Tottenham's Thomas Frank under fire after Burnley draw

Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Burnley did little to ease the pressure on Thomas Frank. A late Cristian Romero header salvaged a point, but the manager walked off to chants of "sacked in the morning" from his own fans. The result leaves Spurs with just two wins from their last 14 Premier League games.

The atmosphere at Turf Moor was toxic from the start, with Spurs supporters mocking their team's sideways passing. Frank's position is under internal scrutiny after a home loss to West Ham, with at least one club executive reportedly questioning his future. The club hierarchy must now decide whether to act swiftly or grant him more time.

A Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund offered a contrasting picture, but league form is the immediate concern. Defensive frailties were evident as Burnley, 19th, scored twice. Upcoming fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal could decide Frank's fate. The question is no longer if, but when, Spurs make a change.
