Thomas Frank - Head Coach

[Muttley]

Frank's big dilemma now is about what he does at the weekend.

He will feel the urge to recall Palhinha, Kudus and Xavi but will also feel that the 4 guys in midfield last night deserve another go. That includes Bents who played his part. Inevitably he needs to rotate to keep fresh legs in the line-up but needs to make sure we don't drop back to the NLD mode.

It’s the malaise of modern society, the feeling of entitlement, that feeling that somehow the world owes you something.

I would like to see their reaction to messing up in the workplace and everyone turning around and booing them, they would instantly go screaming to HR demanding retribution and compensation

Hahaha And in an environment where your rival organization is in the room at the same time. Talk about empowering the oppo and dismissing your own

There's a part of me that thinks that this system doesn't necessarily work against a Fulham. I'm not ready to truly analyse the shape and system to say it won't sonim kind of hoping he does use it again and we see how well it works against a different type of opposition.

I'd be tempted to go 4-3-3 and basically switch Bentancur out for Kudus. Gray and Bergvall have to start whatever now.

Gray has just returned from a short spell on the sidelines. I doubt he'll play back to back games. Wasn't it a soft tissue injury as well?

Richarlison...Muani...Kudus
Bergval...Palhinha...Gray
Udogie...vdV...Romero...Porro
Vicario​

You've then got Palhinha's slow transition killing off our attacks, especially in a game we should be dominating. I'd do that team, but Gray as the pivot and Sarr in on the right. Palhinha primarily needs to be reserved for suffocating games in the last 20 minutes.

Richarlison...Muani...Kudus
Bergval...Palhinha...Gray
Udogie...vdV...Romero...Porro

Looking at that could easily become a 4-4-2 at times with Kudus on the right, Rich and Muani centrally and Bergval on the left tucking in and Udogie overlapping....

I want to see Xavi playing in a system where the other 2 midfielders are willing and actively trying to get the ball to him. Bentancur and Palhinha alongside him in the three will not work, we’ve seen it enough times to know by now.

TF is lauded for developing young players so I want to see him reward at least 2 of Bergvall, Gray, and Sarr with starts this weekend. What does it say to them if they all get replaced for Fulham at home?

Recent results have brought a feeling of gloom to us, but he can turn the tide on that with a good performance and result this weekend. Up the spurs

I'd keep building him into that from the bench. Then have him ready to take over the starting role when Sarr goes to ACN.

How reactive to media criticism about xG was yesterday's slightly more open and risky play?
