Tension around Tottenham Hotspur continues to rise, and now the pressure is not only coming from the stands but from inside the dressing room as well. Recent reports suggest that several Spurs players have grown frustrated with one particular habit Thomas Frank has developed since taking charge, adding another layer of concern to an already unsettled atmosphere at the club.
Frank is already struggling to win over the fan base, as many supporters feel the team has lacked clarity, direction and consistency in recent weeks. Performances have been uneven, mistakes have been frequent, and confidence seems to be slipping.
But it appears the dissatisfaction is not limited to fans. According to new claims, some Tottenham players are becoming increasingly irritated by the manager’s approach behind the scenes.
Sources close to the dressing room have told The Sun that Frank has developed a habit of adjusting, altering or completely overturning his tactical plans at the very last moment.
These late changes reportedly happen either right before kick-off or early during matches, leaving several players unsure about their roles and responsibilities.
The constant shifting of instructions has created confusion within the squad, especially among players who rely on clear, structured guidance to perform at their best.
One example highlighted was Tottenham’s chaotic 5-3 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain last week. The report claims Frank made a late tactical change that caught some players off guard, contributing to the lack of organisation seen on the pitch.
Instead of feeling settled and prepared, some members of the squad were left trying to adapt on the fly something that has become a recurring issue in recent games.
While not every player is unhappy, and some are said to enjoy working with Frank and his staff, the general concern is growing. The fear inside the club is that unless results improve quickly, the manager risks losing the majority of the dressing room.
Once confidence in a manager fades, it becomes incredibly difficult to regain, and the tension can spill into performances, morale and unity on the pitch.
Former Spurs defender Ramon Vega has already voiced his own concerns, suggesting that Frank may have lost the dressing room already. He believes the manager’s tactical decisions and lack of bravery in key moments have weakened his authority.
When players begin to feel uncertain, unsupported or confused by the manager’s methods, belief fades, and the bond between coach and squad starts to break.
As Tottenham push through a difficult stretch, the club is entering a crucial period. The team’s results have dipped, the performances have lacked consistency, and now there are rumours of growing unrest among the players themselves.
Frank urgently needs clarity in his approach, stability in his tactics and confidence from his squad. Without those things, the situation could continue to spiral, and his position could come under even greater scrutiny.
For now, the Spurs dressing room is not completely lost, but the warning signs are impossible to ignore. The coming weeks may determine not only how the season unfolds, but whether Thomas Frank can regain trust and restore belief within a squad that desperately needs stability.
