Tottenham and Liverpool Under Pressure in the Premier League
Draws, defeats and early cup exits have raised alarms in London and Anfield, where patience is starting to wear thin.
Thomas Frank Under Fire After Another Tottenham Setback
The pressure is intensifying on Thomas Frank following a 2-2 draw away at Burnley, a result that left Tottenham sitting 14th in the Premier League and extended their run to five matches without a win.
Frustration was clear in the stands, where supporters once again chanted “Thomas Frank OUT,” a reflection of a season defined by inconsistency. Spurs have recorded three draws and two defeats during that stretch, while also being eliminated from both the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
A Project Kept Alive Only in Europe
Despite their domestic struggles, Tottenham have found a degree of stability through their continued presence in the Champions League, now the sole competition keeping the project afloat.
Still, the lack of league form and early cup exits have weakened Frank’s standing, with his future increasingly tied to short-term results rather than long-term backing.
Liverpool Also Searching for Answers Under Arne Slot
The situation at Liverpool is hardly more encouraging. Arne Slot’s side fell 3-2 to Bournemouth, stretching their winless run in the Premier League to five consecutive matches and dealing a serious blow to their title ambitions.
The Reds sit fourth with 36 points, 14 behind leaders Arsenal, who also have a game in hand. The outlook could worsen further, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Brentford or Newcastle all capable of overtaking them this matchday.
Still Alive in Cups, but With Little Margin for Error
Like Tottenham, Liverpool remain in contention in both the Champions League and the FA Cup, but damage has already been done elsewhere. They are out of the Premier League title race and have lost the Community Shield, two key objectives at the start of the season.
The feeling around Anfield is clear: the team competes, but fails to convince, and the absence of results is beginning to erode confidence in a project still searching for a clear identity under Slot.
A Tense Finish to the Season Ahead
Different contexts, similar symptoms. Tottenham and Liverpool now approach a decisive stretch of the campaign under growing pressure. Results are no longer coming, supporters are growing restless and the margin for error continues to shrink.
Both clubs remain alive in Europe, but domestic struggles threaten to define a season that, for now, raises far more questions than answers.
