    I was critical of Ange for some similar decisions. We should have a better squad, but the role of the manager is also to manage the squad he has. Yes, I would rather have rested some players and played worse players.

    We went from him feeling like he had no other legitimate options to us having to use the other options for 3 months anyway. A very much both probable and predictable outcome. Short term and rather poor management for me.

    Igor the Interim

    The choice between flogging Kudus and having no outball also very much included the option of flogging him to the point of him getting a lengthy injury problem meaning that we'd be without that out ball for a rather long time. Similar with playing Udogie despite his recent return from injury...

    Levy's Plan

    Probably would have kept Paratici happy too? With Levy for sure there were mistakes, but he was very much capable of decisive action when things were going really poorly. It was actually used as a criticism against him, him only acting decisively in the market when we were in real trouble...

    Even just one thing on Frank... (I think there are many, but this is one of the bigger one's). We had one available player in midfield and up front who could hold the ball up really well and progress the ball really well in Kudus. He was absolutely key to us looking semi competent in the first...

    Yeah. Astonishing just how many ways we find to lose, shot ourselves in the foot, get unlucky etc.

    Tudor has failed to to fix the mess Thomas Frank got us into. Not Frank alone, but for sure partly him.

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    For sure vibes are important. That mostly comes from getting results and performances though. There's no real short term repair of the stuff between the hairline and eyebrows. Confidence and belief has been shattered. Maybe a real vibesy person coming in could give the players a momentary lift...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    No doubt Redknapp returning would be a massive gamble given his age and time out of the game. In some ways symptomatic that he's even being discussed. But at the same time can understand it, desperate times. While I definitely am quite a long way off trusting the current people in charge of...

    Feel really sorry for him. Must have been a dreadful experience.

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    Yeah. Drew the game 2-2 other than those two giveaways. One of ours was gifted too, but we had other chances too. Had you said after the 3-0 went in that we'd lose by just 3 I wouldn't have believed it. But another terrible result, finding new ways to lose even though we thought we'd been...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Yeah I agree very much on caution in judgement when we have limited information. But there's imo no way you say we didn't panic if you think there's a chance we're going down. Such an obvious terrible look if that happens. And at that time he was our lone DoF. It's his job to know that we were...

    That's from the last game, when Porro was back, no? Souza the 19 year old kid. Would leave us with Richarlison as the only attacker on the bench meaning that 3 of that front 4 would have to play the 90. I'm not saying that wouldn't be better just to be clear, but would be issues regardless. I...

    My point was about what he's had available so far. To me there haven't been many realist options that didn't include playing players out of position regardless of formation.

    Igor the Interim

    Agreed that we have some wide options that aren't typical wingers. Most of the time that requires width from an attacking full back, no? We did have Porro back last game, but there's been a real shortage there too. My point is that no matter how we line up it's going to be imbalanced. Tudor...
