    ...aside from the description, we do also discuss whether James Maddison is the new Wes Anderson! We chat about his rehab films, and ponder whether he is heading for some sort of career in cinema verite/dogme95!!!

    I'll stand up and honestly say that yes, I think the greater onus is on Vicario to make the right initial decision. Gray obviously gets caught on the ball and that is an error. I don't think the error ever needed to be in place to happen.

    In was wondering whether there was something slightly lost in contextual translation there. When I heard it yesterday I was not happy.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Brentford at home are a different team to Forest, especially a Dyche Forest, away. We were coming off two victories against obliging sides, the mood was good, and you'd have thought the table was set to go forwards, at least performance-wise. I just do not think he has any cohesive attacking...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    From yesterday's post-match presser. Make of it what you will. I know my thoughts. To see that he essentially gave up the match after the second goal is somewhat scandalous. "Then the 2-0 goal killed the game off. Basically, we were not in the game after that, in my opinion. That's part of...

    i think you also need to have some stability in squad with regards to minimal injuries.

    Richarlison, Tel and Odobert have been at the club beyond this season. He's upgraded on our top scorer last season yet seems unable to find a way to utilize him from within trhe squad, even in specific games. The midfield has largely been at the club for at least two seasons. Kudus had a full...

    Even though it is not what I want whatsoever, I agree. He needs to do what he wants. It is the ONLY way we will find out where he wants to go/take us. Which at least doesn't leave us pondering...

    I have never viewed MGW as a player who dictates the tempo of matches TBH. He is high-energy. I like him, and I think he's a fine player FWIW. I am simply looking at what we have and what we're doing. Thus far, I am not seeing that he is too interested.

    You're not wrong at all. Again, for me, it comes down to whether he will ever want that playing style or not.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    For me, it has to be a consistent trajectory at least, and it isn't. It looked to me personally as though we tried to play using the middle in the first 30 mins, but due to the aggressiveness of Forest and our lack of cogently coached attacking patterns of play, we ended up running into walls...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Look, you're arguing the toss with someone who agrees we NEED THIS. What I am saying is that all the evidence thus far suggest he does not WANT one, and even if he has one, he will find a way to under-utilize it. BTW, the player we currently rely on the dictate our tempo is Romero, of course...

    He won't excuse himself and yes it was a mistake, but equally, we won't improve as a club if we can't see why that mistake is allowed to happen and Vic wears a good deal of blame. Your point about playing to defenders is right; in fact, Gray dropping in at that speed was bringing someone with...

    Vicario should not have passed to him there. Simple. If he doesn't then the subsequent mistake has no chance of happening. I have explained the 'spatial awareness' reason earlier. Again Vic has the experience.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Disagree. Gray has come some 30 yards from upfield and is trying to take responsibility. As the experienced pro (and with the vision) he should know Gray is not a smart option there; Gray passes by the player who presses him but is in another 'game phase'. Had be been receiving deep he'd have...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    I'll be clear on my part. Yes, we did use young aggressive pressing, but we also had a lot of possession in games and (critically) players who could both play a passing game too. The high-press was a key in those early days, yet once we got the ball we kept it and used it. Very similar to Man...

    Important differential here. I (and it appears you too) believe football needs passers/passing 8s. I don't see anything in the system he appears to favour which necessarily requires that.

    Here's the thing. In ALL the 'we must have patience' discussions, the bit which is NOT ever considered is WHAT we're having patience FOR. If a supporter wants a stronger, better version of non-possession, counter-attacking, wing-driven football (aka Brentord+) then power to them and their...
