Frank Confident of Fixing Tottenham but Says Cannot Do It Alone
Frank blamed referee John Brooks and VAR for missing a foul on Cristian Romero before Liverpool's second goal and criticized two Spurs red cards that left his team with nine men.
- On Saturday, Tottenham lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and finished the match with nine men after Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero were dismissed.
- Thomas Frank blasted VAR and the match officials, saying they missed a push on Cristian Romero by Hugo Ekitike that led to Liverpool's second goal.
- Alexander Isak opened the scoring on 56 minutes and was injured, before Hugo Ekitike doubled the lead with a header despite a slight push on Cristian Romero that avoided VAR intervention.
- The result leaves Spurs with a fifth home defeat this season and mounting pressure under Thomas Frank, while Xavi Simons faces a likely three-game ban missing matches against Crystal Palace, Brentford, and Sunderland.
- Frank questioned the referee's first yellow, saying `I can't see if it is right or wrong that he gives the first yellow`, while Arne Slot agreed Liverpool felt like they had nine men last week.
