    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Selling Brennan without a replacement looks terrible now the window has closed. This must be what gives Romero confidence to come out and still jibe at the board because it just fundamentally leaves us short in a tough period. All well and good wanting to sell better or sell at the perceived...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Really loved seeing him lose it on the touchline, both for their goal and our equaliser. For someone who puts so much stock in being balanced and measured, it was great to see. I really want him to succeed. I also think that there is clearly something we are building towards, which is that...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Emirates Marketing Project, Sunday Feb 1 KO - 4.30pm***

    I must say seeing Frank celebrate the equaliser made me think how much I want him to succeed. For someone who clearly puts so much stock in being balanced and measured, seeing him lose it was good to witness! And you have to credit the result and the performance, especially with so many...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think it’s time to admit that your very specific idea of bringing Harry Redknapp back as Frank’s assistant and bridge to the boardroom is dead in the water.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It’s a good point isn’t it, that after West Ham the message was basically that they couldn’t confirm he’d be continuing, and then after the lunch it was a little bit more certain. The only mitigating thing I can think is that they wanted to have the lunch to see if HE wanted to continue...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah agreed. We aren’t conceding goals on the break due to leaving too many men forward. That’s what is maddening about the goals we are conceding. Burnley’s first, Bournemouth’s…these were open play goals where we had plenty of men back. It’s a lack of confidence or assertiveness. When that...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah I mean…I’m sure he’s going to do a great job as an interim and would do a good job for us as an interim, but it’s an entirely different calculation to making long term decisions and getting behind the culture you are trying to build within that. I’m not so Frank in that I can’t see the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed. I feel the same about this Carrick discussion now. He’s got some good results for sure. They won today with two incredible low xG chances and rare giveaway from a tough Arsenal defence. They have some confidence and they got the breaks. I’m not gutted we didn’t bring Carrick in based...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I swear this thing of just taking a player’s form and using that as the definitive description of his level, is so frustrating. United was a laughing stock like a month ago. Their signings were a laughing stock. Now all of a sudden it’s proven signings that we haven’t done. Even though we...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I also agree with this. This run of form is not our players true level either. I simply don’t believe it’s Frank bad or players bad. I think it’s transitioning from one thing to another, along with some bad luck and terrible confidence. No doubt players and Frank could have also done better in...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I actually agree with you largely, I thought we easily deserved to win this game and were very unlucky not to do so, I don’t think Frank should be sacked on the basis of drawing a game we should have easily won. If our board think he’s the long term guy, we need to not let things outside of his...

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

    Yeah I hear you. Honestly my view was that I was done with the Frank project after the Villa match, because the season was over. The West Ham match made me think the players had given up on him and therefore a change was inevitable, but Dortmund showed they hadn’t given up. He put some plans...

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

    Honestly thought we were by far the better team and fully deserved to win that. Surprised by the negativity I’m seeing. Ridiculous errors for their goals but we had by far the better chances.

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

    Gah…we’ve just had a period where we win the ball back really well 3 times in a row, and every time afterwards it’s a sloppy pass getting out. Largely under no pressure. If we get this right, we can get some great breaks but it just requires quality and focus.

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Completely agree with you. I think xG is a really interesting data point to consider. However I see even really smart people use xG as the sole data point to win their ‘underlying numbers’ argument and I don’t think that’s right. It takes into account the quality of the chance created, cool. But...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Agreed. Football is a team game and you can’t work on the defence. How you attack, how you think about possession and how you use your attackers off ball all have an impact on both goals scored and conceded. Ultimately if you’re winning with a well oiled machine you will be scoring more and...

    Also speaks to why we can do well in the CL, including physically over powering even a good Dortmund team, but haven’t translated it to the league. We definitely need something more in an attacking sense.

    Love this video. In a general sense I’m curious what the next evolution is. As it relates to Spurs, I think it’s good that in Frank we have someone who is alive to the man-man pressure, as he talks about this all the time. So in a defensive sense, I think we’re pretty well set. In an...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    Where I would defend Frank on this is a point that it makes in this article. XG doesn’t take into account game state and Frank’s approach is all about taking it into account.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Personally I think it’s mad to criticize Frank for sitting back more on a 2-0 lead in the CL. I also think that the sit back and counter approach doesn’t mean we couldn’t have got the third or were necessarily less likely to. Again, players need to execute and make the right decision rather than...
