Thomas Frank - Head Coach

[MartyFunkhouser]

I doubt Frank had any say in the Son matter - he was quite clearly off for something new having won the trophy

Same and I think the timelines were laid out by Son in one of his interviews

You can sense the Peterson Podcasters firing up now with "well he ain't going to call him crap is he"

It's so easy to see that Frank is a good guy, nice words from VDV - you can tell he's a people person, hopefully that will help nurture some of the younger players...

If he did half the job he did at Chelsea with this squad, we'll be flying.

There's no point waiting till the summer. If there's no Frank green shoots in the next 2 or 3 games, make the phonecall now

I've not seen any real pressing from us yet under Frank, well certainly not a coherent press anyway. When I was watching the Chelsea v Aston Villa game a few days ago I couldn't help but admire Chelsea's press, it was really high, intense and well drilled. The way that Aston Villa were able to play through it in the second half was even more impressive, some really brilliant stuff. Must say that I really enjoyed the second half of that game, really high quality football played.

We were pressing Palace

It wasn’t the most fierce and intense. We only use it when there is a point to it so we don’t run players into the ground for nothing. More to come on these details no doubt. We can improve our pressing, how and when it’s deployed and team coordination.

Seeing as we’re back at Ange v Frank again (LOL), I think it is worth pointing out that Ange came into a bigger mess with bigger needs. No Kane (and not really knowing it until deadline day), undoing the Conte/Stellini mess of the previous season, moving away from mid-level bloated squad players into a new direction; that was a lot of work. Frank himself came in saying ‘we stand on the shoulders of others’ and spoke loudly about ‘building on the foundations Ange built’, yet here we are and it’s apparently now going to take a long time to and people need to know there’s no ‘quick fix’, we’re apparently ‘not really a CL club’, and so on and so forth.
It’s two messages.
The only thing I can conclude is that despite all the homework Frank will have done, he simply did not understand what he was stepping into.

LOL is right.

The narrative from those who didn’t want Ange sacked is hilarious. We are moving forwards! Let it go
