    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it’s a really interesting discussion, because it cuts to the heart of what people will or won’t accept. I agree, counter-attacking football can be fluid for sure, a devastating counter at pace which ends up with a goal as the prime example. But it comes down to whether you like that...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it’s pretty simple. Do you want us to be a counter-attacking side or not? Not ‘you’ per se, that’s a general ‘you’. Because currently, I think the ceiling of Frank’s philosophy is to be a ruthlessly efficient counter-attacking side. Sit disciplined in mid to low blocks and strike...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed. I do want to say that I absolutely hope @Muttley is right with regards to Thomas; as I always say we all benefit if so. And as you’ll have read in the thread I started a week ago, I too have sympathy for where Thomas finds himself, because I am damn sure he did not sign up for all the...

    Jaysus, flu in Egypt!!! NOT fun mate, but hey, at least you have loved ones close by to cairo for you!!!!!!!! Happy New Year mate, and look forward to more lively debate in 2026 (BTW, yes, a fine move, classic counter-attack). I’ll allow that sort of thing hahahahahahaha!

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I believe we are arriving at the same conclusion via different vehicles. I am saying we have long, long lost the common sense measure as to what is offensive and what isn’t. Frankly, I think we’d agree on how compromised humour has become in the face of such imbalance. As for ‘legality’ of a...

    Somewhere, Tony Pulis is laughing and quietly expecting a lot of apologies…

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    That, or 4-4-1-1 or ol’ fashioned 4-4-2…I think our best use of Muani/Richy is in a 4-4-1-1 with Muani as the ‘shoulder’ striker operating between the 10 and 9…I always thought Johnson could play that ‘Dele’ off the shoulder role as an option, but given that successive managers have not tried...

    Depending on your perspective/context, it was either Gabriel praising his teammate amidst his teammate’s bizarre 3rd person self-glorification, or it was like being door-stepped by Jehovahs for 2 minutes!

    Did anyone see the post-match interview with Gabriel and Jesus? 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    I have always wanted to see if he could learn/play a 'second striker' role off the CF. Ghost runner through the channels. I suppose that would require a passer and a style we are not interested in...

    Key moment of that match too. They go to 10 there and it is game on.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's funny you mention Brazil. I loved their 82 side. I saw every Brazil game in 1994 WC Finals bar the SF, and knew early on they'd be very hard to beat because of Dunga and to an extent Mauro Silva. Dunga was the player they needed, and he allowed a 'less than typical' Brazil game to be far...

    Richarlison

    Well we can play Odobert on the left and Muani in the middle if that's the case. That, BTW, wouldn't be 'Peter-Paul' and in fact it would be less so than playing Muani on the left and leaving Odobert on the bench (remember, I still think Odobert needs work but he is more natural there than...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Sadly it does seem as though many here read what I'm writing and leap to the assumption that I don't believe in adapting/tweaking when necessary, etc. I don't even know if it is worth explaining TBH, however needless to say, having watched, played, and (amateur level) coached football for the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    1. I hope you're right. It is the only question which needs answering IMO. 2. With Pep and Klopp you have chosen two managers with such enormous personalities and definitive styles. I think you are too quick to label me as someone who does not believe in degrees of pragmatism. Not the case...
