S2E50 | Thomas Frank’s Tottenham: Shape-Shifting & Set Pieces

In this episode of The Lab , Ben Bowman returns to dig into how Thomas Frank could shape Tottenham Hotspur tactically. From the possibility of a back three to a more fluid 4-2-3-1, we unpack what Spurs’ summer transfer links reveal about Frank’s likely setup. We explore why players like Van de Ven, Romero, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, and Solanke could all flourish under Frank’s pragmatism. We also discuss Brentford’s elite set-piece approach, the marginal gains Frank obsessively pursues, and what it all means for Spurs' short- and long-term prospects. Learn more about your ad choices.
