    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Some more Frank content. I like how he talks to the players, but then again I haven't seen how other managers do their training. Maybe it's the same with almost all of them.

    Not so much because we won the EL, but mostly because we were such a train wreck in the league. Add to that the fact that Frank is bringing the pragmatism and adaptability that even the most ardent Ange supporters have been craving and you can see why the reaction is so positive.

    I think with Frank the challenge will be the first season until he gets his principles through. I'm pretty confident he will do much better in his second season. He's not getting found out, that's for sure.

    Luka Vuskovic

    I could see Luka in the 6 role. He has all the attributes. Similar role to Dier under Poch. Question is whether he's ready for the PL in such a key position. Might need a year bedding in or might take like a duck to water a la Bergvall. Either way, he's an exceptional talent and a very astute buy.

    Ange departs

    We had 8 shots on target and 16 total to their 2 and 13. And if you take away the penalty we had a much higher xG. Granted overall it was very low for both sides, but we were marginally the better one. My point was that we didn't just roll over for them and it wasn't the one-sided affair some...

    You can if you're Brentford. Not if you're Spurs, where the fan expectations are quite obviously different.

    Ange departs

    Yet we outplayed them in the final, albeit marginally. Now whether that was because they were 1-0 up from the first minute and ceded possession, or it would have played out the same way, even if they hadn't gone up early, is anyone's guess. But we didn't play like underdogs. Far from it. We had...

    Does it even matter? The transfer window isn't open for another 2 weeks (?) and first day of training is still 3 weeks away.

    Probably because the priority was staying in the PL and given the lack of depth, probably fielded significantly weaker sides.

    I heard in a podcast that he was actually looking to BJ to be more of a false 9 rather than a winger. Will be interesting to see how he's deployed.

    I know it's a selective sample, but I've been pining for us to play direct when we win the ball back instead of recycling it ad nauseum. It's going to be super exciting.

    I'd bite your arm off if we average 1.75 pts against the top 6.

    Yay. Someone with a plan B (and C, and D, and E...)

    Does Slot count as lower down? And I would have said Poch and Maresca, but you could argue we're not a top PL club and Chelsea is debatable.
