    He is challening someone isn't he.

    The thing is mate, he isn't 'pony' and in fact there's a really good player in there if properly coached.

    Here's the actual post that @Raziel is referring to. Looks to me like it squarely aimed at Lange. Remarkable to do this TBH. On the one hand I wish such things could be done behind closed doors. On the other hand, I'd say that approach has been tried. I think he's going to get disciplined by...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it's a really interesting discussion and pertains to structure through the team. In order to accomodate attacking/front-foot players, you need a structure which supports them. I think if played 10 yards higher up the pitch, VdV and Romero are excellent. I think when you have a Palhinha...

    We wholly agree on such a bricky approach; it would have me scratching my head too!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    IMO a puff-piece is needed, if only to restate what is going on. I appreciate that it won't happen. I think he is absolutely relying on Langhe to direct the football ethos of the club. Edu's talents as a DoF are certainly not iron-clad, however the point I was making was that his relationship...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    As soon as Bournemouth scored you could see the fear. We're short of confidence. When we went 2-1 down I thought we were in for a pasting. I was impressed to see the fight to hang in and try to bring the game again.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    Hughton was far more two-footed than most. He also had Tony Galvin roaring outside him, allowing him to invert more often than not/swap with Galvin when necessary. He was my favorite player alongside Glenn during those years, what a player!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think in light of the conversations I've tried to have -the balanced ones- this is exceptionally unfair. Do I also have to remind you of this thread? Here, just in case...I started it on Christmas Eve (LOL)...it has been buried since. EDIT: I had to re-read that, as initially, it felt you...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed, that is sadly the era we live in. I'll say I have repeatedly tried to understand and cede discussions as to what is going on, whilst maintaing my personal opinion that I do not like the overall way we are playing football. Of all the nights though, tonight I do have a larger degree of...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree, however we have 2 wins in 12, mounting injuries too. We at least have to be aware that right now, getting the necessary wins is not going to be a cakewalk. All of a sudden the West Ham game looks absolutely massive. We simply cannot afford anything less than three points in that...

    Again, and not to belabour the point but it seems to have been missed, I started a thread about this exact series of issues a few weeks back.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's just ugly all round. There has rarley been any balance to the discussions around Thomas Frank, and much of that is probably not his fault at all (the Sissoko Rule again!)... The world is generally feeling pretty stressed and toxic right now, so football as a last escape, well, when it isn't...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You'll remember a few weeks back I started a thread to somewhat offer some mitigation for what Frank is going through. I have not been shy in saying I do not like his style of football, but I am also able to see that he is also in an unfortunate situation.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Certainly a question worth asking, but seeing as our CBs are starters for their nations and our FBs internationals too, I'd say there's more to it. The keeper is certainly suspect in several ways. I still think with those two CBs playing the same amount of games last season as this, we'd have...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I wholly agree, he is absolutely behaving like a VP of something and not a leader. People bang on about his goon-time; he had a stong DoF there in Edu, whose relationship with Arteta was key in them surviving. He is relying on the same dynamic with Frank and Lange IMO; a dangerous strategy.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    As a philosophy and way of being, it eternally works for me. If you want another approach, pray for some Petro-dollared fudgeheads to storm in and sportwash viaus, because as far as I can see (with the passable exception of Liverpool) those teams have swept up for approximately two decades (the...

    YOU do. Maybe some of us do. Johan Lange doesn't. It would be tantamount to admitting he got something wrong himself, and he won't do that without a fight. I think a lot of our issues go back to Lange. He is driving our identity, Frank is just his employee...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Behave @Raziel . @Finney Is Back has consistently been one of the more articulate observers of truths here. In isolation -and meted against what we have seen- I think he is absoloutely right about tonight. Again, given we are where we are, it's probably best to try and see any green shoots...
