    Who's left for Dortmund

    Similar issues for Frankfurt? VdV back in, but Bergvall out. Palhinha could perhaps be back, anyone else? Muani is available, but hasn't been good and was left on the bench with Scarlett coming on against Burnley when we needed a goal. Bare bones? Go again for players playing through fatigue...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Think it will hinge on the away game to United too, if he lasts that long. Depends of course on how those teams below us do (particularly West Ham), but somewhere between zero and three points from those games and we could quite possibly be counting ourselves in a relegation scrap. On one...

    Cristian Romero

    I think in general we don't do enough to make sure crosses are under pressure. Seen those half hearted attempts at closing down crosses quite a few times this season. Xavi not doing that starting his second game in a handful of days playing through injury with him putting in a real shift in...

    Cristian Romero

    Agreed and I'm probably biased on him too for those and other reasons. One other being that in a team that is severely lacking and ability and willingness to play progressive passes with risk he's one of very few who is both good enough and willing to do that. To paraphrase what you said on the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Good point on the pod that post City may be the best in terms of timing if we are to replace Frank with a caretaker. A midweek off between games and don't chuck a new guy/caretaker into the mess that will be the City game. Also if Frank then manages to get results against Frankfurt and City...

    Cristian Romero

    Thought it was a good take. For sure Romero gets done. IIRC the ball passes by the player he charges on to, either he gets done by a good piece of play or a bit of coincidence. It happens. I guess I can understand the criticism for that goal. If he doesn't charge out they probably don't score...

    Cristian Romero

    Is there really a narrative around his concentration costing us because the ball went under your foot? Just to be clear, not doubting you as such, just find that baffling...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Not obsessed with Paratici at all. More that I have doubts about Lange doing that job on his own. We need the people who should be in charge of these decisions in place first to make the decisions they need to make. After that giving the head coach time becomes a thing we can or can't do...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    For me. First of all a solution to the DoF question. Is Lange the one to be trusted without Paratici? Someone else alongside him? A better team around him? Or someone in above or instead of him? From there figure out an overall plan for how we want to play. Not just now, but for at least 5...

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

    Guess we can hope that games against bigger teams will be more suited to Frankball and that rather than throwing a caretaker right into this mess and really difficult fixture list there's more chance of Frank finding some solutions. And if not a slightly easier time fixture list wise for someone...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Has anyone said that a new manager will solve all our problems? The only time I remember seeing anything resembling that argument was last season when Ange was in charge.

    Cristian Romero

    Played to the point where he's cramping up. Played RCB in a two, LCB in a three, CCB in a three. Never stops changing ahead of him and around him. Keeps scoring now too, keeps giving his all. Best player we have. Would be great if we had someone even better than him, but his position is...

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

    If Frank was always going to go with a back 3 against Burnley because that suited that game I wouldn't think of it as desperate. But having just gotten a result with that against Dortmund, then going again with that against Burnley - a very different team than Dortmund. I thought one of the...

    A caretaker would have the rest of the season to focus on rather than keeping them in the job for the next game/week.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Fully agreed. Just to add. He's not in trouble because of the last 5-6 games, he's in trouble because of what's happened across the season. At that point the only thing that turns things around are results. Improvements in performance are always welcome imo, though performing better against some...

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

    In reference to conversations about what could change if we get a caretaker. I think maybe that's one thing that could change. Get out of this short term/next game focus. Make some smart decisions including priorities. I know Tel is far from the finished product, and I don't think he's some...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think we have been somewhat unlucky recently. But we've also caught breaks. Burnley's several failed clearances before the VdV goal yesterday. Red card for Dortmund. Romero scoring repeatedly when we get desperate. Scoring first against Burnley, Bournemouth and Sunderland. It seems Muani is...

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

    Definitely agree that we need to see what Solanke can actually do under this/another manager. Also though. We could have kept Tel in the CL squad and maybe Solanke would have been fresher for this game. We could have started Muani against Dortmund and not have Xavi start twice in quick...

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

    Yeah, really could do with some fine, or not so fine, margins to go our way in the coming games. Hoping that Palace, Forest and Leeds lose today/tomorrow is not a good feeling. Particularly knowing the fixtures we have coming in February.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed that this performance in isolation was fine. We were a bit unlucky not to win. I don't think we've been unlucky overall this season, but I have asked before (when imo we were still a bit lucky with results compared to performances) what will happen when we get a period when we're unlucky...
