    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    A way of stopping the unmarked men at the far post would be to dedicate someone to stop that - like having the central midfielders drop deeper earlier so there's more players defending the box if the attack ends with a cross. Oh, new problem arises. Not enough pressure on shots from outside the...

    Said this before, but if we're trying to implement a more attacking style of play mid season it's at best going to take time and be a bumpy ride. For a while. Being able to do so against teams that end up being more accommodating in that regard (Slavia, Brentford) and struggling against a team...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    There's a limit to how many times we can show up and be clearly second best in a game we shouldn't be and keep giving a manager time. I'm not saying we're at that limit, I don't know where that limit is either. But there is a limit. We do have weaknesses in the squad for sure. And squad...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Some signs in the Brentford and Slavia games that Frank also wants more attacking football. Said this before, but trying to implement that mid season with two games a week, injuries, need for rotation, little time on the training pitch will be a swimming upstream kind of exercise. You said on...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Good posts Steff. I don't care much about having a large share of possession. I care about what we do with the ball when we have it. If we can become good enough with the ball when we have it we'll end up dominating possession against quite a few teams as a byproduct, because other teams will...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Forest *** OMT

    Another game I wasn't able to watch having also missed the Arsenal game. Another game I won't bother watching back. Reading comments on here, listening to the pod I get a feeling of what I would see if I did.

    Continue and build for sure. Probably a tougher game/opponent than our last two. Continuing to show that we can attack, progress the ball and create chances and I'll be reasonably happy regardless of the result. But obviously a win would be really good.

    Was subbed midweek, I think to allow him to start this weekend. Also think Bergvall is still some way off being trusted by Frank in a deeper role so if we do rotate it will be two of Palhinha, Bentancur and Sarr.

    Archie Gray

    Absolutely. And discipline. He looks experienced way beyond his years, but also way beyond his actual experience. Said this before, but with a few exceptions those deep midfielders tend to develop a bit later. He would have to become a regular starter in bigger games first, and do really well...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess that's the aim we'll never reach, but keep aiming for. I can't remember a single really good team that didn't have at least 6-7 players that were quite clearly first choice and better than the other options. I do want us to have competition for places, I do want that to be as close as...

    It does happen, yeah. In those situations Spence and Udogie are definitely better. But I also think it's mostly an issue that's worth living with given his strengths. Particularly when his strengths are the weaknesses of several of our other starting players.

    I think mostly he needs to have a solid period injury free where he can get back to his best and potentially push on from there.

    Dribbling stats are imo really inaccurate/misleading, particularly over a small sample size. Not his best game, but was alright.

    Great close control too and ability to get out of tight spaces with quick feet. Perhaps sometimes he could take more risk. Personally I'd like to see us use him more, give him the ball even more rather than he himself taking more risk.
