Frank wants Tottenham to adopt ‘front-footed’ approach even if it ends in defeat

• Manager much happier with display in 5-3 loss at PSG

• Spurs hoping to improve home form by beating Fulham

Thomas Frank has said he much preferred Tottenham’s “front-footed” performance in their 5-3 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain to their cautious approach against Arsenal a few days earlier.

Frank was heavily criticised for fielding a back five at the Emirates Stadium for Sunday’s 4-1 defeat and his side responded with a more ambitious display against the European champions. Spurs led twice before being overwhelmed by Vitinha’s hat-trick.
