    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Which of Dembele, Walker, Rose, Toby, Jan, Eriksen, Kane, Dele, Son and Lloris did he bring in? When we were realistically never in the title race... Again - I am not trying to belittle Poch or his achievements... it's the deification that I have issues with...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yes he was a good - possibly excellent - coach who made full use of a once-in-a-generation crop of outstanding (many of them world class) players that he was lucky enough to stumble across. Yet the fact is, he was unable to fashion them into a winning team over that time and, in his best...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Indeed we have been so successful over the past 40 years, winning the massive trophy haul of two league cups and a UEFA cup (in other words 7.5% of a cup per season!!) that Frank stands out for being a complete loser. Does he not understand that for these 40 years we have been beating "Wolves...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You mean like Odobert "took advantage" when a 35 year old Jordan Henderson caught up with him?? How exactly did we "exploit" that situation?

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    Do you honestly think - goals apart - he is anywhere as good as the other six in the list? Even probably Schade? For years, we harped and moaned (with good reason) against Levy because he always held onto players when they clearly needed to be moved on,... that he never understood the best...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Me too... would you like to pitch in and get him another Walker, Rose, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Son.... and above all Kane? The "Frank is no good" crowd don't want comparison to "Ange did X" when we are basically talking about the same squad of players (actually creatively infinitely worse...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Can I follow it up then... sticking to the Brentford game.... what would you have preferred? The point we got playing a game as ugly as it comes or a more gung-ho approach knowing the massive limitations of our creative options and the significant risk (based on Brentford's home form) of a...

    What would have been a "realistic expectation" from the squad available to Frank at Brentford? Assuming getting points was the primary objective....

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The way I see it with Kudus is that he was brilliant in August - so his talent is clearly there. Hwoever teams soon realised he was our only realistic decent creative outlet and they could therefore double or triple down on him because the rest of the attackers - Richy, Xavi, Odobert, Tel, Muani...

    I have no problem in having such an option - as long as a buyback clause is included... which we seem to never utilise??

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think the problem is mainly the definition of "being brave". For many fans, that definition seems to be scoring more than the opponent and looking at defense as an afterthought... which to me explains the adulation Ange got in his first six months; until the reality of that approach hit home...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Have learnt it is futile to do so with a rose tinter... I am the first to be grateful for Poch for a fantastic number of years and undoubtedly agree that he was a great coach. However he had massive flaws which you are willfully ignoring... which were critical in the absence of any success...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yet still managed to win nothing... I never said he was not a good coach but with the squad and opportunities he had... he should have won something...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    And won zilch... despite being in the most number of finals in recent history. Let's cut this Poch deification for goodness sake. The guys did brilliantly in the league for a number of years but he was profoundly lucky to find a squad in which he has minimal input in assembling.... Yet he is...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford FC ***

    I didn't see horseshoes yesterday... just donkeys with blinkers unable to play a simple routine 10 yard pass.... with many actually attempted through central midfield, missing a teammate by as much as a yard or two and ending up in the feet of the Brentford players to start a counter....

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur v Brentford FC ***

    Interesting posts.... did those clamouring for "expansive football" - and slating Frank - actually bother to see yesterday's game? Especially the complete inability of most of those players to string ONE correct pass, particularly when under the smallest of pressure? Vicario having to kick long...

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    Selling a player for a 15 - 20 mill loss two years after signing him for 50mill+ is a failure.... and considering the likes of Cole Palmer cost less... that is a damning proof of the incompetence of our scouting and signing decisions

    (Brennan) Johnson Again Olé Olé!

    Don't know how to call it.... another failed signing! How many of those have we seen - year in, year out! But he did score THAT goal and I guess the joy it brought was worth 20 mill!!!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I am always perplexed by these statements... you may fluke it in a cup (as we did last year) or maybe for a few weeks but in a full league, it is invariably the case that quality of play = results. That's why the league is the best barometer. So I cannot understand how people say that they...
