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

    The moment Kane left and Ange walked through the door, I've always felt our goals could come from anywhere in the team. It was so uplifting to see that massive change in the way our club was setup. I still feel that now with Frank. Just because, Odobert hasn't scored goals, it doesn't mean he...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Just a question (to everyone) on what you said above about having access to the first choice defenders. If we had to run with one of Romero or VDV and one of Porro or Spence and Kinsky in sticks for Vic, what happens? Personally, I feel that in Danso, Udogie and Kinsky we are in so much better...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Intelligence and experience always count for a lot in the middle of the park. Palhinha is a good get, but for me Frank is the bigger get. Last season was equally to do with the tactics as the personnel in my mind. Our 3 centre mids were told to split left, right and central and move up into...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, agree Klopp was mostly more direct than Pep, but I think both moved in that direction over time. 29 games against each other. I think it was Klopp that got Pep to think about his style and adapt. Klopp 11 Pep 10 Draws 8 is the record. Pep could see something was missing in those games. He...

    Lucas Bergvall

    I think I'd be happiest if we keep rotating this midfield AND getting results. There seemed to be a lot of narratives last season that our midfield wasn't good enough and it only worked if the best eleven was on the pitch. So many of us called out the manager's tactics. I've even read narratives...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    It's not actually harsh for the very reasons you cite Frank for. Rotation is subtle and used in a way that keeps players fresh. You can make minimal changes and constant rotation and not disrupt things too much. Pep is the master of doing exactly that. You might be right about this competition...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Interesting that you talk about Pep and Klopp doing it differently. What I've noticed is those 2 clubs have evolved their tactics year by year and they are more direct themselves. As I've said a few times, I think the best managers map their strategy to what's happening in the league and then...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Ange did this to us when he first took over when we played Fulham. That day he made 8 changes and lost. Today he made 10 changes, and the only consistent selection from the weekend had to change his position from LB to centre half. How can anyone defend managers that do this and then lose...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Was he running alongside Bergval? :cool: On a serious note, I doubt he would be as quick after the injuries and as he starts to hit his late twenties. It's good that we still have a player that has some pace though. When he was playing for Conte he would eat up the ground and get goal side and...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    When he first joined I noticed that a lot of his defensive capability came from shutting down space using his extreme pace. He was paired with Hojbjerg and we all knew Pierre had no recovery pace. Then Bents got injured and has never recovered that express pace. Now he has to rely on different...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess I would get into the partnerships on the pitch. For me, I didn't see a partnership amongst Bents, Bergval and Sarr. I saw 3 individuals doing their jobs but not really working together in the way that we see Romero and VDV. That is a massive miss at the moment through the midfield. It's...

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    You clearly have to make double subs in this situation. Tired legs after the weekend and you only get 3 sub windows. They were good subs, as long as the next ones include Simons and Richi.

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    I'd change that entire left side, especially after Simons getting away with not walking. Udogie and Muani/Odobert for me

    Spence has not shown anything on his left foot to warrant being the LWB for the next 30 mins.

    Perhaps, for Spence and get VDV into LB

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    We need Udogie on. We've had such a lack of a leftie all game, and Spence is not at the races.

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    two key matches where Wayne Rooney played against Villarreal, the first being a famous 2005 Champions League match where he was sent off for ironically applauding the referee, and the second a 2015 testimonial for Duncan Ferguson where Rooney returned as a substitute for Everton against...

    *** OMT UCL Tottenham Hotspur vs Villarreal ***

    So they managed to find 2 ex-Spurs player to do some punditry on Spurs in the CL. The third one is Rooney who never played for us. Rooney 559 games for Utd, obviously none for Spurs Carrick 464 games for Utd, 75 for Spurs Berbatov 149 games for Utd, 102 for Spurs Anyone else spotted some bias...

    Love that Foyth is playing centre half but wearing the no 8 shirt. Knowing the ex Spurs player like we do, totally makes sense to me.

    Archie Gray

    So you have Danso and Udogie on the bench so the only call Frank could have made was rest Davies and select Gray. That must have been a close call.
