    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Well, given the ludicrous amount of money he spent on those players only to then sack the manager he got them for weeks later, probably so.

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    I do feel sympathy for Frank in that regard. He has come into a club under one regime, seen that swept aside, and is now amidst a new regime itself bedding in. It is far from ideal.

    Cristian Romero

    Oh I saw it. I personally do not call that a kick; it barely registers a flick. It was silly for sure and Romero needs to try and not react despite the weight of challenge, however given the gamestate and how many times I see similar situations end up with a player wrapping his hand around...

    Mohammed Kudus

    I feel really sorry for Kudus. He is constantly our main chosen outlet, and as such carries a weight every single time he is on the ball. We are often caught too deep to have men ahead of the ball (let's face it, Muani's a nice player but he doesn't bust a gut to get into the final third on...

    Cristian Romero

    We are going to struggle big-time against Palace. Everything will be lasered in on Porro as the only real passer we have, Kudus will be doubled and pressed. If we are going to sit in and do the horseshoe boogie, I'd like to see Johnson on the left in the rare hope we can quickly get the ball...

    I think we will be fine based on the poverty of the bottom three...but we are certainly heading for dodgy territory. We go to Palace without Romero and Xavi, Solanke has reportedly 'had a setback' (whatever that means), Udogie being out is a big miss, and IMO, people are mistaking the passion...

    We will see the full-press of the football world now to try and get VdV retroactively banned or something like that.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think, in fairness, it is based on the notion of giving the manager the players he supposedly wanted...and then maybe letting him either elevte them or sink with them. It was a period in our history I think we will pay for eternally. Levy made up with Poch that summer (perhaps he shouldn't...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Am I missing a pattern of play, beyond the enforced 'counter' tactice with 10 men which basically meant we had no de facto 10 in Simons? It is possible to have enjoyed the fight of the performance, enjoyed the energy of the chaos, feel sorry for the team and Frank, and still recognise we were...

    Xavi Simons

    I think you're absolutely right in fairmess. But why did the ref see a yellow when it was right in front of him? Maybe he felt it was clumsy but not endangering an opponent or violent conduct? On replay I thought he'd be fortunate to escape. I wish these decisions were judged equally across the...

    We will never know about GLC or Ndombele because they were signed for Poch who then got 12 or so games with them before being brick-canned for 'a winner'...BTW, prime Eriksen says hi...

    Sorry? I don't understand what you're asking and in what context?

    Xavi Simons

    The ref -despite his penchant for giving Liverpool most things- saw it on field as a yellow; straight in front of him. Attwell, miles away in an office building, slowed it down enough to make sure the ref could be summoned to the monitor. It was a VAR-red. Not a human ref one.

    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'...
