    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    That is probably fair if I dig a little deeper into the foggy grey thing within my cranium. I always felt there was a squad role for him IF we'd also been able to offer him a role in the coaching staff (he might not have taken it of course so it is conjecture)... I think the CB pairings debate...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think Toby has benefitted from the passage of time and nostalgia. He was excellent for a couple of seasons, but he did start to drop off. Jan? Rolls Royce player who I think we moved on too quickly.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I see that, but for me (currently) what Sarr brings as opposed to Bentancur are the legs to cover ground fast from that slightly deeper position. He still looks to go forward more than backwards/sideways. I believe that before his two injuries, Rodrigo was elite, however the injuries have taken...

    Yes. He did it, was 100% confirmed.

    You say 'write off' I say make credible observations about a young player, especially one who has talent. By this metric of course, can I assume you have not given up on Feliz? FWIW he is also not 'our' youngster. He cost in the region of 25 million. Let's not conflate him with, say, Dane...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    About a decade ago, in the previous town I lived in, a late 50s man's wife went missing. The word was she'd been attacked, assaulted and most likely murdered. We got together at the 'town green' and made plans to out 'missing' flyers in our back windows. The husband had printed a bunch out, and...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    I adored the man and all he did, but it was a massive error and I partially blame Ballague for steering him to it. Critically, doing it meant he ceded any moral high ground when it came to behind the scenes stuff, which meant he didn't really have the clout to tell them to shove the Amazon...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Back to Thomas Frank for a min...I think his reaction to the CFC debacle has been very encouraging. He has shown he will adjust, and he has shown he will break free of 'safety first' football in the selection. Kudos to him (albeit I wish he'd started with Udogie and Spence today BUT he knows...

    I can certainly see that. I think the lingering issue is that Joao is not the greatest passer when advancing, however in our current system I could certainly live comfortably enough with your suggestion. Drifting into 'I wish' land, I'd love to see what a team like this would do. Vic Romero...

    Thomas Frank’s coaching staff

    Wow. What a sad story, yet there he is, doing what he has to do and showing up to do the work. Fantastic and well done to that man. His words on the nature of grief are so on point.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Toby had come back from a fairly long injury in late 2016/early 2017 reportedly a little 'Tubby'. Poch told him to lose a few pounds so it's said. Toby did not take kindly to that, at which point the two were at loggerheads. Yes. He then wanted to move him on, and if you believed the rumour...

    So, what happened today?

    Excellent...congratulations to all.

    A really good overview mate, and one for the debate floor. I agree with most of that.

    Raum at Leipzig could be an interesting choice? Mitchell at Palace? I think you're right, however, let's see what the Don can find...but we need it. I'd also consider Chilwell. At Strasbourg through 2027, would probably like a move back to the Prem, experienced, good squad option...albeit I...

    They were excellent. I think the current system would test their excellence, but no denying their partnership. I do think context is important with regards to DMs, FBs and the excellent Kane plus Eriksen in his pomp...

    Wilson Odobert

    Fair play, this was the first time in forever I have seen him consistently not just look to take the man on but also the green space behind that man. Helped enormously by Udogie being there. We could also see today where he is probably more effective in the half-space/channel and being able to...
