However, Frank was disappointed with Spurs’ lack of chances, saying, “Definitely, we don’t create enough. We dealt with half of the challenge here because they are very strong at home.” Brentford’s defensive solidity was evident, with only seven shots conceded at home all season.
Frank also defended Cristian Romero’s tackle on Thiago, calling it a 50/50 challenge. He added that a penalty for Archie Gray’s incident would not have been overturned.
Tottenham struggled in midfield, and Frank acknowledged the need to create more chances. “We understand the different and difficult opponent away from home, and it is linked to the amount of chances we can create and will create,” he said.
Joao Palhinha praised his team’s defensive performance, saying, “It’s a fair result. A second clean sheet in a row in the Premier League is not easy – we need to have credit about that.” However, he acknowledged the need for improvement offensively.
Palhinha emphasized the difficulty of playing away from home, saying, “It’s not easy playing against a good team in an away game.” Spurs will look to bounce back from the draw in their next fixture.
