Manager Thomas Frank says Tottenham Hotspur’s players and supporters “need each other” and that the club is “nothing without the fans”.<\/b><\/p>\n
Fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his mistake led to Fulham’s second goal in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat – Spurs’ 10th home league loss of 2025.<\/p>\n
The Dane said after the defeat that those who booed Vicario “can’t be true Tottenham fans” and called their actions “completely unacceptable”.<\/p>\n
Tottenham’s only Premier League home win under Frank, who joined from Brentford in the summer, was the opening-weekend fixture against Burnley.<\/p>\n
Their poor home form has led to Tottenham having just 18 points from 13 games to sit 12th in the league table.<\/p>\n
Speaking before his side face Newcastle United, who sit directly below them, on Tuesday (20:15 GMT) at St James’ Park, Frank said he understood the disappointment of fans.<\/p>\n
“As I said after the game I completely understand the frustration,” he said.<\/p>\n
“If you don’t win there will always be a frustration. That is normal.<\/p>\n
“Especially as we haven’t won as much as we would have wanted to at home, not only this year but the last long period. So the frustration grows a little bit more. <\/p>\n
“We are nothing without the fans. No club is anything without the fans. Tottenham is nothing without our fantastic fans, nothing. We need each other.<\/p>\n
“My point is that during matches is where we need each other – where I want to create a fortress.<\/p>\n
“If you want to create a fortress, it can only be together – fans, team, me. My job is to make sure we do everything we can to perform – but can we do that together? That is where you create a difficult place to play.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
