    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agree mate, and in fairness, it calls into question exactl;y why so many interviews and pressers are done. I'd like to protect managers and maybe have others handle at least two of these a week; have the manager quickly chat with the club's main PR, draft some points and let someone else...

    *** CL MD4 OMT Tottenham Hotspur v FC Copenhagen ***

    Just a reminder folks, Tel is not in the CL squad.

    Micky van de Ven

    Sadly this is both modern football and modern life. Everything is projected into the stratosphere sans context. Remember in 74 when Keegan and Bremner threw their shirts at Wembley? Remember when Ghaly did at the Lane and got pilloried? Unfortunately, actions dop get blown out of proportion...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    This is so, so important. And it is down to coaching and management. If this approach does improve thanks to confidence and better coaching, the next question will be whether winning in this way is acceptable in the long-term, whether winning in this way is the way modern football is, or...

    João Palhinha

    There is one reason midfield is a mess!!! We have a fantastic 6, an insurance policy which should allow us to deploy two roving 8s. Instead, he insists on the insurance policy having an extra insurance policy, meaning we end up with too many players behind the ball. Thus we go wide or...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I disagree mate. He should, IMO, be savvier and less 'nice'. Flat-bat it. The moment you mention what you did in terms of devloping goalscorers art Brentford, you're essentially answering the question with some depth i.e. at Brentford he largely executed the system he is employing with us. It...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Some of the hyperbolic 'our fans are tossers they're all over him give him time/ just because we lost, etc' stuff suggests that every post that doesn't just say 'he needs time and everyone needs to be patient' and nothing else MUST mean that postee is saying 'sack him'. Let ME be clear for...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    As much as I hate speculating, I'd wager there is some form of schizophrenia going on there too.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    Unbelievable. He is clearly, clearly mentally ill. You would think he'd have been picked up for sure.

    Micky van de Ven

    Love love love Micky, but in fairness, this is a moment for Frank to assert authority and I trust both players will be fined. Personally I understand exactly why they did what I think they did (without context it's hard to say exactly) however consequences must be had - especially if Bissouma...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I enjoyed (??) the vision, but seriously, I am not sure the loss is the issue. It's the manner of it. Along with some of the draws we've eeked out when more is possible.

    That is most certainly my main hope. I absolutely want it to be the case.

    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...
