Jamie O’Hara slams Djed Spence for his distribution vs Bournemouth

Spence’s distribution all game was underwhelming, but there was a moment in the second half where he gave the ball away in the middle of the park.

This not only stopped the attack for Tottenham, but gave the Cherries a glorious opportunity to hit them on the break.

It also happened at a time when Frank was urging his team to throw bodies forward, and they had very little time to react to the turnover.

O’Hara clearly was not pleased with Spence’s pass and labelled Spurs’ performance “terrible”.

He wrote on X: “I’m so done, Spence gives the ball away on the halfway line ridiculous pass, we are terrible.”

Is Thomas Frank’s job in danger at Tottenham?

Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou after the side finished 17th but won a European trophy last season, so the motive was clear – do well in the league.

21 games in, the Dane has not managed to do that as Spurs are in a woeful 14th place in the Premier League.

While the board have emphasised patience and are opting to stick with Frank through the January transfer window, these results and performances are not acceptable.

Had Tottenham been playing well, dominating games, and not winning due to the lack of clinicality in the final third, it would have been a different story.

However, they just do not seem to be playing with any cohesion or a clear identity, and if that does not change soon, Frank may find himself out of a job.

The board are likely to revisit the situation in a couple of weeks, and back-to-back defeats would only add to the pressure he is under.
