    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Answered in a reply just above this. I can see both scenarios creating a lot more than no-one moving. The real coaching 101 is that time and time again, in those moments, we don't have anyone moving. I think the biggest issue with Biss and not Xavi going at that moment is if possession is lost...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    With three CBs I can see that. Equally, I can see a world where Xavi (by design or instinct) moves into that space, brings a marker with him and allows a square ball to Bissouma who would have a lot of space to move into or (if he chose) feed it out wide (I'd rather he went for a channel run...

    How poor is our recruitment that the guy we brought in is now not considered good enough to step up.

    Cristian Romero

    I am being governed by own bias here, because I won't really acknowledge criticisms of Romero in the greater context. He has probably saved Frank's job thrice over, saved our side, and continues to give every last drop for the shirt. Outweighs everything for me. If Frank were half as brave in...

    Milo has a very different, and interesting, take on the pod.

    I don't disagree, but of those players, the following are not deemed good enough by many on here: Bentancur Davies Richy Palhinha Bergvall sits in a neutral area it appears Deki Maddison are both revered Look, I think all are very good players who we miss as options, but just pointing out...

    I agree with your appraisal and stand by my views on him. A good player for sure, but not elite.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It is hard to offer context with that I admit. Sadly, I think we could freeze-frame many similar situations.

    Cristian Romero

    And I return to the issue with management of not letting that happen, of putting in place rules and structures (or commanding the respect) for him to curb himself. I love the fact he is playing as a CF sometimes and scoring goals, but to your point, he is a defender primarily. I wonder if there...

    I always felt Solanke was a 35 million striker we were heavily overpaying for. I do not ever see him getting 20 goals in a season for us. If he got 15 I'd be over the moon.

    I know mate. One of my major issues with all of this has been that this manager appears to not be interested in playing that way.

    I think this is absolutely true and something we don't recognise enough. It is another of the reasons I fudging hated Mourinho; he told Levy that he could bring us over the line with that 2019/20 squad. Which was a lie (Poch even said it woud be a painful rebuild). I think the confluence of...

    Be interested to see what you think of you get to watch a full match replay mate.

    A really interesting and balanced overview which hopefully sparks some good conversation. I'll dive in later.

    In short, we created chances in the first 10 mins via our usual methods. When I'm talking about patterns of play, I'm talking about specific attacking movements involving triggers and movements. It looks to me like all those triggers/movements are designed to get the ball wide and to create...

    Cristian Romero

    First off, we went three at the back today, so another change-up in the Premier League. Secondly, if what you're saying is correct re: organised as a unit, then there has been a dismal failure in coaching today's set-up properly. I think there has been a failure generally in what's being...

    Cristian Romero

    I think he is absolutely a team player, however I think he needs very clear guidelines from the coaches. When with Argentina he locks in perfectly and isn't quite as 'attacking' either because there is neither the need or expectancy. Unfortunately, he is judge and jury for us, being our best...
