Roy Keane named Tottenham star player who Thomas Frank won’t play and he has been proven right

Roy Keane recently made a bold prediction about a Tottenham Hotspur star player who Thomas Frank wouldn’t play, and it seems he’s been proven right. While the exact player isn’t specified, recent developments suggest that Lucas Bergvall might be the one Keane was referring to. Bergvall, a highly-rated young midfielder, has been impressing with his energy and creativity but is expected to be dropped from the starting XI for the match against Leeds United.

Thomas Frank’s decision to bench Bergvall has sparked frustration among Spurs fans, who feel that the young midfielder’s proactive play is precisely what’s needed to unlock a resolute Leeds defense. Critics argue that dropping him for a more defensively-minded player risks making the team too predictable and passive in a match where a victory is crucial to solidify their position in the top four.¹

*Other Tottenham Players Under Scrutiny*

Another player who’s been in the spotlight is Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham’s goalkeeper. Vicario’s inconsistencies have led to several mistakes, and many fans are now calling for him to be replaced. His struggles with claiming crosses and commanding the box have been particularly concerning, and some are urging Thomas Frank to give Antonin Kinsky a chance.² ³

Additionally, Djed Spence has been struggling to impress under Frank, and many believe it’s time for Destiny Udogie to take over as the starting left-back. Udogie has shown superior technical skills and a better understanding of the game, making him a more reliable choice.⁴

*Frank’s Tactical Decisions*

Frank’s decision to change Xavi Simons’ role has also been a topic of discussion. Despite spending most of his career as a No.10, Simons has been playing on the left wing, and some have suggested that Frank should play him in the center. However, former Tottenham scout Bryan King believes that Simons should just be happy to be playing and that these changes take time.⁵

As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Frank’s tactical decisions impact Tottenham’s performance. Will he stick with his current lineup, or will he make changes to address the concerns of fans and pundits? Only time will tell.
