    Xavi Simons

    Simons and Bergvall when playing as the 10 mostly suffers from the same thing. We're not getting them involved. We're not finding them in pockets of space. The game mostly passes them by, not as a result of anything they're doing or not doing, but as a result of how we play.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Everton*** - OMT

    Seems like it will be a really challenging game for us. They're quite good, we've been at best up and down. Assuming Romero is still out Porro is so important for us, only great passer in deep areas. He looked off it against Monaco on the ball and has played a lot recently, looks in need of a...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Under Ange we played both fantastic football and really poor football. Last half a year in particular was mostly poor or not fantastic. A mix of bad and (mostly in the EL) something quite similar to what we're seeing this season. But at other times we did play fantastic football. We do have...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It's in part quality. Berg for Bodø Glimt Isn't overall a better player than Palhinha, Bentancur or Sarr. But at that aspect of the game he is a better player. Teams that want to play like that prioritise players with those qualities, at the cost of other qualities. For them obviously Berg is...

    I hope you're wrong. But I definitely see your perspective as valid.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed. I think it will be a challenging change to make. A significant part of our increased defensive solidity is built on not taking risks. Not playing through the centre, not pushing that many players forward a step. Hopefully this is step one, integrating a style that we can then continue...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What Solanke and Kulusevski would give us more than anything is better hold up play, target man type players. We're imo playing a style that requires that, without having those players in the front line. We're not even trying to play through the middle, particularly with Romero out. Only...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Monaco ** 22/10/25.

    Second best. Don't like this 4-3-3 pressing shape in this game. On the ball too sloppy. Some good attacking at times, but too often breaks down with one sloppy involvement. Tricky with this many players out, but need to up our game a bit in the second half.

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

    He isn't a great passer (yet at least), but he is good at progressing the ball with those carriers and dribbles. He's also one to take up more ambitious positions to receive the ball in between the lines instead of just taking up safe positions to shuffle the ball on to someone else. Imo offers...

    Wilson Odobert

    Think Odobert is looking better now. Taking players on, getting into shooting positions. Not super effective obviously, but imo looking rather good with rather limited service. But the player he is now, if we could set him up one vs one with some space around him with a good frequency I think...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Seems to me that the two deep midfielders are playing to instructions of being very risk averse. Bentancur is capable of doing more, but with him it comes with significant risk as he tends to be unaware of what's going on around him. But if Frank saw their sideways safe passing as a...

    Mohammed Kudus

    I shudder at the thought of playing without Kudus the way we're currently playing. Fully agreed that we need more strings to our bow. With and without Kudus we're too predictable. Credit to Kudus for being this good despite us being this predictable, but just imagine what he could do if we could...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Definitely not headloss time. But said in the OMT this result has been coming. Our results have been better than our underlying numbers and we can't just keep scraping wins. We were a bit unlucky against Villa, but so far this season we're still on the lucky side of things imo. Frank needs to...

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

    Result like this has been coming. We've scrapped some results from close games and it was always going to happen the other way too. Thought we were somewhat better than them overall. But again very reliant on set pieces and turnovers to create chances. I get starting Palhinha and Bentancur in a...

    American politics

    Not quite. Yet at least would be my opinion. Not sure elections have been "fair" in quite a while given gerymandering and voting suppression. The absolute insanity that is the modern media ecosystem doesn't help either. The need for an educated and informed population to withstand a democracy...

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

    I guess too he won't start and will get the chance to build his match fitness over a bit of time. But yeah, would definitely be good to see him integrated and playing well.

    Yang Min-Hyeok

    You're all comparing him to Rasiak in your minds, but don't want to make that comparison explicitly right? Good to see him settle in, get game time and perform. Probably some time needed before he could be ready for our first team, but seems to have real talent.

    Mikey Moore

    Yeah, impossible to actually know how a club will do and how they will use a loan player. But even more than that it's been only a couple of months, and these loans imo are a about a lot of things beside just starting games regularly. I think this is the kind of adversity that could be good for...

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

    I could see it being Tel. Particularly as Tel can't play in the CL mid week. Just think Frank will want to get Richarlison going again. And I think the main reasons why Richarlison hasn't been tearing it up (lack of service) will impact Tel similarly. And I think we may get into some good...
