    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think he’s talking retrospectively. Not what he was necessarily thinking at the time.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    But that’s the point I made earlier. We were very different last week at home. Our passing was sharper and movement better. Closer I would imagine to how TF wants his team to play. Something is trying to emerge, but we are very inconsistent and the players’ confidence really fragile. I wonder...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I don't know for sure mate, but isn't this pretty much the same team that was successful under Nuno last season, (minus Elanga) with a few additions? Whereas, as I (and TF) keep saying we have a brand new attack. That would explain some of it.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I know you will say that Brentford was an "easy" game, but tbh they have not been mugs this season. We played them off the park, playing lovely quick passing football with the same starting line up as yesterday. I think we are just trying to find a level of consistency atm. Yesterday, Gray's...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    I thought Xavi played ok and is looking stronger and Gray too, mistake aside. But agree about the inability to pass even simply to each other

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    I said before, we are going to be inconsistent for the time being and that's what we are seeing. But there are still green shoots even out of an awful result. Xavi is looking more comfortable with every game. Gray despite his mistake looked decent and picked himself up well. Muani I really...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Maddison was massively important during those first 10 games under Ange before his injury. He can be the deep lying passing midfielder or the number 10, as well as the leader on the pitch. He was missed particularly in terms of giving Xavi time to become accustomed to the league and as a...

    James Maddison

    Love Madders. So important for him to get fit probably for next season now, a leader on and off the pitch I reckon.

    The Goon Thread

    I don't think the wheels are coming off; they still look the most likely team to win the league. However, I don't think they are a great team especially when they come up against other decent teams. But sadly, I worry that City are a Harland injury away from dropping off the challenge...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    I don't think it's just one thing . It's a combination of managing game time, lowering intensity and possibly he's benefiting from the medical team having the experience of last year and changing things this year. Of course, I'm not party to what is happening behind the scenes. It's early days...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    A team playing the number of games we do will always pick up some injuries. But aside from the long termers, TF is managing it better than we did this time last season and the turn around to bring those injured players back seems faster. I don't want to speak too soon of course as the season has...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Brentford FC ***

    And yet I think he is rotating the squad like he's always managed 2 games a week, which is impressive and is always on his mind no doubt. I also think he has managed the injury situation very well. Yesterday was a sign we are starting to see some confidence return. Special mention to Archie...

    It's is open to the interpretation of who suffers the biggest infringement. My issue is that it is just not consistently applied.

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    I don't disagree and I'm sure the Saudi Sportswashing Machine defenders did it in their box and weren't penalised. And of course Joelinton gets away with being a thug in every game. But the rule is explained as followed:- Players who only focus on an opponent and pay no attention to challenging for the ball and...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    His club have also shown an incredible amount of patience when it comes to him winning the League at least 6 years I think. I guess the lesson is that if you are patient and back the manager in the transfer market you are likely to have success. That said, it has to be the right manager and what...

    There's an additional rule about not looking at the ball and impeding an opponents play.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Saudi Sportswashing Machine are a tough team to get anything against at home (see recent Carabao cup tie) so pleased to get a point. Penalty seems harsh in that those kinds of challenges happen all the time and it is really difficult to stop someone like Dan Burn getting a head to the ball at set pieces. But by...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Honestly -yes I would back this team. And that decision is based on TF having brought a team up from the Championship and keeping them there season after season. He knows what it takes to keep a team up. I genuinely believe, if he is given time, and some patience from the fan base he will get...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Im going on Saturday and I'm going to support the team until I'm hoarse. I've supported this team for 45 years, through thick and thin (and mostly the latter) and I'll be buggered if I let the boo boys put me off doing that. Hope others will do the same
