    It’s bizarre mate. I genuinely don’t get it.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Good for you @Bishop . The world is made up of many different people. I like to try and put a certain amount of stock in people’s public words, and I think it is very cynical to believe that it is all ‘fluff’ designed simply for optics. Obviously there is a message decided upon, however what you...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    It’s simple. You either believe Thomas Frank will introduce a different type of football to the club when he gets the services of Deki and Maddison back, or you don’t. That in turn is based on how you view his time at Brentford matched with what we’ve seen so far this season. Perhaps the only...

    in the end, as long as you are tighter in defence, that is the style of play which wins trophies (Bilbao not withstanding LOL)

    I think he has also suffered from the way we're playing this season, as well as the different leadership.

    Brilliant post, thank you!

    I think the main reason Bergvall is getting a full pass from fans (including, admittedly, me) is because he is showing enormous personality and desire every time he steps onto the pitch, something we've really lacked. You and others make some good points about his performance level versus his...

    He will give an instant dressing room boost for sure. I like the character he displays a lot.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Equally @billyiddo , this is a really interesting piece which supports your thoughts with regards to the possibilities, and was the main thing I believe most of us were looking for from Frank/wondering if he would or could. I suppose we're still at the 'uncertain' point. I just wish there were...

    What the technical definition of a through ball is in the context of the stat? Unimportant to me for sure in the bigger picture. How we actually progress the ball/attempt to up the pitch to our attackers? Of vital importance!!! Understanding the point you were looking to make with regards to the...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I haven't 'jumped in' at all, I've asked and then asked fior clarification mate, that's all. I am desperately attempting rational discussion on all of this. However, seeing as we're here, I'm still misundertanding. You said that the statistical definition of a 'through ball' is a ball played...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Honestly, the definition of the stat is not too important to me (albeit I appreciate that it important to know how it is being defined in such context). My biggest issue is how we are looking to get that ball behind the defence, and it is clear that Frank generally favours doing so via wide...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    You're right and honestly, I owe the man's memory a large apology. (that final goal was the one which really sparked the theories.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    It appears we are simply not interested in signing midfielders who can offer a progressive pass option from deeper positions. Maddison would often drop in and pick the ball up off the CBs so as he could carry and then thread a pass into the forwards/attacking players. Right now, the only person...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    This has absolutely been the main question I've had since he was appointed; would he/will he develop a style of play that less counter-heavy, more possession/front-foot, and one which uses the middle more? Currently it appears not. One thing people are missing when we have an exciting 20-25 mins...
