    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess it is a little bit like the Tel situation. He is the right buy because you won't really find another realistic profile in this transfer market. Perhaps you could if you take a punt on a really young guy that might get to that Sonny profile quickly like we're seeing with Bergval in...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    I wish I knew how to super-impose Vinai and Daniels heads onto Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams Blurred lines is all I saw from the THFC leadership.

    Only watched the video yesterday for the first time. I didn't feel like Levy was really stepping back to be chairman of the board and letting his new CEO run the operation. I was hoping that we were moving from the prior model of Levy being chairman and CEO, and he had already shared with us...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I've said my piece many times on this. Ange did let himself and our club down in front of the media. I could have actually sucked that up if he had delivered tactically and earned the right to have a bit of Fergie or Clough about him. Facing the media isn't easy. I can almost laugh about it now...

    Cristian Romero

    Have a feeling this one is to do with how important he actually is for us. I reckon he would have played a load more if we had actually got ourselves into a relegation scrap or alternatively in a fight for UEFA football via the league. I would also applaud Danso for the cover he gave Romero to...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I never really saw us having to change personnel to maintain the same tactics though because of all those game situations we found ourselves in. The end of the EL campaign may have been the exception actually. Be nice to see a few games that are 0-0 at 60 and the our superior depth come off the...

    Scott Munn

    I think I've just joined a woke amnesty thread. I no longer have to be insulted on someone else's behalf. It's actually quite liberating.

    So did Scott Munn leave or not in recent changes? Perhaps I missed the announcement.

    Transfer thread

    I thought Branthwaite was equally capable of playing both sides. Very ambidextrous apparently.

    The "DM" thread

    It's the Gravenberch impact we need. I didn't see that happening at Pool until it happened. Klopp used him as a sub and then Slot made him first team stalwart in behind Macallister and Szoboszlai. He had a huge impact. That makes me hope that perhaps some of ours can adapt with the right guidance.

    Mathys Tel

    I guess if we shift Gil and Solomon then I sort of agree. It hurt us badly losing Odobert and Richi (and Moore) in the first half of last season. With what was unfolding with Werner, we just couldn't change it up in the second halves of games. Towards the end we could share 90 mins between...

    Transfer thread

    I've just noticed how Everton's season transformed since Branthwaite became clear of the injuries in about the November time. He barely played before. I was never a massive Dawson fan as a footballer. Still love the personality and character though, just like Davies. Dawson was also always...

    Cristian Romero

    Enjoying the conversation. I think we both know we will neither prove or disprove theories as Ange has left the building and we don't get to find out next season. We ended up putting so many lines on the Ange's bug tracking spreadsheet and every single one of them had their own story. I've...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Great post. I think what we've learnt from other successful clubs is that you need several good players for that engine room. It's then how the manager coaches them into a number of different combinations and keeps them all fresh with rotation. It's about seamless switching of them during the...

    Cristian Romero

    People get so tetchy even now when Ange is questioned about his defensive tactics. It really is quite simple. Ange's teams, regardless of players choice, conceded over 60 goals in 2 consecutive seasons. To use an Ange word, that was unprecedented. Now we can blame players, and they are certainly...

    Cristian Romero

    Somewhat true. It will always be easier with a stable defence but you have to be able to switch defenders. That's football. Also, Davies was labelled our most intelligent defender and he was culpable for not getting the offside instruction multiple times. The Bowen Hammers goal was a great...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's the reason I've always been impressed with Joao Gomes. He has that blend of close touch, passing, tackling, athleticism that you need in the middle of the park. Way more football smarts and leadership than our current players as well. I doubt he's great at anything, but he seems to make a...

    Cristian Romero

    I still genuinely believe people need to start looking at the defensive errors, not just Romero's, but in the context of how Ange was asking these guys to play the offside. Naturally, Romero would want to sweep and he want to go with his man and back himself to win a one-on-one battle. It's...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My biggest curiosity with Frank is centre midfield. Ours has been nothing write home about even though we have good players on paper. When I look around I see players like Ramsey at Villa, Gomes at Wolves and other unsung heroes across the PL. The 2 lads I mention have had great games against us...

    Expectations for 25/26

    I think the age profile of Villa's squad might count against them eventually especially if they lose Ramsey and Rodgers. They will have to churn quite a few in the next couple of years to refresh these players.
