Tottenham Manager Frank Labels Goalkeeper Booers 'Not Genuine Supporters'

Spurs supporters who booed keeper Vicario were informed afterwards "those individuals can't be real Spurs supporters" by manager Thomas Frank.

Spurs let in two scores in the opening six minutes to fall 2-1 to their opponents, registering their tenth Premier League at home defeat of the year.

However the primary talking point was Fulham's next score when the keeper gave away possession well beyond his area.

He ventured out to handle a high pass and carried the ball towards the sideline.

However, rather than booting it into touch, the Italy international spun and attempted to clear away, but lost his footing as the ball glanced off Wilson and was controlled by King.

King passed the ball off to Welsh midfielder Wilson, who bent a shot into the net from the sideline measured at thirty-six point six metres.

Seconds afterwards when the ball went to Vicario once more, some Tottenham supporters booed him.

The team were booed off at half-time, with the club 2-0 down, and again at full-time.

One of those jeering sessions really angered Frank.

"I heard some of our fans reportedly jeered the situation and jeered after, which, in my opinion is totally unacceptable," the Dane commented about the supporters' response to his goalkeeper.

"[They] cannot be real Tottenham fans that do that. Fair enough jeering after the game, fine, but when we are playing, we are supporting each other, we are behind each other going forward."

Tete had handed Fulham a fourth-minute lead before Wilson's strike – with Mohammed Kudus scoring for Tottenham in an improved second-half showing.

Former top-flight keeper Hart stated that the next score was "totally preventable".

"I do understand the fans' frustration," Hart added. "I know the part Vicario is performing. He is a excellent squad member, he is a real leader in the locker room but ultimately you are going to be judged by your actions.

"The keeper was deeply implicated in what turned out to be the decisive goal."

'It's Part of Football, I Can Handle It'

Italian national team the keeper is in his third campaign with Tottenham.

He stated after the game that he had to accept the criticism.

"The second score was a error of mine, I take accountability for it," he commented.

"The intent was to clear the ball far and I simply struck the ball in a poor way. It was an more difficult challenge to climb."

He stated receiving jeers "comes with football".

"I'm a big man, what can I say?" he continued. "We cannot be influenced by the circumstances in the crowd. Supporters have the right to do as they see fit.

"It's on us to remain more composed, to focus on our own performance. The team is lacking in calmness and calmness to reverse results. Today is a bad defeat and it's tough to take."

'I Was Surprised Nobody Went Back to the Goal Line'

In spite of the keeper's mistake, it was far from an simple goal for Wilson to score.

In fact it was the second longest-range Premier League score of the campaign – after Tyler Adams' 43.3 yard strike for Bournemouth against the Black Cats, which interestingly too occurred on the same day.

The goalscorer stated he was "somewhat surprised" that he still had an empty goal to aim for.

10 seconds elapsed between Vicario exiting of his area and the midfielder striking – which was five seconds after the clearance.

"I felt like the keeper was out of the area for ages," he said.

"It amazed me none of the back four returned to the goal line. When not one of them covered the goal, my eyes lit up a bit.

"Udogie fell too, which gave me a bit of additional opportunity. Then it was all about trying to make the correct connection and get it towards goal. I had a good sense, as soon as it left my foot, that it was heading in."

'During in a Bad Spell, All Seems to Work Against You'

Although Vicario's mistake led coverage, this was an all-round poor day for Spurs to extend their home ground woes.

This was their 10th home loss of the year in the Premier League, a shared club record matching 1994 and 2003.

The side still have home games against the manager's old side Brentford and champions Liverpool to come prior to the close of the season.

Just a single of those wins have occurred after the manager took over from his predecessor in the off-season.

"When you're down 2-0 following the opening, there is a mountain to overcome," said the boss.

"During in a poor run, everything seems to go against you too – the first was a deflected attempt, the next is a error from Vic.

"The outcome puts us in a position where we have lost an additional match. Every game has a unique narrative, today we were defeated in the first six minutes.

"We simply need to keep working. The second half was much better and with luck something we can use to develop."

Spurs have been defeated in four consecutive home capital clashes for the initial time in the top division.

And they are recording 9.5 attempts and three point two shots on target per game in the Premier League – their poorest rates on file in a one campaign (dating back to 2003-04).

Ex- Cottagers midfield player Murphy stated that Frank has to endure the criticism.

"He must take the stick," Murphy said. "He has accepted a high profile job at a major team with enormous expectation. There is pressure and duty that accompanies that.

"Their showings at their stadium have been poor and they have to get better {quickly|
