    What song are we currently (a bit of fun here so take in that spirit!)…

    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...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    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.

    Care to join the conversation or just take a pot-shot?!!!

    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…

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I don’t disagree with much of this. But let me ask you, why do you think (in this case) Frank took the job? What did he get sold (and buy) if the squad was that bad and the foundations so poor? What has happened since the early days of ‘we stand on the shoulders of others…’ and ‘…build upon this...

    I’ve seen this ‘entitled’ comment here and there. In this context, what do you mean?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    When Frank came in, Levy was still chairman and no-one saw his abrupt departure coming (well, a few did, but factually he was firmly in place). I have since given him plenty of leeway on that front -I started a thread dedicated to seeing the mitigating circumstances he was dealing with. He...

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

    I think the Arsenal effectiveness is a little wide of the mark. Yes, set-pieces are their friend. However they also look to play some superb football. Did you see how they took Villa apart? Odergaard was superb, even Zubemendi -a sixy type player - was looking to create. What Arteta has done...

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

    I found this to be a really well articulated counter-perspective. As you’ve seen in previous threads, I do have sympathy for Frank with regards to what he is dealing with around him. I think everyone is aware of my perspective on the pitch FWIW, but again, some really decent counter-points to...

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

    This all day. And it is selling out these players. Before the ‘this is an average bunch of plodders wot do u expect’ clamour rises again, the way we set up does nothing to offer these players the best chance of success with regards to playing football. They are set-up to be risk-averse first, to...

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

    Oh no, you just don't see it with Frank...bringing on Muani? Change the SHAPE so as he and Richy can pair up!!!! DON'T shove him off to the left!!! He is NOT a LW player! Bring Gray back into midfield and play with a pair 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 if you don't have a LW but DO have two forwards! THAT'S...

    If I continually prepare baklava with barbeque sauce and serve it as a main meal, I am neglecting the best use of this baklava and not allowing its sweetness to shine. Make of that analogy what you will (just remember to have baklava as a dessert and support it as a dessert with the appropriate...

    Have you ever watched any old keystone cops films? Even Marx Bros The Big Store? There was no cohesive plan.

    A 'negative dreamer' eh? You'll have to explain that.

    Nah Mikey, you're better than a snide like that. You can play this as me taking a stand which needs 'approval', the truth is you have been equally dismissive of any criticisms of Frank or perceived lack of patience. So let's be gentlemen here and call THAT situation a draw.
