    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I don't hate myself enough to look back any further than the Villa game but, although it was poorly done, there were quite a few instances where they cut through our team in their own half because we were - impotantly - trying to press closer to their box. It's disjointed and very poorly...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    No need to apologise! The most disappointing part of Frank's tenure so far (for me) is that despite the football being incredibly dire, he didn't really make us harder to beat. We still make a lot of individual mistakes and Villa's goals proved how easy it is to go through our lines. The more I...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    First of all, no need to thank me at all, or I'd have to thank you (and a lot of other people) all day long for giving me food for thought! It's just my two pence (or tuppence?) on the matter. I don't disagree with your assessment of Frank but if I had to play the devil's advocate, I'd say he's...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Problem is, it's not about the system on paper anymore, it's about how you implement it on the pitch. For instance, VDV and Romero are, in my opinion, ill-suited to a low block: they're not that great in the air and their concentration is suspect at times. Likewise, we don't really have the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The point remains that these players just aren't very good and (at least, in my opinion) nowhere near good enough to get into the Top 6. A different manager could get more out of this squad, if only because the gap in terms of philosophies with Postecoglou is far too wide, but there's no way...

    We could maybe sign one or two players on loan, who are frozen out at their current club, if we were willing to pay silly wages. You kow, the Ndombeles of other clubs. Oh, wait...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    It was more or less what I expected, but I still managed to feel disappointed in the end. My main beef with Frank is that, despite being set up to cancel the opposition's attacking threat, we can't defend at all. The marking was absolutely awful all game long. Then again, VDV and, to an extent...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    I go into every game hoping for a win but a loss might be a blessing in disguise. Playing games in quick succession has done Frank no favours so far and he could certainly use some extra time on the training ground. Not sure it would make much of a difference but playing a couple more rounds...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    What about Mourinho? 😁 Regarding Frank, I think people are in for a disappointment if they think he'll change his ways. Managers live and die by their results and, usually, those who are appointed at a club like Spurs have been fairly successful. There's no need for them to reinvent the wheel...

    Transfer thread

    This part is very important and, in my opinion, has been completely overlooked by the club. We've been obsessed with ROI and that has blocked us from signing players in their twilight years who could have provided useful guidance to youngsters. Unfortunately, that means inquiring about a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'd argue that by the time Pochettino was sacked, our status within the game was ambiguous. If you only looked at the results, we were an elite club: qualifying consistently for the CL, reaching the final, being invited to the Super League or whatever the name was... You had to look at the more...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    We're back to the 90s again, albeit with more competent players minus the real stars we had back then. At the time, you entered every season thinking that if Anderton and King could stay injury free, if Ginola could add some end product to his game, if Sheringham kept scoring, maybe we could...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Certainly but you don't end up in the bottom five of any ranking just because you're trying to pass the ball forward. We weren't the only ones to try to take the game to the opposition, even if I'll admit that our approach was certainly... extreme. Palinha, Sarr, even Bergvall, Kudus or...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's true but, at the same time, even under Postecoglou, our midfielders were already exposed for their very poor passing ability, despite having more progressive options. During his second season, I remember reading a piece that claimed we had one of the worst midfields in the league when it...
