    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    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)...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    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...

    Hope I am wrong, but frankly (!!!) I just don't see it blossoming into anything much with Frank. Nobody wants people sacked so quickly, and nobody wants change and churn all the time. But this bloke simply has to start standing behind his words. He said, "If you don't take risk, you also take...

    I agree, football in general is in some sort of 'stodge' with regards to style. And I think we need to remember who we are as a club philosophically. Maybe the issue is fans like me. Maybe we are not who I believe we are philosophically as a club. If that is the case, don't tell me please, and...

    If you don't want to see my point, all good. Line-up yesterday? Probably 4-2-3-1 Vic Porro Romero VdV Udogie Palhinha Bergvall Kudus Xavi Tel Muani Or a 4-3-3 with midfield of Palhinha, Bergvall and Xavi, and Kudus/Muani/Tel I'd have looked for a carrier - which we have a couple of - to...

    Maybe I am not being clear. I am not talking about tactical intent, I am talking the overall intent of how this club goes about playing football matches. Where is our way? Where is the style I associate with this club?

    For me, it has virtually nothing to do with patterns and everything to do with intent. How do you view our intent overall?

    Kudus just came back from a few weeks out after being battered all season. He was not at his best and there's a reason IMO.
