    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree with most of this. I’m more sympathetic of Frank in that I think we will see things ‘solved’ second half of the season probably. Equally, I don’t believe the right way to look at it is that Frank is here to ‘solve’ something that Ange left behind. He is embarking on his own project, and...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think I just look upon football differently to you, and it’s great because it’s all about opinions and I’m by no means completely right. For instance though I don’t look at it like Ange left a failing defence and therefore we need someone to come in and ‘fix’ that. I look at it like, if...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Agreed with your points in the last paragraph. I don’t particularly jump up and down with the end of the Liverpool performance for example as if it shows anything. I want more consistent, complete performances. But what I will say is that I think part of Frank’s way is to be able to control...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Ok fair enough. Now I see that I’m not actually a million miles from you because I think that in say Ange’s first season, we played progressively effectively enough over the course of a season to finish 5th. But we didn’t have the squad to sustain it once injuries bit and oppositions started to...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I am certain that in previous posts he has said that Frank, Pep or Jesus himself would not be able to get this squad to play effectively progressive football. Therefore by implication (and I think actually had also been explicitly stated) that what we are seeing in terms of style is because...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Something I’ve been thinking about is that Frank is actually the perfect coach for the ENIC ethos, in that you make the ‘right’ plays over and over at the ‘right times’ and over the long term it pays off for you. My opinion is that the way Frank thinks about football is the way Levy thought...

    Sorry, unless I’ve misunderstood you do seem to have been saying that no manager could make this squad play a more progressive style of football more effectively?

    Agree with your assessment of the Poch said versus this as well as what Poch would do for these players. I too am baffled by the under rating of Romero here. The idea that it’s laughable that he is better than Toby just shows why these debates are being had. If you think that, then yeah you...

    I think we have a deeper squad than 16-17, (as well as compared to last season) we have an equal defence and a worse attack. I go back to the point that Maresca can make a Championship team play progressive football, and then he can implement his style at Chelsea pretty quickly too. If Maresca...

    Heaven forbid this lower mid table squad full of average players lost of a couple of games in a highly competitive English Premier League!

    I saw some really good football with a clear identity up to and including the Emirates Marketing Project away game. And then I saw a club on its knees making do and managing through with a historic injury crisis.

    Some managers articulating a vision that the fans will get behind buy themselves more time. And I think managers that emphasise solidity over style are especially required to get results. Otherwise what is the trade off for the relative drabness we sit through? This is where I think some...

    Sure, and I’m not making a prediction. I’m saying I think in terms of pedigree it is at a bare minimum the 8th best squad. It could well be higher.

    Brazil not being quite as good doesn’t change my overall point. I’m not saying he’s prime Ronaldo. I’m just saying he starts for his country. Anyway. I just massively disagree with this idea that the players aren’t good enough, and because of that I think you and I are coming at Frank from very...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Ok, I’ve listened to it. I think JPB and DKP do their best to come across as balanced and thoughtful at all times. I just don’t agree with them on this. I think when JPB started his point, around whether we should be happy that we ‘had the better of the chances’ or ‘showed a bit of fight’ at...
