    Mauricio Pochettino

    It is the main reason I am against the idea. Would be as heart-breaking as when he was turned on the first-time, maybe more so…

    Scottish Football

    I have heard the odd whisper of recalling him. I sincerely hope we don’t. he is finding himself at Rangers and coming back to our current situation would be poor.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The funny thing is, much like it always has been around here, the only reason it keeps coming up is because some people try to cross-compare and end up in some way belittling -let me be more polite, rewrite the narrative of his time. So yes, yawn yawn yawn, some of us feel it is important to...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Honestly, it is absolutely nothing to do with not wanting to give Frank any credit. I don’t play those games personally. I also don’t care for narratives or tropes or whatever else you might want to say in that regard. As for understanding that 19 year olds need managers and coaching, I have to...

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

    Emery is very, very underrated, which seems bizarre to say about a guy who has won the Europa League what, 3 or 4 times? Early season Villa were on the rocks; instead of panicking, as you have said, looks like Emery doubled-down and demanded they actually be braver on the ball when they have it.

    I am hoping to be able to add “Beautiiful Day” sooner than later…”Epic” by FNM…avoiding “Desolation Row” would be an achievement right now!!!!

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

    Of course, I thought the reason for signing Palhinha was to free players like Bentancur even further and allow them to be even more creative…

    Fantastic submissions these…might be worth keeping this thread up every week or so with contributions based on how we’re feeling!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So regarding Gray. What changes specifically? I think the luxury Frank has had which his predecessor hasn’t is that he’s been able to play him in midfield because the defence has largely been fit. As we know, midfield is Archie’s favoured position, so I think the fact he’s getting to play there...

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

    I think Emirates Marketing Project and Arsenal have demonstrably better technical squads than the other 18 teams below them. Next would be Chelsea, who have an abundance of very technically gifted yet raw and young players. After that, I think there’s a lot of parity. Villa are punching above their weight with a...

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

    I was discussing from the perspective of the squad quality only. I keep reading how average and poor this squad is. I think even with the current availability it is 7th with a different approach. The margins are fine for sure, and I believe with a different approach to play we’d have 6-7 more...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think Dom is a good striker. Personally, no more than an (old money) 40-45 million one. Strong, brave, efficient, only one good goal scoring season really. We miss him but if we’re looking to upgrade Richy then we must also be looking to upgrade him too, albeit I agree he does lots for the team.

    As many of you who have been here a minute or more know via your own suffering, I love a good metaphor (or a dodgy one - see recent baklava/barbeque sauce)…music is such an important thing for most of us, and can often be a fun metaphor for times being endured. So in THAT spirit, wanna have a...

    I think this is enormously honest. You’ve said it as you feel it without trying to denigrate any other opinion. Much respect Sir!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You’ve answered a question I just asked in this thread a little earlier. Did you ever fully gauge what he did for this football club? I’m asking the question because an assumption would be unfair.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Poch knew exactly what he had with Dele. Most managers would’ve been scared by him precisely because of what he was. I blame Southgate for starting his decline when he decided to deploy Dele in an unnatural position for him in order to also be able to play Lingaard, thus introducing the idea...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Did many ever really appreciate it at the time, or did they just enjoy the results? That’s the question I’m left asking the most about that era…
