    We probably need to bring in another keeper so Kinsky can head out on loan. He's at an age where he needs to work on the weaknesses and get some experience.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think we may need to stop comparing Frank to Ange in this way. It's obviously natural to do so because he was the last guy in the hot seat. Where it gets divisive is perceptions. My perception of Ange in the public domain was one of ego, backtracking, being spiky and a general arrogance that...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think we'll see Frank switch tactics back to being more conservative for the big 4 Feb games. We won't be over-committing and will happily take draws. I'm expecting him to last 2 or 3 of those games. I have a feeling he won't be in situ for the NLD.

    You could well be right. Frank is definitely applying his own filters to the squad and inevitably with a short term focus. As an example, you don't mention Scarlett above but I believe there have been more occasions where he should have been used as a 9 with his back to goal. He could have put...

    Only because everyone else had covered that aspect. My view is always that it is very rare that there is one root cause for a single goal. There are usually multiple culprits and Romero plays his part as the baddy in a fair few. So don't be baffled. I think Frank has a decision to make with...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think you summarise how we all feel. We can't catch a break e.g. hitting the cross bar yesterday. We are also getting a raw deal from the officials across many, many games. They have no doubt cost us points with their incompetence. As you say we're sort of in that shoulda, woulda, coulda mode...

    Solanke is a critical enabler to a system. He was for Ange and he will be for Frank. There's always better out there but he's one of a kind in our squad in my opinion. We will need a competing number 9 as we look beyond Richi and Muani. Be nice to think one of our own young lads can step up...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Yeah, I just don't know what a caretaker does differently though. They can't magically fix the injury crisis so they can't really change the line-up. The players still look like they are on side so will they get a higher application out of them? Will shifting some tactical pieces really make...

    What I would say is that if we had 11 players that were crossing the white line and playing for the shirt for the entire 90 mins then it could have been different. I would encourage everyone to watch Xavi on the first goal and Spence on the second. First goal, Xavi gives Walker the freedom of...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I'd also love to know how people who want Frank gone this week would navigate the rest of the season and then secure a long term manager. Same appointment or do we do it in 2 hits? Who exactly can do this or these roles? It's an interesting point of inflexion for the club.......AGAIN !!!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I actually don't think Xavi is "all in" all of the time. I think he easily drifts out of full intensity mode very easily. So does Spence. Think about Romero and Porro. You'd never see either of them give anything less than 100% in every moment of the game. With Xavi and Soence there is the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. We have a number 10 and he should be where Eriksen would have been. I reckon if that had been the 25th min then Solanke would have had the energy levels to make that photo slightly different. I don't mean fix it obviously.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    You need to have a calming influence behind you and a very strong communicator who is giving your great advice in the moment. I have a feeling this might be another big flaw with Vic unfortunately. It's not about being shouty either. Hugo had a perfect balance with this area and you can see why...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    What I saw today was the following: - Too many players drifting in an out of giving 100%. The biggest culprits were Spence, Xavi and to a certain extent, Odobert. Not the only ones though. I said earlier, I'd love to give Spence and Xavi a lot of what Porro has. Romero has it as well. If we had...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    In their defence, I can imagine them in a team where the midfield and forwards did their jobs properly and they would be able to just focus on their own jobs. Romero especially is having to do too much in a Spurs shirt. I can see why he may not be laser focused on defending and is working with...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    lol - I doubt he wants to take Vic with him anywhere. He probably wants to take his old keeper Raya with him.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    Perhaps, but he needs to do way more when we haven't got the ball. I'd like to see a little more Porro on him to be fair.

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    We have too many picking and choosing when they're going to give 100%. We need it for 90 mins. He's not the only one.

    I can't imagine how many we'd win by every week if every player put in the same shift as Romero does.
