Tottenham's home advantage is a myth for away games, as the team has found ways to silence their home fans and pick up crucial wins on the road.
According to former Spurs defender Martin Keown, who now analyzes the game alongside Ashley Williams, this season's Tottenham side seems to have cracked the code to success in away fixtures. The key to this newfound form lies not only with the team's tactics but also in how they manage their home fans.
The energy and noise that the home crowd usually provides is often the spark that sets off an attack, as it can be difficult for opposing teams to keep possession under such pressure. However, Tottenham seem to have found ways to dampen this energy and calm down the atmosphere, making it easier for them to control the game.
Williams attributes this success to the team's ability to nullify their opponents' attacking threats, cutting off space and disrupting supply lines between players. This prevents their opposition from launching sustained attacks, allowing Spurs to win the battle of wills in the midfield area.
For Keown, the Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is instrumental in getting his team focused and in sync on away games. By emphasizing discipline, work rate, and unity among his squad, he encourages a collective mentality that transcends individual brilliance.
The results show that this new approach has worked wonders for the Spurs, as they continue to rack up wins and climb higher in the table. As Williams puts it, "They're not just a team; they're a unit working towards the same goal."

Their secret might just be silencing their own fans (that's what Martin Keown said, anyway) and taking control of the game before it even starts. It's all about getting focused and working together as a unit - sounds like manager Thomas Frank is doing something right 
. They need to keep that energy under control or it'll give away too many free kicks 
️. The team's discipline and unity are really paying off, Frank is doing a great job 
. It's all about the collective effort now, not just individual brilliance

. I mean, it's all about nullifying their opponents' attacking threats and disrupting the flow of the game 
. Thomas Frank is a genius when it comes to getting his team focused on the road games 
!
. They've figured out how to counteract the home crowd's energy and create their own momentum on the road. I think it's great that they're focusing on nullifying their opponents' threats and disrupting supply lines – it's all about controlling the midfield battle. Thomas Frank's emphasis on discipline, work rate, and unity is really paying off for them 
, I mean, can you believe how good Tottenham's away form is this season? Interesting 
The way they shut down opponents' attacks and control the midfield is pure genius 
.
. Thomas Frank's emphasis on discipline and unity has clearly paid off 
it makes sense that if ur opponent cant keep possession, theyd struggle. but whats with managers trying to nullify opponents attacking threats? like isnt that just a basic defensive strategy? 
. And don't get me wrong, Thomas Frank's tactics are solid, but I think he's being way too generous with praise for his team right now 
. They're not beating top teams on the road just because they're more disciplined, it's also about picking the right opponents and timing their attacks perfectly. Can't we give them some credit for being decent without relying on their fans to create chaos?
