    *** OMT: Spurs vs Sunderland*** Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday 4th January, 3pm

    …an allowance I agree with (tis one of the reasons I think XG is a flawed statistic) yet a courtesy I have not seen extended to other managers…

    *** OMT: Spurs vs Sunderland*** Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday 4th January, 3pm

    I think his best position is either a narrow three or as a second striker off the CF. When he is able to drift in between the channel/10/CF spots, he is really effective. If we had a passer in midfield, if we even bothered to try and progress play through the middle, I think we’d really see his...

    *** OMT: Spurs vs Sunderland*** Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday 4th January, 3pm

    Indeed. Why not have put Richy left, Muani CF, Odobert right for example? I still cannot fathom how he feels the need to always pair Bentancur with Palhinha when they are on the pitch together, especially yesterday when first-half, Bentancur looked like he was enjoying having a little more...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Sadly I absolutely agree…it feels like a weird parallel universe where such an appt is made. Further, I think he is counter to anything this board/regime seems set up to work with. I honestly am not sure we will ever see a personality of that size and presence at the club under its current...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    I think that is very much the case, mate, yes. Romero and VdV are superb defenders in an attacking system where they play 10 yards higher, it makes the most of their skillsets and vision/drive. We saw yesterday that Bentancur can be progressive as we remember, yet he was essentially put back...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    IF we’re not going to play attractive possession-based football and are looking to be ruthless and successful, I’d rather see Simeone than anyone else of that mould. Of course he may never ever leave AM, but if he showed a hint of wanting to, providing we were prepared to back him, I’d go all...

    So you’re agreeing with me? ;)

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Not sure we disagree on much TBH. I won't get into why, but trust me, there's a slew of posts which would make that clear.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it is only fair to Frank to openly discuss this. Furthermore, I think Frank is being left to weather it all again with zero public support from Lange and Venketeshum, bar the odd leaked 'heard he's got full support' stuff. If Venketeshum wanted to directly support Frank, he could easily...

    These common sense statements get lost in the swirl.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    One thing to share...during the pod just now, we opened up a conversation as to why Thomas Frank is actually (in several senses) relatively blameless regardless of our views on how this club should play or not. He appears to be doing the very best job he can. I have to remind myself of the...

    No I know. You said it looked good doubtless because of the Brentford Everton result. I think I misinterpreted what you were saying initially, thus my unnecessary response; apologies mate.

    Again, the point never looked bad. How we got it? Looked awful.

    The Gym/Fitness/Health thread

    Yes thanks, as much as we can anyhow. So sorry to hear about the anxiety stuff, albeit I can relate to an extent. I hear a lot about things like EMDR…one thing which was incredible for our family was a program called DBT therapy (essentially it was for my daughter but as a family we all went and...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    …in which case I wonder why he didn’t ever try Kudus as a 10 (or even forward) and Johnson wide? He has essentially decided that Kudus and Johnson are competing for the same one position and forced one out the door because he doesn’t ‘fit’ the plan? I’d have thought if you had other ideas on how...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Is it that people cannot accept that Frank wants us to be a counter-attacking side full-stop, and are genuinely of the belief that once he gets Deki and Solanke back that he will suddenly unfurl a new style of play? I don’t know anymore, only that it’s getting as tedious as last season!!!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed. We got to the CL Final with Winks and Sissoko in midfield. I think a few people round here need to let that sink in. In fact, all I’ve seen in what is another of these absurd ‘debates’ is that a lot more people than I thought did not really understand what Pochettino did, the...
