    I think that against Fulham, I felt like we were trying to be whatever passes for aggressive for the team at the moment, at the start, and it didn’t work at all. We seemed waaaaaay too open to a single direct pass and they had us running backwards on more than one occasion. It was odd how easy...

    Yeah I don’t think the intention is to offer quite so…nothing in those moments we are defending. But at the very least, we did prevent good chances. And we raised the intensity when we needed to and created good chances ourselves. I’d class it as progress. I would say that countering does tend...

    I think we have that philosophy, but it’s probably to do it in the last 15 minutes of the first half and the last 30 of the second. At least that’s what I saw last night where pass and move looked a lot better. I think a lot of Frank’s philosophy (piecing together his points around competing...

    To quote Blair (I think) stability is sexy. You’re probably right on the NI rise. The trade off is the NHS got much needed investment. So as I say, look at this as a 5 year program for government. Let’s see what the picture looks like at the time of the next GE.

    I agree. There’s something about the players taking more touches, like they’ve been told to keep it safe, but it actually makes them worse. I think Bentancur is a real culprit of this. Multiple times last night he took too long, or played a teammate into trouble. It was odd. Like, just because...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    Yeah, and that’s why I’m ok with it. Because if the plan is to frustrate them (and Saudi Sportswashing Machine, especially with Hall and Livramento back, at home, are a really strong, aggressive team) in that first 30 minutes. We absolutely cannot give them a situation where they have an overload, or where we...

    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    Did they really create anything of note in that first 30 minutes? They definitely had territory, but did they create an overload, or a 1v1, or some chance where it would be harder to miss? I don’t recall one. And I think that was the plan working in action. Clearly when you have that plan, you...

    Hasn’t there been 5 interest rate cuts since they came in? Are the policies you’re referring to the public sector pay rises?

    Genuinely, how is ‘looking at the ball’ even part of this discussion when his head is locked by Burn’s arm? I can’t get over the arrogance of it. A ref making a bad call, is a mistake. A process mess up like Liverpool had to ensure, is a mistake. Frustrating yes. This is just sheer arrogance...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree. I think it was intentional. Other good thing was we were getting a lot of bookings especially first half. I would obviously like our tackling to be better but I think the players are taking the point about needing to win the duels to heart. And I think we stopped Saudi Sportswashing Machine creating...

    Robbie Mustoe on Pearooster saying it’s the right decision. Amazing how someone in a prominent position can be so wrong.

    One thing on their first goal. Feel like it should be an easy fix. If Bentancur is over in the corner to double up. Someone needs to fill that space. Don’t know if it’s Kudus or Berg/Sarr, but someone needs to. Hopefully we fix that stuff, it’s just obvious.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I’m going to say big credit for Frank today. I think there’s improvements that can be made. But I see what we were doing and thought we were well coached today. I think there’s a clear idea of increasing the intensity, and the attacking movements (forward runs, inverting etc) at the right...

    Usually I hate that sort of self indulgent nonsense. But I agree. That decision was so utterly, egregiously bad. We should.

    genuinely amazed. Can’t believe it. I can’t actually believe a team of professionals decided to look at that footage and make that call. With time, and space to make the right decision, they decided it was the right thing for the game to do that. Absolutely amazed. Take all the club bias out...
