    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it's a really interesting discussion and one I addressed probably just above this. I think the main difference is where that happens on the pitch. Under Postecoglu, whilst we were often frustrated, we were consistently bringing the game to people and would end up side-to-side as teama...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it comes down to approach. Risk or no risk. Postecoglu encouraged risk whenever there was a chance of a goal scoring opportunity. Thomas encourages safety unless there's a high-percentage chance of a goal scoring opportunity. Of course this all adds further scrutiny to our recruitment...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    We (as we all know hahahaha) played a higher line and (as we all know hahaha) took greater risks with the FBs via the inversion, so via the press and risks taken, we ended up creating more. I think it's a fair point that we have no Maddison this season, however I have a huge issue with a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    If you changed that first line to say 'lack of progressive passing midfielders' then I'd be in total agreement. The 'horse-shoe nonsense'? How many times do we go side to side and up the sides? Or is that 'imagination'? Again, (and this seems to be something you either refuse to acknowledge...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Why do you make these sorts of statements? Why do you not only present aggressive judgemental opinions, but then couch them as 'facts'? Look, if you want to make sure you have the gold 'I Supported You Thomas' badge should it all work out, don't worry, you have it and will be noted as such.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I absolutely have the stomach for a 'project' which would carry that style and approach. I'd have given the bloke who won a trophy more time personally, but everyone measures patience versus reward differently of course...

    You could not make this up. For a side whose only realy methof of 'creation' is to look wide, we now don't have a fit natural winger. Brilliant.

    The bigger disgrace was him taking the job!!!! And Houston as his asst!!!! I always respected Adams, who essentially told Graham to fudge off when GGG invited him to be as asst! Good for The Donkey.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Again, are you actually interested in a discussion/theory, or are you parking that question out there so as you can double/triple down?

    Indeed.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    So you are effectively saying that the same people responsible for hiring Thomas Frank have little clue when it comes to spotting competent footballers, let alone paying them vast sums of money and (in some cases) large transfer fees to procure their (by your definition bricky) services. And you...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The question still remains what he is a long term fit for. The club as we’ve always known it, or the current boardroom with it’s ‘new suave’ suits and analysts and data-driven decisions (before anyone pipes up, I don’t mind data at all but it cannot be the sole driver of a football club’s...

    …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...
