Tottenham's start to 2026 was an amalgamation of their 2025 under head coach Thomas Frank – a 0-0 draw at Brentford represented another point won on the road and another game where they created very few chances. They also chanted "Boring, boring Tottenham" and jeered current boss Frank as he approached them at the full-time whistle. "It's not perfect… we want us to be free-flowing," said Frank in his pre-match press conference on Friday. "We need to do everything we can to put in an attacking, intense, front-footed performance against Sunderland." Another victory this weekend could spark Tottenham's season into life and would go some way to repairing the apparent rift between head coach and fans.
