    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    At present Thomas Frank is rated our 4th worst manager since the premier league started in terms of points per game. Even Christian Gross had a better record. The bad news is that after the next 4 games I suspect he'll slip below Santini and become our 3rd worst manager of the PL era, perhaps...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Again, you miss my point.... I'm saying that I doubt Frank is going and demanding that the board go out and sign players. He is probably avoiding any contact with them in case they suddenly happen to remember their duty to the club and sack him... Out of sight out of mind and all that! As...

    I doubt it. I certainly don't.

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

    I think he was in the box with just about every other member of our team expecting a long throw.... We basically left Xavi to deal with 3 opponents Walker, Anthony and Humphreys - just another example of Thomas Frank's awful coaching.

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    You've missed my point entirely. The manager needs help (I think he needs sacking, but if not sacking him then at least give him help). However, in the precarious position he is in due to our terrible form he may not feel brave enough to be demanding that the board go and sign a player or two...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Also doesn't help that the manager is hanging on to his job by a thread. He probably doesn't feel confident to go and demand players the way that (say) Redknapp would right now.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    You mean exactly how we have got into this particular current mess?

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    The problem is that players better than him are aiming higher than Spurs if moving clubs.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Rooted to his line for the first goal (a ball delivered to edge of 6 yard area, where Vic's starting position as the ball was crossed was about half the distance compared to Burnley's scorer. For their second goal he did his standard thing of pushing the ball back out towards the centre of the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    The noises coming out of Palace were that they would sell for £35m. Considering we'd be able to punt him on for £20-£25m this summer at the very worst that seems like a good "don't get relegated" insurance policy to me?

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    No chance.... The only signings we'll make (which I think will be zero, unless the situation changes at Liverpool and we get Robertson) will be players who can come straight in and help us avoid relegation. The club aren't going to be paying big money for injured players, loading up the wage...

    Andy Robertson

    Souza is 19 years old with barely even any experience in Brazilian football. I suspect he'll play under 21 football for us or get loaned out to continue his development.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Let's keep everything crossed that Solanke stays fit then and also strap in for the relegation battle ride! (if we really are back to this sell to buy crap then maybe relegation and the inevitable sale of THFC is the best option for us!)

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I think he would work really well in Frank's anti football system and could also work in most systems. Apparently available (for the right price) proven in England, could come straight in and contribute, means we're not preying that Solanke doesn't get injured and weakens a direct rival for...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    He has been bad for a long while. Criminal that we didn't upgrade last summer and even more criminal that we haven't in this transfer window.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    So did I, though at least we were losing that game from a position of absolutely not being able to get relegated :D What are your thoughts on Mateta by the way?

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    The midfielder is a good signing, in that he is a better number 8 than anyone else currently at the club. I agree though that the club haven't helped Frank much. Mateta would be perfect for Frank's hoof it up or sling in a cross tactics. He could share the load with Solanke and mean that we...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I don't. Our defenders are leading the scoring because we score most of our goals direct from set pieces or from the second ball in immediately after a set piece, or when we're losing the game and leave a centre back up there in the final few minutes to try to hail mary an equaliser. We're not...

    Wilson Odobert

    See my post above. Dortmund changed shape, which allowed them to match up their LCB against Odobert and their left wing back against Porro. In the first half Porro and Odobert were doubling up on Dortmund's left back. I have almost never seen a full back fare well when having to try to cope...

    Wilson Odobert

    It was partly because Porro was pushing forward and Dortmund's left back had two to deal with most of the game making it quite easy for Odobert. Once Dortmund moved to a 3-5-1 system in the second half they managed to control Porro and Odobert much better (by the wing back and LCB combining to...
