Thomas Frank - Head Coach

[Jurgen the German]

Palace, Brentford, Sunderland, west ham, Burnley….

What we deserved was W, D, L, L, D. Absolute waste.

Honestly the spin is incredible!

I’m amazed people (ok one poster) keep insisting Vicario was fouled for the West Ham keeper rather than admit he’s just weak and cowardly when it comes to set pieces. Their winner wasn’t a foul in any world or alternate universe.

How many more times do we need to see chaos-ball in the 2nd half?

edit; Really good point by the way! The above comment is not about today.

I don’t know what you mean by that even after your edit? You can definitely make the case that we have been poor in the first half of several recent games . But today for example, TF tweaked it second half and we were the better team? We passed well, battled and won second balls and scored 2 goals. Isn’t that just good football? It wasn’t chaos ball against Burnley either? Or WestHam, where we picked up and played well after a poor first half. In fact iirc we were unlucky not to score the winner before WHAM did.

Seems to be that Spurs play fairly conservatively and try to keep it 0-0 and tight... then when we go 2 goals down we say "F THIS" and are much more proactive in our play and force ourselves forwards, right at the moment that the opposition start to sit back a bit and rest on their winning position.

It is very hard to assess but I think that is the pattern... if we are drawing we play within ourselves, if we are winning we sit back and try to hang on, if we are losing we really go for it. Am I wrong?

Thomas Frank still needs to take the handbrake off. We have seen it so many times now. Let us swarm over our rivals, let us attack and give pressure to our opponents and we come alive. This is the do or die decision that will decide his future. If he unleashes us against United, lets us start as if we were in the second half, not the first, then we will start to win more. I mean we caused mistakes from City’s players under pressure and we ought to have ended up winning. Surely he can see that?! If he can’t then he has no future with us. Trust the team and set them free.

Well that’s a matter of opinion, I’m still not seeing any structure or patterns of play in attack, it’s just run around a lot when we’re chasing a game.

What do you mean by TF tweaked it? Romero going off injured/sick?
