    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yes - I had edited my post before seeing your response saying as much. An additional CB vs additional Attacker makes no odds when we line up with any 2 of our available CMs. It has to be 3

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    @thfcsteff - A midfield 2 of Bergvall and Palinha (away to one of the best sides in Europe no less) gets totally overrun. IMV people are getting yesterday wrong, we didn't play 532 it was 523 - Palinha + Bentancur in the middle with two AMs/WFs in front with Richarlison. We needed an...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Brentford were not set up as a team under Frank to 'just not lose' except for maybe at certain points in their first season in the PL - so I don't believe that is the sum total of our ambitions under him, I think it's a bad faith argument to keep pushing that angle tbh

    No, but it shows where the players head is at. If he's holding out for a move late in the window then he'd have been doing the same earlier. If you disagree fine

    A few games back you were complaining he didn't change things up enough, now he needs to stop chopping and changing 😂

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    The way things have seemingly been framed is that the 'football men' would be in charge of that rather than the Lewis's - namely, Vini Paratichi & Lange

    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    That's how I would want to see us line up - we don't have a playmaker to play alongside Palinha so we need to double up on the central options alongside him and at least go man for man (sometimes a man advantage) even if the players aren't particularly creative as it gives you options to play...

    Xavi from the little I have seen is not a creative player, not with regards to passing anyway and certainly not from deep which is where we are lacking. IDK what the focus for attack today was as we never showed an ability to do so, we were by design or by being outplayed penned back and...

    We don't have creative players available - so you make a choice to either focus on wing play or double up on our non specific CMs (in addition to Palinha) and try to win out on numbers, but then you sacrifice an attacker/potential goals - which is another area we are lacking.

    Slim pickings there atm unfortunately - we sorely lack creativity in the middle of the pitch and it is only heightened by the absences of Maddison & Kulusevski

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Recently there was a table that showed without set-piece goals we'd have been top of the table* (though that's probably changed since as it was a couple of games back) so it's a funny line of attack on the manager *Arsenal were deep in the bottom half of said table too iirc

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Howe is doing ok at Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Similar CV to Frank. As I said back in the summer we as a fanbase would be best served by moving away from the idea of there being a quick-fix to turning us in to challengers, be that appointing a certain manager or buying the right player. If we expect every...

    Meh he must have shown a degree of interest given we pursued the transfer but ultimately we were clearly a back up option

    He probably would have come to us if Arsenal didn't oblige as he was obviously intent on leaving Palace in that window

    He literally phoned Arteta to plead for a transfer when it looked like we were his only suitors towards the end of the window - i doubt moving earlier would have made a difference

    He seems to always be falling backwards whenever the ball is played in to him

    Well of course you did and a few others have set your stall out since the change in managers.

    It's a disgrace because we've failed miserably to get a result and turned in a poor performance, we've set up defensively and (so far) shipped 4 goals - i can't argue otherwise and nor would I want to. Had we kept it tight and nicked a result no one would be complaining about the setup. The...
