    Been saying for quite a while now that a tweak to our buildup with a 4-2-3-1 system would be to have him drop into the back line in buildup where he looks more comfortable, allowing Gray/whoever to be in that receiving the ball in midfield role and allowing the full backs to move a bit higher...

    Absolutely. And on the ball too, like suddenly doing an ambitious cross field pass under pressure.

    Fair enough, we see that differently.

    In addition to the two goals they had Haaland through on goal, they had the Cherki shot close to goal from a tight angle. Sure goals were a result of us losing possession, but that's kind of what happens when we struggle that badly to progress the ball. All first half us having possession...

    You don't think there's a pattern there of them and us looking better when we as a team take the handbrake off, play with more attacking intent, more players getting forward? I think when we're playing more cautiously we're essentially playing in a way that demands individual brilliance to...

    Hopefully a precautionary sub, no way that was tactical.

    Really good second half after a for me poor first half. Keep reading that our players just aren't good enough, but to me it seems that almost every time we take the handbrake off we look alright. Can't be too harsh on Frank after that second half and with the number of players missing up...

    My humour isn't the best (or so I've been told, I like it), I'll just assume the stuff that seems far fetched is the funny bit 😉

    Djed Spence

    How do you see his strengths? I think he's at his best driving forward with the ball, tight spaces too and getting out of those with skill and physicality. Not a great crosser or creative passer, not bad at it, but not a strength. Defensively he's really good one on one, but maybe sometimes...

    Are you being serious with these kinds of comments these days or is it a parody thing?

    Archie Gray

    You should have course be right. I think he may just be good enough, and more importantly mature enough both in his attitude and how he plays that even the youth-phobic Mourinho could have played him. Maybe I overrate him somewhat (Gray, not Mourinho).

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, that was pretty much my impression too. We got 5 points from those games. So with us as an example of PL domination in Europe looking just at the table/results is somewhat misleading. Haven't seen any of the games with other English teams so no idea if they've been more convincing.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Depends what one means by quality? Perhaps also a point that while teams in the PL will struggle with the physicality of some opponents teams in the PL are much more used to coming up against that. Teams from other leagues aren't and adjusting to that takes more than a game or two. In our case...

    Archie Gray

    I'm definitely all for giving managers and coaches credit, past and present. And for sure he seemed to develop well under Ange too and I think he got real valuable experience last season. I think the main thing with him is that he's a fantastic talent with a maturity well beyond his years though.

    Wilson Odobert

    He's still young enough that we imo shouldn't put too much pressure on him to perform short term. But some of his recent performances have been showing what he can do and I'm excited to see if he can do more of the same in tougher games. We sure could do with him keeping this up.

    Transfer thread

    I would give them until the summer before making strong statements on their intentions. Not looking great at this point, but the January window is difficult and all that.

    Transfer thread

    The risk of relegation, as minute as it may be, maybe changes the picture enough for a change of approach? (Usually I would definitely agree better to keep our powder dry than to bloat the squad with players who will end up being another not quite good enough player). We do have a history of...

    Archie Gray

    Said this last season, but being able to slot in at full back and at CB like ymhe did last season in a dysfunctional team and looking good is almost unheard of for a player that young. His composure under pressure both on the ball and in general just being on the pitch in difficult circumstances...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    One of several attacking players suffering from a lack of service imo. Had he gotten better service he may have gotten a small handful of PL goals and things could have been different. At the same time right now we need players who will do their utmost and fight for every point regardless of...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    We definitely agree on a quality passer in midfield being something we lack and have lacked for quite a while. Bergvall isn't an elite passer, but he's well capable of progressing the ball though the middle (with risk), we've seen Bentancur's progressive passing stats essentially halved from...
