'In the running'- Tottenham informed of top-four difficulty amidst dreams of being Champions League regulars

Under Frank, Spurs have already registered four wins in their opening five games of the season. They have also scored nine goals and conceded one in the Premier League, registering four clean sheets along the way. The drastic change in performance levels and results highlight how good the Danish tactician has been for the Lilywhites.

Tottenham can push for a top-half finish in the Premier League this season

Tottenham have entered a new era under Thomas Frank this season, with the Dane looking to build on last season’s Europa League success. The ex-Brentford has already made it clear that he wants Spurs to become ‘serial winners’ during his time at N17. And that will only be possible if the North London club carves out positive results week in week out.

The impressive start to the new campaign has given Spurs fans profound belief that they can push for a top-half finish in the Premier League. Iconic commentator Ian Darke also shares the same sentiment after noticing the Lilywhites’ positive results in the league. Speaking to Tottenham News, Darke has said,

“The top four is going to be difficult this year because you’ve got Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea. I think Spurs are in the running. If it’s top five again (that get a Champions League place), they’re in the running maybe for fifth place, along with a few others like Newcastle.”

The iconic commentator adds,

“So I think they can have a much, much better Premier League season than they had last year. That’s what the early signs are telling you, notwithstanding the fact that they were played off the park by Bournemouth.”

Ian Darke believes Tottenham do not stand a chance against other top teams to finish in the top-four of the Premier League table. However, the iconic commentator backs the Lilywhites to finish fifth in the league if all things go well under Thomas Frank. Darke backs Spurs to endure a strong domestic campaign after being impressed with the club’s recent results against tough opponents.

Tottenham fans will also be pleased to see Thomas Frank living up to the expectations in the first few weeks of the new campaign. The Danish tactician wants his team to compete hard on all four fronts this season, so fans will hope that the ex-Brentford boss utilises his squad well and brings the best out of his players when it matters the most.
