    *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Doncaster Rovers - Carabao Cup ***

    A difference between now and then is the depth of quality we have in the squad. Of course those players won't be fluid and in form and all those things, so a risk of a disjointed performance. Imo we should still have enough quality on the pitch to come out on top. And some of those players do...

    João Palhinha

    Sure we can partner Palhinha with Sarr/Bentancur. Or play all three in midfield. We can with Palhinha set up to be overall really difficult to break down. What we also can do with Palhinha is what we saw in the second half against Brighton. Play him and essentially surround him with more...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Only watched the last 30-35 minutes of the game, but imo really good and somewhat intriguing to see him play a bit deeper with Simons as the 10/AM. If/when he's good enough defensively I think that mostly fixes our ball progression and creativity issues deep in midfield. A team with Bergvall...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion FC ***

    Only watched the last 30 or so minutes for reasons. Good to hear we were better on the ball in this game. What I saw I thought was rather impressive and good to see Simons come on and influence things in the middle. Strong fight back, tough place to go. Let's hope there is more to come from...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion FC ***

    If Udogie is ready to start this would be a good game to play Spence at right back imo. Could help defensively up against Mitoma, and we can't just keep playing Porro every game (as important as I think his passing is for us). VdV too may be a pertinent rotation. The last thing we need is...

    Hopefully at least some networks and broadcasters will stand up to them. And hopefully at least some on the right will see how ridiculous this is.

    Richarlison

    I agree he's inconsistent in his overall play, as you mentioned in a different post. He can have great involvements, but most of his technical work is inconsistent. Provide him good service in the box and he'll score regularly. And his work rate, effort and all that will pretty much always be...

    American politics

    Luckily the Democrats won't imo. "They're not allowed to do that". What a thing for the president of a country with free speech to say. I can't understand how this is acceptable to anyone other than a small fringe. This alone should essentially be career ending for a politician. Just that...

    Dominic Solanke

    Absolutely. And I'm looking forward to see what Solanke can offer us under Frank. My hopes are rather high. Maybe Frank can get him scoring more freely. But I also think he offers some other qualities that Richarlison lack. Better hold up play and link play in particular. A better target for...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Doesn't feel to me that we're zigging when others are zagging. A lot of teams going for more physicality and defensive solidity, a real focus on set pieces. Less dogmatisk, more flexibility. Feels we're very much following the trend, Frank did his part in shaping that trend at Brentford. That's...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Definitely in much better shape than at this stage last season. Spence massively stepping up, Kinsky in, Danso in, Dragusin will return. For me we would miss any starter of course, but I would be mostly concerned about missing Romero. I think he gives us so much on the ball that others can't...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Our midfield was definitely unbalanced last season. And has been so this season too. Particularly on the ball/attacking I'd argue it's our biggest weakness at the moment. Palhinha has made a significant difference. But he can't fix the stuff he isn't good at. Really hope Gray continues to be...

    Another shooting in Murica

    Not a fully fresh episode and nothing new factually, but really liked an episode of the "It could happen here" titled "Charlie Kirk's asassination: Sorting fact from fiction". Again, nothing new on this specific event, but more on good ways to understand it. The need for caution in assigning...

    Another shooting in Murica

    The tactic to pandering to Trump's ego is to do so over the top in an embarrassing way. Nothing less is enough. Zelenskyy tried just being a normal pandering human, wasn't enough and Trump and Vance were ready to throw him to the wolves. He had to repeat his gratitude, grovel, embarrass...

    Another shooting in Murica

    People are pushing back, trying to talk about those 90% of things. Mainly Democrats and "the left". As long as the right, MAGA world, republicans and self proclaimed centrist don't speak out it doesn't help. We're probably well past the point where doing so would just get you ignored and/or...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Du you think he is that? I'm kinda doubtful. Think he's still in that "if the circumstances are right" category, but the circumstances are widening. Also curious what the plan is going forward with him. If we'll see him deployed a bit deeper like last season or if the more attacking of the...

    Xavi Simons

    Being able to play with intensity without stepping over the line is the key imo. Players that learn that typically do so with experience. Particularly for a more creative player like Simons he should be able to learn that over time, it's not like he has to make a lot of half desperate tackles...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Klopp was always direct imo. I agree most top managers will evolve (or be left behind - see Mourinho). But was talking about Klopp and Pep as the exception in that they didn't focus on making teams defensively solid first, whereas that was mostly the norm before them. Just my impression. I...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I don't think there will ever be a right way to go. Many different ways of going about it in a good way. But having a fairly clear identity I think is a good thing. Yeah, prep time and being flexible with little time to prepare while also having to integrate more ways of playing will be a...
