    They also have several very distinct mechanisms to progress the ball forwards and into the other lots net.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. I'm a big fan of his. I also think he was playing hurt today. Personally, I would not have started him today given the injury; if anything I'd have brought him off the bench.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's an interesting discussion for sure. I think today, the mitigation would be that he is playing hurt (no way that ankle is much better since Tuesday night). I also think intensity can be measured in different ways. Every time he leaves the pitch, he is drenched in sweat and had mud on his...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My point for the whole season has been that in order for the 10 to be there, you need a manager who wants to instruct/coach a system which encourages that. I've said for sometime that I do not believe Thomas Frank is particularly interested in that sort of player. To your point, he'd rather a CF...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I tried to click the link?! ;) Seriously though, I personally think discussions are great, as are differing opinions. I'd say the opinions are pretty set right now in fairness. I also think in terms of Frank's pressers, we can safely say that he wants not much more than a slightly...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Xavi is most certainly the man I expect to be making a move inside. In the image, it's almost as though he's hiding behind the defender. One thing no-one can level at Xavi is lack of effort, so I have to wonder why he's there and why he's not dropping into those pockets. My conclusion? Lack of...

    ...indeed. There it is. 'The Zone of Emptiness', which is a regular occurrence when we break.

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

    I have an enormous love of the Bowie/Pop/Eno work. What he and Iggy did together was equally excellent. That they shared the same song on respective albums with different titles and lyrics is in and of itself genius!

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

    I think it's fair to say both have their place today. The Berlin trilogy is my favorite era of Bowie.

    I agree there are several issues at play here. I go back to the summer and the fact that Frank actually did not seem to want this type of player until late in the window when options were narrowing. I genuinely believe he'd rather have a fit Bentancur or Pahlinha and Gallagher. I don't see Xavi...

    Appreciate the conversation mate. I think we had more possession and presence but did not see us control the game in a true sense. Romero always plays some passes through the centre; he is pretty much the only one who dares. Most of our chances come as a result of crosses. I want more than...

    @Gutter Boy thankfully it was apparently just cramp (according to Frank - makes sense TBH)...

    ...because when he looks up, the movement and options around him are largely static. I am sure he can be better, but we do not play in a way which sets him up to be the best player he can be (or any player of his type).

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I want us to have a clue as to how to play progressive, attacking football with control. We have not done that since the start of the season. Where is the control in our attacking game? Where is the plan beyond 'spank it in from the wide positions'? Today we were the better side, no argument...

    Exactly! Great post. We have no patterns beyond going wide and/or 'Harlem Globetrotter magic it up' stuff.

    Cristian Romero

    If so that would be madness. I think the issue with him is that due to having no real attacking patterns or plans, he takes it on himself to go forward and do what seemingly few others can do -score somehow. I think he is an outstanding talent who needs to be in a properly managed football...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    Misplaced passes again, another formation in the PL, one player double-double out of position over a potential starter in that position, no pattern of play in attack beyond forcing pressure, looking wide and swinging in crosses. This is not new. It is the same old thing. Week in week out. I see...
