Tottenham Hotspur's struggles at home continue to mount, with the team suffering their 11th Premier League defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2025. This setback has surpassed the club's previous records in 1994 and 2003, leaving manager Thomas Frank under increasing pressure. The 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Saturday, which was attended by a packed crowd of over 62,000, was a result of a combination of factors. Tottenham was reduced to 10 men in the first half after Xavi Simons was given a red card for a studs-up tackle on Virgil van Dijk, and captain Cristian Romero was given a late red card for retaliation against Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate. Despite being down a man, Tottenham pushed hard for an equalizer, but Randal Kolo Muani's shot was denied by the crossbar. Frank expressed his disappointment with the refereeing decisions, particularly the second red card, which he felt was harsh. He also questioned the accuracy of the first red card, stating that Simons was not using exceptional force and was simply trying to pressure Van Dijk. Frank emphasized the importance of making the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a fortress, but admitted that more performances like this would be needed to achieve that goal. The team's struggles at home have left many questioning whether Frank's tactics and the team's overall approach are effective. Tottenham will need to regroup and come up with a better strategy if they hope to turn their home form around. With the new year just around the corner, Frank will be under pressure to deliver results, and the team will need to find a way to stop the bleeding and start winning at home.
