Matt asked: A lot has been made of a good start to the season from Spurs and being top three after seven. Thomas Frank has added a solid structure to the team and clear pattern of play that wasn't necessarily apparent during certainly the latter days of Ange Postecoglou's reign. Will it be different with Frank?
Our senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has been answering your questions on Tottenham. In the first part, he discusses Spurs' start under Thomas Frank.
Matt asked: A lot has been made of a good start to the season from Spurs and being top three after seven. But when you dive in you see we've have played Leeds, Burnley, West Ham and Wolves already. Do you think some are getting a bit carried away at this early stage?
Sami: I agree to a point – certainly that we should reserve judgement until we are halfway through the season at the very least. But the early signs are certainly positive.
Thomas Frank has added a solid structure to the team and clear pattern of play that wasn't necessarily apparent during certainly the latter days of Ange Postecoglou's reign. They are far harder to beat under Frank, though Postecoglou's detractors will tell you that isn't difficult.
But I'd agree, until we have a bigger body of work to analyse, we should hold off on making definitive readings of how Tottenham are progressing. But the signs look good.
The one factor that does intrigue me, however, is how supporters may react to the pragmatic style of football if they start to lose form. Fans have a history of turning on manager's who employ a defensive approach when results aren't going their way.
Will it be different with Frank?
