    ***Spurs vs Leeds United***, PL, 4th October 2025 at Elland Road

    Good win, performance a bit up and down. Thought our best spell was the first part of the second half and got a goal from it too. Several players putting in very good performances, and no one being disappointing imo. Still things lacking, but a tough place to go and all that. Win before an...

    ***Spurs vs Leeds United***, PL, 4th October 2025 at Elland Road

    Been alright. Shame about the somewhat scrappy equaliser as we'd gotten the game into a good state for us before that. But it's not like we really deserved to be a goal up either. All in all close. Similar problems to most of the season, but Kudus, Simons and Odobert does offer some solutions...

    This for me too. It's too early to expect real consistency of performance. I'm about as certain as I can be that Frank will want to see our possession game improve. It's just not his top priority at the moment.

    Expecting more of the same as we've seen recently. Mostly solid, but struggling with ball progression and dependent on individual brilliance. First goal will be very important. My guess would be two of Palhinha, Sarr and Bentancur will start with Bergvall/Gray/Simons more as a 10. Personally I...

    Cristian Romero

    Absolutely. For me that should be a top priority, but very difficult to find that along with sufficient defensive and physical quality. Young players developing into that player may be our best bet.

    João Palhinha

    Depends on how Gray and Bergvall develop and what they're trusted to do by Frank for me. Maddison depends on how he looks when he returns. No doubt we miss him now and it's not easy getting a player immediately better than him.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Said this before, but he's short on awareness. Can play with more risk and ambition on the ball, but the risk is quite large because he doesn't have that awareness to know when opponents are too close and he needs to take less risk. Would be really good next to a proper deep playmaker (Carrick...

    Archie Gray

    Really hope he gets increasingly more game time if he keeps performing like he has. Brings some much needed qualities to our midfield when he plays. I definitely want to see him next to Palhinha in more games.

    Yeah, we see that rather differently then.

    Xavi Simons

    Yeah. He's more like Kulusevski or Bergvall in that regard compared to say Maddison. More direct, higher risk, whereas Maddison is more secure

    Not unusual for that personality on the ball to not be there yet at that age, but come later. If it will or not is a different question.

    6 games is a rather small sample to be looking at assist numbers. According to whoscored he has the second highest xA (expected assists) of our players pr. 90 in the league this season, behind Kudud and Simons. Think he had 9 assists last season in all competitions without Kudus ahead of him...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yes, we did. My point is that we were able to do that because they didn't press as hard and well. We have quite a few players who are well capable of that quick and good passing as long as they're not under real significant pressure. But unable to progress the ball well if the pressure is stronger.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    We tried pressing high a bit, but other than an early turnover (iirc) mostly just got played through. Our own issues playing through a press (or being able to go direct and make it stick with any real frequency) remains the biggest issue. That's what needs fixing the most. For a period of the...

    **** OMT Tottenham Hotspur FC v Bodo Glimt ****

    Agreed. Think he looks a bit short on confidence still. Don't think he's back to the player he was before we signed him after an injury plagued first season here. To me seems to almost always slow down when he receives the ball, needs to settle on the ball, then take on his man. But that also...
