    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You are absolutely misquoting me and taking me out of context. Where did I say I 'do not mind losing...'? What I said was that I am not led/dominated by results IF there is a direction. Of COURSE if losses keep happening despite an attractive style then it becomes untenable. I don't care if...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    We had a full week between games for the first time in an age, thus it would have been just like resting him for a midweek match. If there was a concensus that the shape was right, and not one for two forwards, then Richy should've started the game with Muani as an option off the bench IMO. I...

    I saw that and did a double-take!!!! FWIW I thought Spence was really good today, so positive.

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    THSI! I'd like someone to explain to me why we didn't play Muani off Richy today? That scouse defence was there for the roughing and taking, indeed, the spaces between FBs and CBs was huge. Yet once again we ask Muani to try and be the hold-up 9, and many times when breaking we simply don't have...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool Sat. 20th Dec. 5:30pm***

    100% this. It was an ambitious pass to Muani which was (obviously) poorly executed, but you're on point IMO, he is being tasked as the main playmaker and as such, a massive issue in an of itself. We're back at the 'what we need' versus 'does the manager want what we see we need'...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What does that mean mate? I am not chained to raw win/loss results. I am chained to a style of play that I want to see us aim for. If Frank can deliver that, fantastic. As of now, I am not seeing evidence he wants to produce that style of play. That's it. If that is a delusion of grandeur my...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I understand my friend, your kind words are appreciated and I echo them in return. I think the truth here is that we have differing views on the manager (all good) and as such, we are choosing to see different things from his presser on Friday. You did, indeed, supply some accurate quotes...

    Fair enough and I can see that POV. I didn't care for it.

    Have to say, Simon was a MASSIVE loss. Really top guy who absolutely knew his stuff. Really interesting observation...I mean, the path is clear?

    I think he certainly was to an extent, until he saw the silverware potential. On the BBC MNC Rory Smith pointed out that he has pulled the old 'cup pragmatist' thing several times in his career which I did not know and found interesting. Yes indeed, the City question would be intriguing!

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Perhaps, in which case our transfer committee needs calling out, because there's a lot of money there. In think Bergvall's injury came at a time when he was about to be trusted by Frank. I am not sure Frank knows what to do with him. Gray? he responded to the joint error between him and Vicario...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    This I absolutely agree with. As you know I felt they hung Ange out to dry from last Jan (we know why) and I agree, the likes of Lange and VV should be doing more here. Frank's way is not going to help him at this club. Again, it isn't Brentford... p.s. I am aware my bias is tipping. I am...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed. I didn't even mention those but agree...when he said the group who can see 'the bigger perspective' it is actually in line with a lot of people who think they are seeing that but don't necessarily measure it against WHAT that 'bigger perspective' is for. If I am going to be written off...

    Another presser today where I wish he would be courageous and protective. If people keep bringing up the Archie Gray moment last week, protect him. It's done, he said his piece at the time, why not just say 'guys it's been discussed within the dressing room with everyone, mistakes are a team...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    I think the main difference is that this season we have replacements for the injured players. You can question the abilities, but what is undeniable are that the options are far, far better than they were for a few months last season. No Deki? Kudus. No Solanke? Richarlison/Muani/Tel. No...

    I still believe that for 30 minutes we never played better football in this era; some of it was insanely beautiful. The goals were magnificent, well, 2 and 3. That second is one of the best goals I ever saw us score.We survived some serious aggro that day too...a glorious match. What a side...

    All true. What I would add is that the sheer magic of that journey -including the horrendously ugly bits- galvanizes players and staff alike. I will always wonder whether the blend of his style and resolution alongside the players total buy-in alongside their suggestions on modification to...
