "You're getting sacked in the morning," at their head coach, while others left the ground early as a result of a painful watch.
