Frank used a 4-2-3-1 formation but, surprisingly, Lucas Bergvall was the most advanced midfielder. He pressed Burnley’s defence along with Richarlison and went on a couple of impressive driving runs with the ball. Throughout pre-season, Pape Matar Sarr tended to be the most advanced midfielder.
Thomas Frank hailed Richarlison after the striker's double, which included a memorable scissor-kick, earned Spurs a 3-0 win over Burnley.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says he is not expecting Thomas Frank to win the Premier League in his first season, which is nice of him, but I wonder exactly when he is expecting it to happen then? I'm a fan of Frank, who is so versatile with his formations and, despite whoever else Spurs sign this summer, they already have some very good players.
Previous Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou never came right out and said it, but it felt like he never fully believed he could rely on Richarlison to be the focal point of his attack.
