Thomas Frank saw his Tottenham team secure a 0-0 draw against Monaco in the Champions League. Guglielmo Vicario’s eight saves were crucial, although the attacking performance was concerning. The draw moves Spurs to five points after three games. Despite the offensive struggles, Frank achieved a unique milestone for the club.
The 52-year-old Thomas Frank has become the first Tottenham manager to remain unbeaten in his first three Champions League matches. Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory over Villarreal in their first match of the 2025/26 campaign. Following that, they drew 2-2 with Bodo/Glimt after being down 2-0.
Attacking improvements needed for Tottenham in Europe
Tottenham need to improve their attack if they want a memorable European season. Thomas Frank, who again benched Pape Sarr, can be satisfied with his start in the Champions League. The clean sheet offers a foundation to build upon. Frank aims to transform draws into victories.
End of an era: Tottenham’s first 0-0 draw since Antonio Conte
The draw against Monaco could be a reset for Tottenham, following several chaotic matches under Ange Postecoglou. Nottingham Forest recently sacked Postecoglou. Tottenham had not had a 0-0 draw since Antonio Conte’s team played AC Milan on March 8th, 2023, in the Champions League.
Tottenham’s backline was often stretched under Postecoglou, with clean sheets rare. Therefore, the 0-0 draw should bring calmness to Tottenham. Four draws have occurred across all competitions this season.
This result gives Frank a platform to improve the attack and turn draws into wins. The focus shifts to converting these stalemates into victories, aiming for a more clinical edge in future matches. Tottenham will look to build on this defensive stability.
