Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at their home ground, marking their fifth consecutive loss to their London rivals. The match's sole goal came from João Pedro in the first half, further complicating the hosts' situation. Spurs' lackluster performance drew boos from their fans, and post-match footage showed defenders Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence ignoring coach Thomas Frank's call to applaud the supporters.

Frank commented that the players' frustration is understandable, as everyone wants to perform well and win. He emphasized the importance of staying calm in difficult times and admitted that his team struggled to cope with Chelsea's high tempo and pressure.

Tottenham recorded their lowest expected goals (0.05xG) since the data collection began in the 2012/13 season. Frank acknowledged the pain of this statistic, admitting he has never managed a team that created so few chances in a match. He promised to analyze the situation and seek solutions to improve their play.

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp described the team's performance as one of the worst he has witnessed. He noted that Spurs' play was so poor it seemed easy for Chelsea to secure the victory.

Analysis: Tottenham is in a serious crisis, and the need for change is evident. The lack of energy and creativity in attack are key issues that must be addressed if the team hopes to return to winning ways.
