    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    From the BBC article yesterday. Spurs have scored 20 times from an xG of 11.2, meaning they have scored about nine more than the average team would have, from the shots they have taken this season. So here's a question. In fact two. Why would I trust an indicator that is performing so...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    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?

    Archie Gray

    I can remember a couple of weeks ago that Gray was on the treatment table. I reckon he was probably blowing hard in the second half so getting 75 mins out of him was probably about right by Frank. I reckon that sub was always going to happen. Hopefully no negative reaction and we now get Gray...

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    Just wrote the same thing on the other thread about Bents making his captain look a mug by not making a simple move to receive a pass for the goal. I also called out Romero for not being able to live with another player's mistake and clearing his lines. I'm not saying that I know the answer...

    Cristian Romero

    Spot on. Look closely and the pass to Sarr wasn't his preferred one. He immediately looked to Bents who stood frozen rather than move a couple of yards to receive the ball. Bents allowed the opposition player to be directly between him and Romero. He made his captain look a mug but Romero needed...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    I think you're right. When you look at the bigger picture, there really is a dearth of strikers around Europe right now. That is why getting Solanke was the right move for the club at the time. You don't see the amount of goals from Johnson, Son and Madds last season without the toil of Solanke...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    I watched it live and Rachel was actually on top form with some of the banter. Whatever you think of her politics, I reckon she'd be a laugh to have a beer with after work on a Friday. I do struggle watching these things though. I would love the speaker of the house to tell everyone to STFU...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    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...

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    I think someone already nailed it (Sissoko?). It was a win for manager tactics and a loss for player's individual errors. I would be asking 2 of them, Spence and Romero, to take a step down and watch the weekend game from the bench. Let them think about their casual nature to defending and...

    Why doesn't Spence as the near post defender just clear that cross at source?

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    Probably because Bents stitched him up by staying frozen to the spot. He needed to get into a position to receive the ball. There should have been 2 passes on.

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    I think we see in these moments why Spence falls short at the highest level as a defender. That was less than impressive.

    I don't know what is happening but Mike Bassett will be happy with this 4-4-2. 2 strikers working in tandem. It must be the eighties.

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    Are you saying that even though the data shows Frank is significantly disadvantaged by injuries compared to his rivals, it doesn't matter because his name is not Ange and the injured players aren't Romero and VDV? :cool:

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm not with you on the messages to media piece being meaningless. A footballer manager represents the brand of a football club and is the main communication vehicle for their employers. How they carry themselves and the things also represents their own personal brand. How they answer questions...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What gets me is the narratives. An entire campaign for Ange that he should get minimally 2 years and then a further campaign that he deserved the 3rd because of the trophy. Then Frank joins and the equivalent narrative becomes that he should get this season. Some are sneaking up to 18 months but...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think we have a mildly stronger squad than after the Jan window last year as we came out of the injury crisis. It would clearly be stronger with Kulu and Solanke in it as they are established first teamers. Madds is anoth big loss. We shouldn't dismiss the impact Bissouma had in our winning a...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    lol - I was only publishing the common fan narratives I've read about these players. I don't really know anything about them. As for Dorrington, what's strange is that I don't remember him moved up into midfield but I do remember Abbott serving in the 21's as a centre half. Dorrington always...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Yeah, I do find the centre half thing intriguing outside of the main 3. Obviously, Vuskovic has already made it at 18 even though he's never kicked a ball in England. Clearly, Dragusin is dead man walking and his agent will get his world class player out of here anyway. Takai is here just to...

    Putin & Russia

    I just have a feeling that would just lead to decades of "guerilla" warfare where the local Ukrainians just continue the big fight.
