    This might be one of the best pieces of writing I have seen in these parts for some time. The boxing glove-chipolata-fence post crack is glorious hybrid metaphoric poetry. Take a bow!

    Exactly.

    Indeed, that's a very fair perspective...those places have not changed much on the surface, and most certainly not for clientele. Where the true shifts are being felt are with the communities who serve those places, and it's pretty deep and insidious. I certainly hope (and like many cling onto)...

    It's always been that way I think re: tipping. Interesting to know from a visiting perspective if you feel everything is as it always was.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    As ever appreciate the discussion, answers below... A very fair point. I am trying desperately to be my usual calmer more rational self. The problem is I simply don't like the style/direction I am seeing, and find myself hoping he will move closer to what I want this football club to play...

    Errr...I agree? I am arguing against Sarr/Palhlinha in many ways.

    IF we play Xavi off the left, it is imperative we play Udogie at LB and allow Xavi to drift into pockets and connect with others. He is not a left-winger, and I hope we can divorce ourselves from being a side who only appear to want to build chance creation via crosses. Bergvall is no Maddison...

    Yup, it was a more adventurous midfield overall when you look at the selections. Of course it was CPH so context is needed.

    Are you seeing Bentancur (the way Frank uses him) as an 'attacking' player? I think he is another 6 at this point; his 8ness has fadedf considerably (though I suspect if the system allowed it might find itself again)...

    Those players are really good, agreed. That result was also achieved under a different manager who carried a different intent and philosophy, so everything we did (whether people agreed with it or not) was purposeful. I agree that the deep-set thing TF is doing does not suit the players we...

    I think that is largely true, and there is still enough talent there for us to be able to do far better attacking-wise than we are.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    In the last few games, whenever Xavi gets the ball, he is required to turn and beat at least 2 or 3 players before seeing a white shirt, because they're all behind him at the moment of reception. If Frank sanctioned the signing of the player and wanted him, then it is on him to make it work/get...

    Responses below inbetween mate... I think it very much depends on the intent. If you're playing 4-2-3-1 to press and play higher up the pitch, not so much for me. It requires the FBs to be aggressive and it also possibly requires a shift to 4-3-3 when transitioning to defence. I accept that...

    No mate, I don't listen to other podcasts. I do think that there are many supporters who would want this sort of approach. Look, I even like the idea of 3-5-2 if it is used to get an extra creative onto the pitch and we send the wing-backs high. If caught on the hop, Palhinha slips into a four...
