    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed. I believe I am personally 'en route' to accepting that our attacking development will be simply be 'improving' the current style of play. My hope that there is going to be another way with the likes of Deki and Madders is not getting much support from him...still, I must exercise patience...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    BTW, I am rooting for the man. I want him to be what I am hoping he can be. He seems like a good guy and he is obviously a decent coach. I just want to see a sign, a philosophy which backs up his 'fearless football' pre-season mantra.

    Xavi Simons

    His confidence has been shattered. It needs to be rebuilt. You either believe there's a player in there or you don't. I do, but currently, I cannot fathom why Frank agreed to signing him. It's like getting a Ferrari to tow a trailer. Honestly, we might as well have tried to get that...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Everytime Super Kev goes over to the touchline to dry the ball off and wind up for another Delapped hurler, a small piece of me sheds a tear. That moment against Chelsea when one of his hurlers landed with Bentancur and he blew the chance? I think I'd almost have been embarrassed to cheer that...

    João Palhinha

    If he had (currently) one of Bergvall, Sarr or Gray to lay the ball off to centrally plus Udogie or Porro in the defensive wide areas, we would absolutely benefit. The main issue right now is we do not seem interested in using the middle of the pitch to build/create attacking play. Until that...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You offered a prayer, let me offer you a 'tell'...set the guy up to succeed by making sure he plays in a system where there are always available runners and options. Have you noticed that we currently have so many players behind the ball that when he receives it, he usually has no creative place...

    Have We Got The Worst Atmosphere In The Country

    It is a worrying thing. Those of us of similar vintage have been having similar conversations. I still remember a last minute equaliser at the old Filbert Street during a midweek game at Leicester in 97 as creating one of the better away celebrations I remember (caveman from everyone). Is it an...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Milo just read that stat on the pod record and I was flabbergasted. If you find you are a victim of satire, please let me know too. BTW, this is from TF's first words as our manager. "We'll play risk-taking, aggressive football. We want to play forward, to attack...ff you don't take risks, you...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think this misses a wider point/discussion. Who are we stylistically? Who does TF want us to be stylistically? Do we trust that his vision and what many of us want in that regard will align? Do we believe he can progress as a coach and manager in that regard? He does obviously need (and...

    He's a favourite of mine only in the sense of a set-up like the one Frank seems to favor. Of the potentially great LW's we can access, he is near the top of the tree.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I disagree. The only bit of that which rings true IMO, is that it is a major achievement based on how he currently has us playing. Because it is an unsustainable position isn't it? We can complain about Solanke, but he has had a CF throughout Solanke's time out. He has had (until Gray was...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea***, Premier League, Nov 1st 2025 at White Hart Lane

    We did not offer properly for Semenyo or Hincapie, two players who would've absolutely worked for what Frank is doing. As for keeping/playing Moore, this system would've killed him and stifled his growth. Delighted he is learning elsewhere; he'd have been dying on the vine here with these...

    Brennan Johnson

    The biggest thing there was he wouldn't sign the new deal and Poch wanted him gone.

    Xavi Simons

    There is absolutely a player in there. Manager and coach need to find it. That's their job.
