While the results have mainly remained indifferent, Tottenham improved since the 5-3 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain just days after the embarrassing 4-0 away defeat to Arsenal. Spurs have been a more attacking side in recent weeks, with a more coherent midfield and attack. That’s until today, at least, where Spurs regressed.

Thomas Frank likened his emotions to a hurricane despite his typically calm persona after another defeat as Tottenham Hotspur boss. Spurs were well beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest on Sunday in

Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank reacts furiously to his team's 3-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, insisting that he needs time to make improvements.

Spurs were beaten 3-0 at the City Ground following a goal in either half from Callum Hudson-Odoi and an Ibrahim Sangare strike.

Forest pressed and were richly rewarded. Tottenham had no answer. Richarlison was anonymous, as was Xavi Simons, and Premier League debutant John Victor was completely untroubled in the home goal. Frank will need to defend his goalkeeper again but the whole team deserves criticism as they failed to handle an energised Forest.
